The last WL election had a light turnout due to the fact there were no contested City races...the turnout might have been worse had there not been a contested School Board race. So, you get what you get, right Russ?

Governed By The Few
"You can't compel people to vote", said KCMO Councilman Russ Johnson in the KC Star yesterday. He was referring to the 603 voters who applied to vote in the special election on a proposed streetcar district. Total eligible registered voters = 5,900, so about 10% will decide. So a majority of the vote will make the call on a $100 million dollar enterprise.
