Underwhelming

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
November 3rd meeting

Duty called so I was locked in a conference room in Cincinnati about the time the BOA kicked off. Nonetheless, I have pieced together some of the highlights from two attendees and hope to talk to a 3rd today.

"I am sure that there will be much discussion about the sewage spill last week and our actions as a result."
Alderman Hoy in her agenda email to residents.

"Finally, the Mayor reported on the sewage spill situation. Joe Ennett, President of the WLIC also commented. They are working together with DNR to gather information and determine the extent of the spill and the damages. No action was taken by the BOA."
Alderman Hoy's meeting notes.

Apparently the discussion was short and benign. Action 41 News had a cameraman tape Jerry's remarks about the issue during the meeting and then 41 News vamoosed.

Lively passionate discussion? Nope. We're not going to take it any more? Nah. Jerry was quoted by News 41 as saying we had a spill 6 months ago...huh? "According to Bos, the same pump caused a spill about six months ago. They were told the problem was fixed."

Hey everybody chill, KCMO has everything under control.

We all have our property values riding on the health of the lake. So we need our leaders doing more than the same old "well let's work together with Kansas City" attitude. That has only gotten us more dirt and sewage from people who don't care. We need strong action and we're not getting it.

We can fix this problem at the ballot box. Now all we have to do is find a couple of hell-raisers to run against the spineless crew of incumbents.
