Today is the day, Hannibal! Get out and vote Yes on Prop. 1

HANNIBAL — Hannibal voters will head to the polls Tuesday to decide the fate of Proposition 1, which would authorize the city to enact a sales tax of up to one-half percent for the purpose of improving public safety if approved. The vote is the culmination of more than two years of lobbying in the...

Yesterday, we celebrated the career of Captain Dan Essig. After 20 years of service, Danny will retire on October 30th. He served the Hannibal Fire Department as a great mentor to many. Danny was a dedicated member of Local 1211, often donating his time to our charitable endeavors for two decades. We will certainly miss him on shift, but wish him the very best in future endeavors! Thanks for your dedication and service!

🔥 FACT SHEET: The Real Cost of Protecting Hannibal 🔥

Over the past decade, the cost of essential firefighting gear and equipment has skyrocketed — while our budget has been stripped to the bone.

👩‍🚒 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) — the gear that keeps firefighters alive — has nearly doubled in cost.
🚒 Tools, hoses, and apparatus maintenance continue to rise every year.
💰 Yet our funding hasn’t kept pace — forcing us to stretch every dollar thinner and thinner.

This isn’t just about gear — it’s about people.
We’ve already lost staffing positions, and if funding doesn’t improve, more cuts are inevitable.
Fewer firefighters mean slower response times, increased danger, and reduced service for everyone in Hannibal.

That’s why Proposition 1 matters.
A ½-cent sales tax will support our fire and police departments — and it’s not just paid by local residents. Anyone who shops, eats, or passes through Hannibal contributes.

✅ Everyone helps share the cost.
✅ Our citizens benefit directly- from better-equipped, better-staffed, and more experienced firefighters.

Without Prop 1, the snowball of budget cuts and personnel reductions will continue — and Hannibal’s safety will pay the price.

Let’s protect those who protect us. 💪

To provide clarity and transparency, here is the proposed ballot language for Proposition 1, presented to the city council in August 2025, which outlines the intended use of funds.
