Ordinance of past can teach a lesson

As the countdown to the Feb. 3 sales tax election in Sikeston nears, there is no shortage of suggestions for the future of our community. I have watched, listened and participated in the debate over Sikeston's need for additional money to finance some issues that are universally embraced such as cleaning up parts of the town and putting more cops on the street. If we were voting money strictly on these two issues, the election would - in my opinion - be a runaway vote in favor of the tax.
