Business Journal editor Brian Kaberline has a new editorial calling for the dissolution Jackson County, arguing that the entrenched corruption and cronyism is holding back the progress of the county and endangering important endeavors like the future of professional sports in KC.
On the other hand, there’s no shortage of examples of county officials bickering, battling, trading accusations, being investigated, answering allegations of misdeeds and generally showing the governmental effectiveness of a junior high student council.
Business Journal: Jackson County government deserves dissolution
“… generally showing the governmental effectiveness of a junior high student council.” The writer of this statement owes an apology to many well run junior high student councils.

KCMO Animal Control was contacted today to report a half dozen stray cats
living in an abandoned house @ 11 West 78th Street KCMO.
According to the Customer Service Counter @ KCMO Animal Control, “there is
no leash-law for cats in KCMO so, there is nothing KCMO Animal Control can
do about it” (ferrel cats). When asked what about the potential health risk to
the community posed by these animals who eat disease caring rodents, the
response was, “they do not actually eat the rodents but they carry it to
the trash.” I suggested that I have never personally witnessed a stay cat
carry a dead rat to the trash. “Well they don’t actually carry the dead
rat to the trash, they eat the trash.” “Thank you – you have been very
helpful.”
