The city is not ok with it, but St Louis tried, and the state took it back, even though the murder rate improved.
Republicans hate Democratic cities. Imagine if we controlled the Ozarks police force.
I don't know a federal way to solve it, but someone can call their office and ask. I was wondering if a class action case would work. It's taxation without representation.
There's a separation between state and federal governments for a reason. The state took control of the municipal police force due to infiltration from the mob resulting in some really dirty things. I suppose if that happens in the Ozarks the state would likely take control as well. Fortunately, the only mobster activity occurring in the Ozarks is on TV.
It was a long time ago! Pendergast.
They would never hold conservative towns to any standard. Come on.
KC and STL murder rates are tragic and embarrassing. State control doesn't help, nor do lax gun laws.
I’m not sure the City itself could run it better but I think an independent elected board could. I also think it could be run more efficiently generally
