Joe spent a fair amount of time giving the highlights, from his perspecitive, about the past year.  Regarding KCMO he mentioned KC is listening now...this was brought up in his comments about the Stream Team.  Joe mentioned the summit held in May between the City, WLIC and KCMO, likening it to "little city, little corporation and the Big City".  He mentioned it was his belief the meeting was "very productive" and "we've come a great distance.

Joe briefly described some of the activities KCMO has undertaken to improve early warning and response should a "bypass" occur.  That's the new euphenism for pee and poop and other stuff flushed into toilets that end up in our lake because of a spill/overflow. 

I'm surprised nobody asked what KCMO is doing to stop the infiltration into the sewer system which causes the spills in the first place.  Although they have promised to get right on it, nothing has been done.  Why?  $$$$$$$, big $$$$$$.  They have serious problems all over the Metro.

KCMO might be listening, and they might be better at warning us when there is a problem...but the cause of the problem lays untouched.
