You're right Reggie,. I am currently on a taskforce that meets in KCK but
is a metro-wide endeavor. This one is to develop the State Avenue corridor.
However with the plans as they stand, it will affect the entire metro area.
The State Avenue corridor starts at the 10 Maine Center and goes to the
Legends shopping center. That is just the beginning. Routes will branch
off from that and lite rail is being talked ablut also. However, the bottom
line is money. We have to pay for it and we have to entertain alternative
transportation. I guess it is too much to ask the citizen to give up the
automobile but this can work in conjunction with automobile traffic.

I agree with you that they need the money. I can't imagine what they would
do if they lost this one. However even if it passes it doesn't mean they
won't cut vital routes and raise costs for us when their contract is
renegotiated this year. This is a classic example of how once a sales tax
is approved it just keeps coming back. I know people get tired of being
taxed more and more but, bottom line, somebody has to pay for these services
and if the people who live here won't do it then we won't have any services.
Now how's that for talking out of both sides of the question. Patrick is
right though. It's very important that we vote for this if we don't want to
lose what we have.
