County’s proposed new government, ending townships adamantly opposed
Hostilities boiled over in Lindsay over the proposed elimination of township boards.
Approximately 35 people attended a meeting March 24 in the Lindsay Town Hall as members of the Platte County Board of Supervisors and highway department gathered to discuss the resolution that changes the form of county government from supervisors to commissioners and ends township boards. The highway department would then take over the maintenance of all county roads.
