The Star just ran a piece, "Dips in KC traffic citations draws concerns about safety, revenues". KCMO City Manager Troy Schulte asked, "Why are we writing so few tickets?" referring in the downward trend of citations over the past two years. The PD response? "We are doing other things and we are trying to be a kinder, gentler police department". Schulte's reply, "But I'm just concerned about long-term traffic safety".
Ticket revenue at WL is not huge...but, reasonable speed control, especially on Eastside, Westside and Potomac is important. Maybe Alderman Clark is on to something?

A recycle bin was delivered last week which was not ordered nor is it wanted. Seems many, many people had recycle bins dumped in their yard. Looked closer at our bill and our service has been increased by $8.04. Called Republic and was told it was for recycling. Attempt at forced recycling? Told Republic to pick it up and they agreed to credit $8.04 and revert bill to original non-recycling charge. Someone's up to something.
