Opinion No. (1986)

Dear Senator Lybyer:

This opinion is in response to your questions asking:

If voters abolish township form of government, what would the maximum tax rates be for road and bridge purposes and for general revenue purposes, furthermore, would the county need a special election to establish these tax limits or does the County Commission set the rates according to the statutes of Missouri and the Missouri Constitution?

Because your opinion request is devoid of any specific facts involving these questions, we will utilize the following hypothetical: X County is a third class, township organization…
