SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The Greene County Commission voted Monday to ask voters in November to approve a county use tax of 1.25 percent on items that are bought over the Internet or by mail from places out of Missouri, and for vehicles that are purchased out of state, by Greene County residents. The proposed use tax would apply the same rates to those purchases as Greene County sales taxes.
