Way to go Kansas City, MO. Police Department!

Kansas City, Missouri is one the most dangerous cities in the Country. According to Neighborhood Scout the crime index in Kansas City is 2, where 100 is the safest. What a selling tool that is. The chances of becoming the victim of a violent crime in Kansas City are 1 in 68.

The reason I bring this up is because on my way home from work this afternoon, there were 6 Kansas City police officers, 4 cars and 2 motorcycles, running a speed trap on a one mile stretch of road. No, I didn't get a ticket. Wouldn't you think with crime statistics like what I gave you above that these guys would have more important stuff to do than write speeding tickets?

Kansas City earnings tax...

On Tuesday, Kansas City, Missouri voters will head to the polls. One of the issues on the ballot will be the earnings tax.

I don't live in Kansas City and I don't work there either, so I have no dog in this fight. But if I did, you can bet I would be voting to get rid of it. The lawmakers of Kansas City have come to rely on it so much that it is about 40% of their budget.

It's a deterrent to new business and it's a chunk of people's pay checks that could better be spent by the people earning the money instead of a bunch of politicians.

If you are a Kansas City voter, do your research, but I bet you come to the same conclusion I would. Vote to end the earnings tax...
