<p>While not all of the stated goals of the occupy movement jibe with Libertarian ideas for how to improve our economic and political problems, there is much common ground and libertarians are increasingly getting involved. For instance, this Saturday, a large group of Occupy KC demonstrators marched to Troost Park and back to Penn Valley park where the occupiers have staked their ground between the Federal Reserve and Liberty Memorial. Representatives of Liberty Restoration Project, along with KMBZ Radio personalities, Landmine Billy and Granny Major, were there to provide hotdogs, sodas, chips and candy for the marchers upon their return.</p>
<p>Also present to show support for the marchers were We Are Change KC and Young Americans for Liberty, from Lawrence. Both groups lent a hand distributing food and discussing issues with other &#8220;occupiers&#8221; throughout the evening. After sunset, LRP projected economics and liberty related videos from a small projector attached to a laptop for the edification of die-hard occupiers remaining after dark.</p>
<p>This was the second march local Occupy forces have undertaken to raise awareness for their cause to reclaim democracy from corporate and financial elites. As with the previous march on October 5, it was done in coordination with the original New York demonstration and with other local demonstrations throughout the country. This time, however, the movement reached yet further with protests taking place in the UK, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.</p>
<p>If you are not familiar with the movement, here is how the original Occupy Wall Street demonstration officially describes itself:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Occupy Wall Street is a people powered movement that began on September 17, 2011 in Liberty Square in Manhattan’s Financial District, and has spread to over 100 cities in the United States and actions in over 1,500 cities globally. #OWS is fighting back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process, and the role of Wall Street in creating an economic collapse that has caused the greatest recession in generations.The movement is inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Spain, Greece, Italy and the UK, and aims to expose how the richest 1% of people who are writing the rules of the global economy are imposing an agenda of neoliberalism and economic inequality that is foreclosing our future.</em></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">UPDATE TO THE RED LIGHT CAMERA BILL IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI</span></strong></span></p>
<p><strong></strong>Long story short, Red Light  Cameras will not be coming down this session, but if we don&#8217;t act&#8230; we  will be getting SPEED CAMERAS!!!!</p>
<div>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">It is very critical that you contact your  State Rep. and urge them to kill or change HB 430. SA 11 needs to be  removed!  Please urge them politely to do so.</span></p>
<p><strong>SPEED CAMS MAY COME TO MISSOURI!!</strong></p>
<p>Last evening(5/10/11), HB 430, the Omnibus Transportation Bill was before the Missouri Senate.</p>
<p>The following amendments are of note.</p>
<p>SA 4 proposed by Sen. Lembke, requires that all yellow times in the state confirm to no less than the minimum national engineering standard. What this does is prevent municipalities from short cycling their lights. They would now be required to set proper times. This prevents the shortening of yellows to increase ticket revenue. <strong>Prevailed</strong></p>
<p>SA 5 proposed by Lembke would have defined a moving violation as: The term “moving violation” shall also include any violation of any state law, county ordinance, or municipal ordinance governing the operation of a motor vehicle with respect to violations described in section 304.010 and sections 304.271 to 304.331. Such traffic violations shall be deemed moving violations regardless of how such violations are enforced or whether or not such violations are committed within or outside the presence of a law enforcement officer at the time of the violation; This would have ensured that tickets issued by an officer and a camera are treated to the same legal standard. <strong>Amendment Failed</strong></p>
<p>SA 6 proposed by Sen. Lembke would have added language to statute that would require the assessment of points for ALL moving violations, and it then describes by statute that the municipality has no discretion to call a Red light Camera violation a civil, no point offense. There was a roll call as follows:</p>
<p>SA 6 failed of adoption by the following vote:<br />
YEAS—Senators<br />
Crowell Cunningham Goodman Kraus Lembke Mayer Nieves Ridgeway Schaaf—9</p>
<p>NAYS—Senators<br />
Brown Callahan Chappelle-Nadal Curls Dempsey Dixon Engler Green Justus Keaveny Kehoe Lager Lamping McKenna <strong>Munzlinger(WTF?)</strong> Pearce Richard Rupp Schaefer Schmitt Stouffer Wasson Wright-Jones—23 Absent—Senators Parson Purgason—2 Absent with leave—Senators—None</p>
<p><strong>SA 13 Proposed by Sen. Schaaf was a complete Red Light Camera Ban mirroring SB16 language.</strong></p>
<p><strong>SA 13 failed of adoption by the following vote:</strong><br />
YEAS—Senators<br />
Crowell Cunningham Goodman Kraus Lager Lembke Nieves Purgason Ridgeway Rupp Schaaf Schmitt—12</p>
<p>NAYS—Senators<br />
Brown Callahan Chappelle-Nadal Curls Dempsey Engler Green Justus Keaveny Kehoe Lamping Mayer McKenna Pearce Richard Schaefer Stouffer Wasson Wright-Jones—19 Absent—Senators Dixon <strong>Munzlinger </strong> Parson—3 Absent with leave—Senators—None<br />
<em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>SA 11</strong> proposed by Sen. Greene would allow the use of speed cameras in School Zones, Construction Zones, and &#8220;TravelSafe Zones.&#8221; The Amendment prevailed and was added to SS HCS HB430, there was no roll call vote. <strong>THIS NEEDS TO BE REMOVED!</strong></span></strong></span></em></p>

<span style="font-size: medium;">It is very critical that you contact your  State Rep., as well as Tim Jones, House Floor Leader and urge them to kill or change HB 430. SA 11 needs to be  removed!  Please urge them politely to do so.</span></p>

<p>The busiest travel day of the year was designated National Opt Out  Day at airports around the US, encouraging travelers to forego going  through the full body scanning devices implemented by the TSA. The body  scanning devices reveal in full detail all of one’s bodily nooks and  crannies, but unfortunately the only other alternative in airports is a  pat-down that many are describing as intrusive and insulting, given that  it gives workers the authority to feel virtually every part of the  body, genitalia included.</p>
<p>I went up to Kansas City International Airport earlier today to get  some shots of the local opt-out advocates handing out fliers and  information at one of the terminals – Wednesday, November 24, 2010.</p>

<p>Travelers passing through Kansas City International  Airport, like at airports across the nation, have apparently opted-out  of the National Opt-Out Day protest, as the TSA reports no delays over  so-called intrusive body scans.</p>
<p>A small group of protestors did demonstrate at the airport on Wednesday,  upset over body scans that they say are an unwarranted invasion of  their privacy. The group urged passengers to cause delays by refusing  the full-body scans and instead request the more time-consuming  pat-downs instead. But the majority of travelers, like Curt McMillan,  say it&#8217;s more important to him to be safe, with as little inconvenience  as possible.</p>
<p>&#8220;Honestly I would probably choose whichever line is the shortest,&#8221; said  McMillan. &#8220;So for me, it&#8217;s really more about getting through in a timely  fashion. Certainly I understand why they&#8217;re doing it. So I&#8217;m really not  offended either way. I just want to make sure that I get through make  my flight, whichever line is the shortest that&#8217;s the one I&#8217;ll go.&#8221;</p>
<p>Protests appeared to be fizzling out at other major airports across the  nation. However, Tracy Ward, a protestor with the Liberty Restoration  Project, says that there is an outcry from the public about the airport  security body scans.</p>
<p>&#8220;The public is speaking out, saying we&#8217;ve had enough we want something  to be done about it,&#8221; said Ward. &#8220;We want the airlines to stand up and  take a stand for us as well. Privatize security for airlines. Let  passengers choose which airline to fly on as far as their security  measures.&#8221;</p>
<p>The protests may have fizzled out, and Federal officials claim they will  continue working on less invasive ways of keeping terrorist off  airliners. But the fear of travel havoc has airport managers continuing  to urge travelers to cooperate with security workers.</p>
<p>&#8220;Part of TSA&#8217;s operations is that they do things a little differently  each time,&#8221; said Kathleen Hefner of KCI. &#8220;That&#8217;s a security procedure to  keep people off-guard. What happens for one person is not going to be  the exact same thing that happens for another person. So it&#8217;s good to be  a little flexible. Expect that it might be a little different for you  compared to the person in front of you in line.&#8221;</p>

<p>The  lines of Thanksgiving travelers moved smoothly at airports around the  country Wednesday morning despite an Internet campaign to get passengers  to gum up the works on one of the busiest days of the year by refusing  full-body scans.</p>
<p>The Transportation Security Administration said  very few passengers opted out. And there were only scattered protesters  &#8212; including, presumably, a man seen walking around the Salt Lake City  airport in a skimpy, Speedo-style bathing suit, and a woman reported to  be wearing a bikini in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>After days of tough talk on  the Internet and warnings of possible delays, some passengers decided to  go to the airport especially early and were pleasantly surprised.</p>
<p>Retirees  Bill and Margaret Selfridge arrived three hours ahead of schedule at  the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport for their flight to Washington. It took  only 10 minutes to get through the checkpoint at 8 a.m.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now we get to drink a lot of coffee,&#8221; Bill Selfridge said.</p>
<p>Ruth  Billingsly, 52, showed up three hours early at the Philadelphia airport  for her trip to Los Angeles. &#8220;It was a breeze,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;m really,  really early. Maybe I should take a nap.&#8221;</p>
<p>A loosely organized  effort dubbed National Opt-Out Day planned to use fliers, T-shirts and,  in one case, a Scottish kilt to highlight what some call unnecessarily  intrusive security screenings. The screenings have been lampooned on  &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; and mocked on T-shirts, bumper stickers and  underwear emblazoned &#8220;Don&#8217;t Touch My Junk,&#8221; from a line uttered by a  traveler in San Diego who objected to a pat-down.</p>
<p>But the weather  was shaping up as a much bigger threat: A ferocious, early-season  snowstorm pummeled the Rockies, bringing whiteout conditions to parts of  the region and closing roads. It was expected to delay air travelers  and drivers in the West. Also, heavy rain was forecast in the Midwest.  And windy weather in New England could create snags.</p>
<p>More than 40  million people plan to travel over the Thanksgiving holiday, according  to AAA, with more than 1.6 million flying &#8212; a 3.5 percent increase from  last year.</p>
<p>Two protesters at the Phoenix airport held signs  decrying &#8220;porno-scans&#8221; and drew sidelong glances from some passengers  but words of support from others, who told them, &#8220;Thank you for being  here.&#8221;</p>
<p>The protesters, husband and wife Patricia Stone and John Richards of Chandler, Ariz., said the TSA has taken security too far.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just  because you buy a plane ticket doesn&#8217;t mean you have to subject  yourself to awful security measures. It&#8217;s not a waiver of your rights,&#8221;  said Stone, 44. &#8220;The TSA is security theater. They&#8217;re not protecting  us.&#8221;</p>
<p>But at security lines at the airport, one of the nation&#8217;s 10  busiest, lines were moving quickly and steadily. In fact, wait times  for security checks at major U.S. airports from San Francisco to New  York were 20 minutes or less Wednesday morning, according to the TSA,  and no serious disruptions were reported</p>
<p>Asked early Wednesday if  the protests were having any noticeable effect, TSA chief John Pistole  told The Associated Press, &#8220;Not that we&#8217;ve seen overall. I mean we&#8217;ve,  you know, had a couple of one-offs here and there.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So far, so good,&#8221; he said. &#8220;No long wait times or anything.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier  Wednesday, Pistole told ABC&#8217;s &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; that his agency is  fully staffed to deal with problems and that travelers should be  prepared for delays because of the threatened protests. For days, he has  pleaded with Thanksgiving travelers not to boycott the body scans and  delay other people.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just feel bad for the traveling public  that&#8217;s just trying to get home for the holidays,&#8221; Pistole said, noting  that TSA screeners &#8220;just want to get you through.&#8221;</p>
<p>At least some passengers brushed aside claims the screenings were needlessly intrusive and too cumbersome.</p>
<p>Greg  and Marti Hancock of Phoenix, on their way to a vacation in California,  breezed through security after going through the body scanner.</p>
<p>&#8220;It  was a day at the beach, a box of chocolates,&#8221; said Greg Hancock, 61,  who was chosen for the scanner after a golf ball marker set off the  metal detector.</p>
<p>Marti Hancock, 58, said ever since she was in the  air on Sept. 11, 2001, and thought there was a bomb on her plane, she  has been fully supportive of stringent security: &#8220;If that&#8217;s what you  have to do to keep us safe, that&#8217;s what you have to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>At  Denver International Airport, Chris Maj, a 31-year-old computer  programmer, carried a sign that read, &#8220;STOP THE TSA ASK ME HOW.&#8221; He and  three others handed pocket-size copies of the U.S. Constitution.</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re  touching breasts, they&#8217;re touching buttocks, all of these places that  if you or I were to touch, we&#8217;d go to jail,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Another  traveler, Robert Shofkom wasn&#8217;t too worried about delayed flights, maybe  just strong breezes. The 43-year-old from Georgetown, Texas, said he  planned for weeks to wear a traditional kilt &#8212; sans skivvies &#8212; to  display his outrage over body scanners and aggressive pat-downs while catching his Wednesday flight out of Austin.</p>
<p>&#8220;If  you give them an inch, they won&#8217;t just take in inch. Pretty soon you&#8217;re  getting scanned to get into a football game,&#8221; the information  technology specialist said.</p>
<p>Shofkom was disheartened when his  wife informed him Tuesday that the Austin airport doesn&#8217;t yet have body  scans. But he decided to wear the kilt anyway, in a show of solidarity  with fellow protesters.</p>
<p>One Internet-based protest group called  We Won&#8217;t Fly said hundreds of activists would go to 27 U.S. airports  Wednesday to pass out fliers with messages such as &#8220;You have the right  to say, `No radiation strip search! No groping of genitals!&#8217; Say, `I opt  out.&#8221;&#8216;</p>
<p>&#8220;If 99 percent of people normally agree to go through  scanners, we hope that falls to 95 percent,&#8221; said one organizer, George  Donnelly. &#8220;That would make it a success.&#8221;</p>
<p>If enough people opt  for a pat-down rather than a body scan, security-line delays could  quickly cascade. Full-body scans for passengers chosen at random take as  little as 10 seconds. New pat-down procedures, in which a security  agent touches a traveler&#8217;s crotch and chest, can take four minutes or  longer.</p>
<p>The full-body scanners show a person&#8217;s contours on a  computer in a private room removed from security checkpoints. But  critics say they amount to virtual strip searches. Some have complained  that the new enhanced pat-downs are humiliating and intrusive, too.</p>
<p>TSA  officials say the procedures are necessary to ward off terror attacks  like the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound plane last Christmas,  allegedly by a Nigerian man who stashed explosives in his underwear.</p>

<div><strong>KANSAS CITY, Mo. &#8212; </strong>Wednesday marks the planned  national opt-out day at U.S. airports, and several organizations are  urging people to decline the use of body scanners and help congest lines  by insisting on pat-downs by security screeners.Opt-out day was  planned for one of the busiest air travel days of the years. While the  body scanners were scaring many originally, now the pat-down procedures  are drawing a lot of attention.At Kansas City International  Airport, officials said travelers could be randomly selected for the  pat-down in all three terminals.In terminal B, which houses <a href="http://www.kctv5.com/news/25904781/detail.html#" target="_blank">Southwest</a> and Delta Airlines, the 10-second body scan is the first step. Security  officials said once that line begins to get crowded, they will start  pulling people for the traditional metal detector.</div>
<div></div>
<div>One woman said if people want to get out of line and get patted down, she&#8217;s more than happy to let them.&#8221;In  Albuquerque, there&#8217;s a lot of people that are worried about the  radiation that those might cause. If they want to do that, that&#8217;s just  fine,&#8221; traveler Cynthing Nevels said. &#8220;I&#8217;ll skip to the front of the  line and go ahead and go through it. It&#8217;ll make my traveling faster.&#8221;Others are troubled by the planned opt-out day.&#8221;I  really, truly believe it&#8217;s uncalled for,&#8221; traveler Janelle Biernbaum  said. &#8220;We need to be secure and that&#8217;s a really important thing for our  national security.&#8221;KCI officials said they are hoping for as  smooth of a travel day as possible and are trying to help ensure that by  making parking in the circle lots for drop-off and <a href="http://www.kctv5.com/news/25904781/detail.html#" target="_blank">pickup</a> just $1 for every half-hour and encouraging people not to stop in loading zones.</div>

<p>So you’re flying out of Kansas City today. Interesting.</p>
<p>It’s  one of the busiest travel days of the year. A controversy over body  searches at airports has been building. And some people are calling for a  security protest.</p>
<p>Any reason to worry?</p>
<p>Probably not, say federal officials — but arrive early all the same.</p>
<p>“We  will process people as quickly, as efficiently and as securely as  possible,” Transportation Security Administration Chief John Pistole  said Tuesday in a conference call with reporters.</p>
<p>He said he  remained concerned, however, about the potential for a large numbers of  protesters to intentionally slow screenings today.</p>
<p>An Internet  campaign has been calling on passengers to boycott the full-body  scanning machines in what is being called National Opt-Out Day. The idea  is that the extra time needed to pat down people who refuse the  scanners could cause a succession of delays throughout airports.</p>
<p>TSA  officials said 99 percent of passengers nationally chose to go through  the advanced imaging technology (AIT) machines. If screeners see  something suspicious, passengers are then subjected to enhanced  pat-downs, which some people say are overly intrusive.</p>
<p>Very few passengers require pat-downs searches, which now include the crotch and chest, officials said.</p>
<p>Kansas  City International Airport spokesman Joe McBride said KCI had received  15 to 20 questions and concerns about screening procedures on its  website since Friday, with some people saying, “I don’t want to do  this.” But he said there had been no evidence of intentional delays so  far this week.</p>
<p>“It looks routine,” he said Tuesday of the lines, estimating most were no more than five minutes long.</p>
<p>Because  today is a traditionally busy day anyway, TSA officials advise all  passengers to get to airports at least two hours ahead of their flights.</p>
<p>Indeed, Thanksgiving travel by both car and plane is expected to be up this year.</p>
<p>A protest is planned at KCI today, but it’s being done with a permit and outdoors, not within the terminals.</p>
<p>A  group associated with the Liberty Restoration Project of Kansas City  says it will gather outside Terminal B from 10 a.m. to noon as part of  the national protest against the new scanners and enhanced pat-downs.</p>
<p>McBride  noted that at KCI, the two AIT machines are only used in Terminal B by  the airport’s two busiest carriers, Southwest Airlines and Delta Air  Lines. In each instance, passengers have a 50/50 chance of getting  full-body scans. Otherwise they go through regular metal detectors.</p>
<p>People  are subject to pat-downs if they set off the machines, if screeners  detect something suspicious, or if the people decline the machine  screenings.</p>
<p>McBride doubted that many people, especially those  with nonrefundable tickets, would deliberately risk missing flights or  deliberately delay other passengers by slowing down the screening  process.</p>
<p>However, he acknowledged that if delays occurred at other  airports, such as in Chicago or Denver, it could have a “domino effect”  on flights into Kansas City.</p>
<p>A new Washington Post-ABC News poll  shows that about two-thirds of Americans support the full-body scanners  to increase security but that about half the 514 adults said the more  rigorous pat-downs go too far.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, Pistole  essentially pleaded with Thanksgiving travelers not to boycott the  scanners, which could snarl what is already the fourth-busiest traveling  day of the year. The Sunday after Thanksgiving is the busiest day.</p>
<p>“It  is irresponsible for a group to suggest travelers opt out of the very  screening that may prevent an attack using nonmetallic explosives,” he  said in a statement. “This technology is not only safe, it’s vital to  aviation security and a critical measure to thwart potential terrorist  attacks.”</p>
<p>Pistole said his agency welcomed “feedback and comments  on the screening procedures from the traveling public, and we will work  to make them as minimally invasive as possible while still providing the  security that the American people want and deserve.”</p>
<p>Pistole said  in Tuesday’s conference call that the agency had received about 2,000  complaints about either the body scanners or the enhanced pat-downs.</p>
<p>Mike  Right, an AAA spokesman from St. Louis, said Tuesday he traveled  throughout six airports last week and noticed security screenings were  taking longer.</p>
<p>“It was intrusive, to say the least,” he said of the pat-downs. “They shimmy up your legs.”</p>
<p>Passenger  advocate Kate Hanni, director of FlyersRights.org, said it was time for  passengers nationally to “send a message that the TSA has gone to far”  in violating the privacy rights of travelers.</p>
<p>Hanni said her  organization recently received 1,000 complaints a day over the scanning  devices and pat-downs, and some people were canceling their travel. She  was advising others to opt out of the scanners and request a private  room for a pat-down, with a witness.</p>
<p>The Business Travel  Coalition, which represents corporate travel managers, is criticizing  both the TSA and groups that were calling for a boycott.</p>
<p>In a  news release, the group said protesters had effectively raised awareness  about “intrusive and sometimes wasteful TSA security processes.” But it  also said that for the safety and security of the public, these groups  should cancel their boycott and redirect their efforts toward a  “complete review of the TSA.”</p>
<p>David Castelveter, vice president of  communications for the Air Transport Association, which represents  leading U.S. airlines, said its members were hearing from customers both  for and against the new procedures.</p>
<p>He said some people  considered the new pat-downs excessive, but most of them hadn’t  undergone one. The majority of people, he said, think that if the  procedures ensure that every passenger on a plane has had a thorough  screening, “we’re OK with that.”</p>
<p>Despite all the hassles of  traveling, Right said AAA was projecting a 3.5 percent increase in air  travel nationally over the Thanksgiving holiday, and a 12 percent  increase in people traveling by car 50 or more miles from home, over  last year.</p>
<p>KCI projects about 350,000 more passengers, a 4 percent  increase, during the 12-day period that began last Friday and concludes  Nov. 30.</p>
<p>Right attributed the increase to a moderately improved  economy and the fact that people felt a little more secure in their  personal financial situations this year versus last.</p>
<p>“It’s hard to miss Grandma’s house two years in a row,” he said.</p>
<hr />
<div><strong>From the TSA blog </strong><br />
<strong>•Children</strong>. TSA officers are trained to work with  parents to ensure a respectful screening process for the entire family.  Children 12 and younger who require extra screening will receive  modified pat-downs.<strong>•Adults</strong>. Only passengers who  alarm walk-through metal detectors or AIT machines, or who opt out of  the AITs, receive pat-downs. For this reason it is designed to be  thorough to detect potential threats and keep the public safe. Pat-downs  are performed by same-gender officers, and all passengers have the  right to a private screening with a travel companion at any time.</p>
<p><strong>•Exemptions</strong>.  No one is exempt. Everyone is subject to the same screening. TSA says  it is sensitive to religious and cultural needs, but everyone must be  screened effectively.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For 12 years now, we&#8217;ve lived a quiet life in our neighborhood. That was  until gang violence and activity started occurring back in April. There  were several evenings when gunfire would occur and during the day, the  gangs would take over the streets playing basketball in the middle of  the road, intimidating the elderly women when they were trying to get  home, not moving out of the streets for drivers, etc. Everything came to  a head on Memorial Day weekend and more than 50 shots were fired  between several gang members. There were several people who called the  cops. When the cops came out, they seemed indifferent about the  situation until they saw all the shell casings. Cars were hit, houses  were hit, outdoor sheds were hit, but thankfully no person was injured. I  decided that was enough. We had to come together as a neighborhood and  do something about the recent outbreaks in violence.</p>
<p><a name="more"></a></p>
<p>I  started going door to door and asking the neighbors how they felt about  the recent activity. Some were didn&#8217;t seem bothered and others were  very scared. I decided to get try and have a neighborhood meeting. I  made a flier for it, Chris decided to make hotdogs for those who showed  up, and we had our first meeting in June. Since the police are  overwhelmed, we decided to try to take matters into our own hands. We  found out who owned the property of the home where the violence kept  erupting and spoke to the landlord about the recent events. He evicted  them by the end of June. Mostly, the neighborhood has been quiet since  and we have talked to the landlords of the other vacant properties in  our area to let them know that we care about the people who move in here  and we want to keep our neighborhood safe.</p>
<p>Another issue that  was brought to my attention at the meeting was the fact that the alley  way in between our two subdivisions was completely overgrown. The  neighbors stated that they had individually called the city numerous  times in the last three years without any action being taken. The city  claimed they didn&#8217;t know who owned the property. We decided that we were  going to take matters into our own hands, once again, and clean up the  alley way ourselves on the second weekend in September. We did just that  this weekend! There were at least 20 neighbors and others in the city  who came to help out this weekend and get the alley way under control.  It looks fantastic!! It&#8217;s amazing what people can do when they work  towards a solution to their problems, together.</p>
<p>Special thanks to all who came out and put their boots on the ground to help out this little niche in Kansas City!!</p>
