St. Louis County Republican Central Committee Leading On Many Fronts

St. Louis County Republican Central Committee supports County Councilman Greg Quinn's challenge to lower residential assessed values by 20%

At its March 11, 2009 meeting the St. Louis County Republican Central Committee, passed the following resolution: be it resolved that St. Louis County Republican Central Committee hereby endorses St. Louis County Councilman Greg Quinn's challenge to the St. Louis County Assessor to lower the assessed value of residential values by 20% to reflect current market conditions and data develop by the Federal Reserve Bank; be it resolved further that the St. Louis County Republican Central Committee calls upon the residents of St. louis County to support Councilman Quinn's challenge.

The St. Louis County Republican Central Committee is an organization comprised of the 28 townships in St. Louis County whose mission is to identify republicans in St. Louis County for the purpose of organizing support for republican candidates and republican values such as lower taxes and smaller government. In addition, the Central Committee identifies potential candidates and supports their campaigns. In this very exciting election cycle, the Central Committee has been working hard to fulfill its mission.

The St. Louis County Central Committee has taken a stand against higher taxes in that the committee voted in favor of a resolution in opposition to Prop M, which if passed would impose a 1/2 cent sales tax for Metro. Metro has not proven that it is a good steward of the taxpayers' money, as evidenced by the cost overruns on the Cross-County Metro-Link line and the ridiculous lawsuit it waged and lost at great expense to the taxpayers. The Central Committee is in favor of effective public transportation, but Prop M was not the way to do it.
