Re: Slate: Why St. Louis should move to Illinois

Outside of KCK/OP/PV/Leawood, I think the other KS/MO suburbs would vote to stay in their respective states. I don't get the vibe that Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, Independence or Olathe would tie themselves to the city-state. I don't know about St. Louis. I wouldn't include OP and Leawood with that...
