Alright, well I guess this transit expansion is going under the police file. I hope you like driving buses, cops.

Adding insult to injury for Kansas City, local officials will have no say in how their money gets spent by the police department—even as they are required by the state to pour more funds into it.
Missouri is a very corrupt state. Besides what you just mentioned, which is true, we also voted in an anti-gerrymandering law in 2018.
Before it could go into effect, the Conservative Party got a repeal of the law onto the ballot with very shady text to trick voters into repealing their own votes.
All we get is one seat on the state commission that runs our police, which is filled by the mayor. We are effectively powerless to regulate the police in any meaningful way.
