A mulit-millionaire on the other side of the state gets a hankering to have the two largest cities in his state get rid of their earnings taxes and we all have to react.
He starts paying for advertising out of his own pocket, gets it on ballots and here we are, it's election day and we have to vote on it.
Never mind that he doesn't live here.
Never mind that it would wipe out two-hundred million dollars from the Kansas City operating budget.
He was bored, I imagine.
I also imagine he's a huge egotist.
But whatever. Here we are. We have to vote on this thing.
As if that isn't all odd enough, no one is quite sure how we the voters feel on it. No one is quite sure if it will get an "up" or "down" vote.
And as if THAT isn't all odd enough, even if we kill it today, we have to vote on it again, in 5 years.
Weird as it all is, folks, get out there and vote today.
Then, let's all tune in at 7 and see how it went.
