Kansas City May Require Leaders Of Area Agencies And Nonprofits To Live Within City Limits

Executives at some Kansas City-area nonprofits and organizations may be asked to move to Kansas City, Missouri, under a measure passed unanimously by a Kansas City council committee Wednesday. The ordinance, proposed by Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, will require any organization receiving twenty percent or more of its annual funds from Kansas City to ensure that its director-level employees live within the city limits.

  1. Where in the constitution does it even remotely say anything about it?

  2. We need to get rid of these residency schemes, not add to it. What does this say about a city when you can only get people to live here by coercion?

  3. What’s the taxes on payroll for 24 board members? And who the hell was hired out of towners to run the jazz district?

  5. what a joke! Bet they don't do it. the courts would not uphold this. There is no reasonable rational for this requirement. It's all a joke. What idiots KCMO has in charge. Stupid voters. Stupid voters.

  6. Forcing those who live off the city to live within the city ensures more voters who support higher city spending.

  7. Haven't we learned by now that businesses have no problem picking up and moving across the state line or across the state when they feel their needs are not being met here in KC? Pay attention, it happens all the time. This city needs real leaders to step up or this really will be a ghost town. Who wants to visit a place where thugs rule and every other business is either boarded up or is a dollar store???
