friends to vote. 911 call center funding is going to get
critical. In the future it could be as bad as the jail.
We ALL should be talking to our legislative candidates
now. After the election, it is too late.
This Legislative Session is
over and next one is already being planned. We must have your
input, please come to our next Association Membership Meeting

KMCA's revised position on
Constables:
KMCA has reviewed its position on constables. Constables
are fee officers - if they are collecting fees for any
services, that money should be turned over to the county. If
they currently do not have a salary established, it must
be established by the first Monday in May of the year of
election, which has already passed for this term. This
association does not encourage counties to compensate
constables. Most counties don't.
Please help us. Tell
your legislators all legislation:

the jail. Make sure that there is not excessive money in that
