There is a vote coming up in Kansas City, believe it or not. I am not attuned to politics in April. March fits in my rhythm, from my days in Vermont and the tradition of Town Meeting Day on the first Tuesday of March. So, on the day after April Fool's, we will be having some voting. Hickman Mills, Raytown and Grandview school districts will vote in some School Board members and three questions are up for all to vote on. Link
to sample ballot right here.
So far, I have received these two mailers. Has anyone else gotten anything? They're pretty big and ornate!

Tony's Kansas City has been on top of the health levy tax--revealing the rather large salaries of execs of Truman Medical Center and Swope Health Center--
here is his latest post on the matter.
I would hate to do it at the expense of people who need help, but the folks at City Hall need to be reminded that they are accountable for the taxes they collect and how those monies are spent. I would have preferred the message be sent with a defeat of the zoo tax or the street car tax. Those opportunities passed us by and now we are left with the unpleasant choice of sending a "no more tax" message that may have some grave affects on people or allowing a political body the luxury of thinking that the electorate will pay for anything.
