Jackson County Legislature unanimously approves special election to recall Frank White
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jackson County legislators voted Monday afternoon to have residents consider whether to recall Jackson County Executive Frank White Jr.
The Jackson County Legislature voted 8-0 to schedule a special election following the certification of more than 42,900 signatures seeking to recall White.
Jackson County elected officials said they’ve heard frustrated input from residents who are angry about big hikes in Jackson County property tax assessments.
In some cases, those assessments tripled, and some home owners were forced to give up their property.
