 hey Reggie we need to go to a independent  city council meeting I have to 
shop in Independent as that is   just blocks from where I live I live  just 
a block from     Raytown city limits and   Independent  city limits.     I 
sent my friend at the  kc star a e mail to see who he suggested  we   get in 
touch with also sent a e mail to the mayor office  I have a friend or two 
their and asked if they know   people at city hall  in Independce they would 
suggest we  get a hold of.
   this is so unfair to those who can not just jump in their car and  have 
their life. it makes me angery
