Educate Yourself on Proposition C
Voters that head to the polls on Tuesday will not only be casting their ballots for the local primaries, but also for a state wide proposition concerning the federal government’s requirements for health insurance.  Livingston County’s voice in Jefferson City, Representative Mike Lair, says we need to educate ourselves on the issue and understand what we are voting on.  

The ballot language can be found on the Secretary of State’s website http://sos.mo.gov/

Lair says Missouri is the first state to vote on the issue, but there are 32 other states that will have similar ballot measures in up coming elections.  He says the Nation will be watching.

Also proposed, but rejected were changes at Ryan Lane and Brunswick and at Hickory and First Streets.
