This observation comes from our crack St. Louis County reporter Paul Hampel:

Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Mike Gibbons, R-Kirkwood, has two campaign signs in his yard supporting candidates for the Kirkwood School Board. And neither one of them are for Dan Sullivan or Tom Haenni, who support Gibbons’ Senate Bill 711, which would prohibit taxing jurisdictions from reaping windfall profits from property tax reassessments.

Instead, Gibbons has signs for incumbents Scott Stream and Ruth Jayne, both of whom were on the school board when it voted unanimously in August in favor of a tax rate that led to a $3 million windfall for the school district.

Since last year, Gibbons has lambasted public officials — mostly administrators with St. Louis County government — who did not vote for rollbacks that would offset windfalls.
