Lights Out?

Don't know if you caught the vignette on local TV featuring the KCMO Police Department. They are doing an outreach program with organizations in KCMO titled "Lights, Landscape, Windows". The idea is to promote steps homeowners/business owners can take to discourage and prevent burglaries. One of the quotes from the police official I found interesting was "90% of crime happens in the dark", thus promoting the use of lights on property to discourage would be bad guys. Hmmm. During this budget discussion time, Jerry continues to muse about the cost of street lights in the City, citing Platte Woods as an example. Seems contrary to the KCMO position of discouraging crime. I know, I know we are not KCMO, but isn't that the point? Safety and security have always been one of the pillars of living at WL. Lights Out?

Absolutely! More lights! After all, with energy being so cheap, why not?

How about the sewer spill! Maybe we need more lights over on Eastside to watch what KC is allowing to occur on what is becoming a regular basis

Let's see if there's any s*%t that hits the fan over the latest dump of KC poop in our lake.

I doubt it.

We have yet to see much backbone.

Is there any effort what so ever to hold KC accountable? Haven't seen any yet. Our bridge over troubled waters is now just a giant ditch leading to turdsville.

Isn't life great at WL?

Need more light shining on the Mayor's office perhaps?
