•When around friends, it doesn’t hurt to ask, “Do you mind if I smoke?” especially around mealtime.

This is the least we can do, even if they take away our right to smoke in restaurants. We can be better.

Lack of services in south KC

The only services I get in south Kansas City is once a year when I get my property tax bill and my earnings tax form.

Snow removal is terrible.

The only time I see a police officer is on the local news or when I go to the South Patrol station to fill out a police report.

There is no regular bus service. My 12-mile trip for downtown jury duty took about an hour and a half.

Public meetings for input on the budget, buses and light rail seldom occur south of I-435.

If you live south of I-435, you are second class in Kansas City.
