Rail plan looks for approval in November
The Kansas City Council unanimously agreed on Aug. 7 to present voters with a 3/8-cent sales tax over 25 years on the Tuesday, Nov. 4, ballot to pay for a 14 mile light rail spine.
In doing so, the council followed through on its promise to present voters with a new plan after the council deemed a November 2006 petition initiative plan unworkable even though it was approved by voters. Sounds like the city’s work is done until the November vote, right?
