This, and all the mandates so far, have been 100% about hospital capacity.Goonies wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 10:14 pmI saw that and the AG filed a lawsuit so months of legal battles and wasted money. I'm vaccinated I wore my mask all the time last time around this time its kind of different I don't think this will help much if the goal is to get people vaccinated. The problem with this is the people who are against getting vaccinated were also the ones who didnt follow any of the protocols last year. People from all over the midwest think like this unfortunately and alot of them will visit KC too. This simply isnt going anyway.

The St. Louis County Council overrode County Executive Sam Page's mandate 5-2 tonight. Individual businesses in the County can now decide whether or not to require masks. Sam Page is planning to sue the council for this decision.
I imagine Eric Schmitt will take aim at KC now too.

How do you get owners to stop sitting on their land? It's one thing that if someone comes up with the secret method that works it needs to be sold to the council.Goonies wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 3:37 am I dont think this will be an election issue but for Lucas 2nd term I would like to see infill downtown, more development on the eastern part of downtown (new ballpark), and developing the edges of the plaza some more with expansion of the street car going down 39th and eastside (though I understand last time this was voted against)

1. That it’s actually unused. What if someone buys the land next to them in order to maintain it as green space to enjoy?
2. That unused is the preferred state. Why would we punish someone who owns land, pays the taxes on time but can’t get a bank to loan money?
Forcing someone to sell land doesn’t work either, the land could be collateral on a loan, tied up in the courts or similar.

You can navigate to it through the city’s website.

Re: 2023 KCMO Election

Re: 2023 KCMO Election
What are you find hard? I'm using low end Obama phone and seemed easy enough. List view or calander mode.normalthings wrote: ↑Wed Sep 01, 2021 3:39 pmnew website is hard to use. Can anyone explain it to me
Calander mode if you need separation of times on that day.
If you're not on the EDGE, you're taking up TOO MUCH ROOM!

Why can't Cleaver get a law passed to end state control of local police departments? The Democrats control the House, Senate and President. I can't imagine any Democrats would be against it since it would only affect Kansas City.

Re: 2023 KCMO Election
Because there aren’t any people who have the money with a vested interest in getting it passed is my guessbeautyfromashes wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 11:22 am Why can't Cleaver get a law passed to end state control of local police departments?

Re: 2023 KCMO Election
It may be a states' rights issue. States may be the only authority with legal authority to intercede or have dominion over police or militias in their states. For example, governors are in control of the state national guard, not the president.

Re: 2023 KCMO Election
Isn’t that what happens with big political entities over time?
Re: 2023 KCMO Election
Because they're all pandering, posturing politicians.
