“Butler County Sheriff’s Department to lay off custodian, four deputies”

You saw the recent headlines of layoffs of local law enforcement officials in the Butler County Sheriff’s Department. Without your help on Tuesday, future headlines will be about layoffs impacting public safety and other city services in Poplar Bluff.

You can prevent this from happening by voting YES for the Use Tax.

This is not only about fairness to local businesses – it is about keeping our community safe and maintaining our quality of life.

The choice is up to Poplar Bluff Voters – Use Tax or Layoffs

Mark Dobbs - Sheriff
