League of Women Voters of Southwest Missouri to Host Public Forum on Senate Bill 3

The League of Women Voters of Southwest Missouri invites the community to a public forum to learn about and discuss the potential impacts of Senate Bill 3 on services in Christian County if the measure is approved by voters in April.

This discussion will focus on how the proposed legislation could affect local tax districts and the services they support. “Senate Bill 3, if passed in April, will have an impact on our tax districts throughout Christian County,” said Anna Evans, Vice President of Show Me Christian County.

“We want to help voters understand what that impact could be before they head to the polls on April 7.”

Thursday, March 26

6:00 PM

Life Science Center Building, Room 214

OTC–Richwood Valley Campus - Parking available in Lot A

The forum will feature a panel of local leaders who will share perspectives on how Senate Bill 3 may affect community services and public resources in Christian County.

Panelists include:

● Andrea Swope, Executive Director, Christian County Links

● Lloyd Walles, Chief, Nixa Fire Protection District

● Dr. Lori Wilson, Superintendent, Ozark Public Schools

● Anna Evans, Vice President, Show Me Christian County Economic Development

Community members are encouraged to attend, learn more about the proposal, and engage in an informed conversation ahead of the April election.
