It's too bad that apparently...Really good post.<br />It's too bad that apparently the only choice for KCMO residents is that the city currently wastes large amounts of e-tax money on inappropriate priorities and projects, OR the city government will cut inapporpirately if the tax is gradually repealed.<br />Such a choice pretty well summarizes KCMO government for most of its residents.<br />It has nothing to do with the people who actually live here.bill kostarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773175694027086382.post-17288426278118616922011-04-03T08:27:56.547-05:002011-04-03T08:27:56.547-05:00More bread for the Roman mob.

I really don't know how this is going ...Bob G:<br /><br />I really don't know how this is going to go. People from surrounding communities who end up surrendering 1% of their income if they work in KCMO are hoping it will be repealed.<br /><br />Others are praying it will be kept--they keep invoking DETROIT...<br /><br />It is true that the poorer/more-use of-entitlement neighborhoods seem to use more services--more ambulance calls, more fires, need more police etc than the better neighborhoods. <br /><br />It will be an interesting election for sure.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by!<br /><br />The ObserverThe Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696168395133075354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773175694027086382.post-86830465958433448402011-04-02T11:53:00.004-05:002011-04-02T11:53:00.004-05:00T.O.:
