increased sales tax in midtown does not affect 2n kenn living in a split level next to the metro north mall parking lot.
how does this even make sense to you? sales taxes have nothing to do with where you live.
there are plenty of kcmo residents who work within the new TDD on the plaza and spend a lot of time and money there, they're affected by tax increases in the highest taxed district in the metro. let alone the KCMO residents who chose to visit the area because, you know, it's a shopping mall where people from across KCMO spend money, doing shopping, paying taxes.
the streets that these people paid for are being torn up and they'll be rerouted, they should have a say in that too.
pick and choose your arguments, split hairs, ignore reality, it's the slying way.
