I try to read the KC Star every morning. In the past month three themes are inescapable in regards to local news. One, the budget crunch in KC MO has forced the council to make tough choices to reduce a $70 million shortfall. The infrastructure, water(2) and sewer(3) in particular, will require major improvements. Good thing we don't live there, right? (We (our family) are refugees from the Brookside area of KC MO, so we can speak with some authority of life in the big city.) To quote Jerry Bos at the Candidates Forum this past week, "Life is good at Weatherby Lake". Amen. Jerry also mentioned in his door to door campaigning some citizens have raised concerns over the current cost of water and sewer here at WL. Where do we get our water and who treats our sewage? See above, KC MO. Are there alternatives? Yes, but none very likely. Will our bills for water and sewer go up? Absolutely, positively. Is the city engaged in discussions with KC MO? Mayor York and Public Works Director George Lowman are. The aldermen? Excellent question...why don't you ask them?
Budget, water, sewer, we have the same challeges here at WL. We are in the home stretch of the spring campaign season. Long range planning and promises are great. What are the specifics your favorite candidate can give to insure Life is good at Weatherby Lake?
