Kansas City Police Board Prez Tolbert Answers Mayor Q's Lawsuit

Across the nation today Mayor Q is making news for his police funding lawsuit

However . . .

This statement from a local leader and a potential political challenger offers an important alternative perspective . . . 

Without any more commentary, here's the word . . . 

Statement of Mark Tolbert, President of the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners

The Board has just been made aware of the Mayor’s lawsuit, which appears to be another attempt to reduce funding for police in Kansas City. Funding of the Kansas City Police Department is an important issue that should be left to the voters in November. This lawsuit, however, does nothing to make our City safer and ignores the critical need for leaders to come to the table and solve problems. Regardless, the Board and the Police Department remain focused on working with City leadership to make our City a safe place to live.
