County and Gas Prices

With fuel prices on the rise to the most recent prices showing $3.79 or more across the area, it’s not just individual drivers starting to feel the pinch. Laclede County Presiding Commissioner Randy Angst tells us they are keeping a close eye on the budget….

Angst said sales tax revenue is starting to look very different from the first two months of the year. Laclede County was about 11 percent above the prior year, but that has changed to about 3 percent.
