A simple solution to accommodate the softball games would be to gate the properties. When the games are over, the Security service already hired by the Park Department could lock the parks down for the night once the game is over. Park employees, who start their job before the park officially opens, could then unlock the gates at the beginning of the day. As for making the park more secure, the police should step up their game by issuing citations when the law is broken. For more serious crimes, like discharging 100 (plus) weapons into the air (which happened at Colman Park about a year ago) take the scofflaws to jail and impound their vehicles. The Solutions Are Obvious . . . Enforce the laws as written. Other improvements we suggest include: • Shift the Curfew to ALL city parks to 9:00 o'clock at night.  • Three of Raytown’s finest parks are under siege, and our community deserve better than excuses.   We need the city's help and support to make our parks safe. This starts w...

   Raytown Report To our readers: We have not published for some time. Apparently, "Blogger" which is the software we have used since 1997 is slowly being shut down by Google.  We are looking for another provider to continue publishing the Raytown Report. As soon as we do so we will publicize it through some "friendly" Facebook pages that use frequently publish in the Raytown area. Thank you for your understanding. Greg Walters USE THIS LINK TO    Comment AND VIEW COMMENTS How will the  BY GREG WALTERS World Cup affect Raytown? In less than one month the World Cup Tournament will begin in Kansas City. Since Raytown's border is only one-half mile from the site of the games at Arrowhead Stadium I wondered how the tournament will affect Raytown. I was contacted early in this process and asked if I knew State Representatie Mike Steinmeyer. Years ago I had worked with Mr. Steinmeyer in his campaign for the Independence City Council. As it turned out he was spe...

Raytown Report RAYTOWN'S GATHERING PLACE BY PAUL LIVIUS Paul’s Rant! It has been a while since I threw my two cents worth of thoughts into what is going on up at City Hall. So I did some checking. The Mayor and Bonnaye Mims, have ramped up attacks on their two favorite targets. Morris Melloy, who ran for Alderman in Ward 3 last election and Ward 1 Alderman Greg Walters. Walters and Melloy both publish social media pages in Raytown. Alderman Greg Walters and Alderman Garth Bare founded the Raytown Report in 1997. Garth continued to work with Greg on the weekly publication until his untimely death in 1917. Morris publishes a Facebook page named Raytown Community Awareness . Both publications receive high marks for keeping the community informed with what is going on in Raytown. To Morris and Greg’s credit, both have remained true gentleman in their demeanor and handling the McDonough and Mims public attacks. For his part, Greg told me he does his best to block out the nonsense fr...
