I believe there are legitimate concerns with local politicians having an equal vote on things such as public safety. How will we be shielded from City Hall raiding police funds to keep #kcstreetcar on schedule once it inevitably incurs cost over runs? We already know where City Council's priorities are.Bryan M.

If that is the case, why weren't those resources directed toward public safety before? Is it because of frustration from the politicians regarding a current lack of say in the distribution of said resources?<br />The questions to be asked are:<br />How does this make Kansas city safer?<br />Do you trust the city council to provide better oversight than the current system?<br />The police have already demonstrated themselves to be more willing to discuss pension reform/changes than the fire department. The police have already agreed to join health care systems with the city.<br />Any delay related to these actions can be linked to discussing the facts and details regarding complicated issues.<br />I have seen the performance from the council on many issues in the past. (Fire / mast consolidation). I'll take the current governance until I see an actual plan with some actual details.<br />Until then' no thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
