Looks like we have one of our Alderman that is a hypocrite. Public records indicate that they were elected and voted for several months without having their taxes ever paid. I guess if you don't run against ryan myers. You're okay to get away with whatever.

I've said it for years right down has all kinds of problems in the parks. It doesn't matter if it's Coleman, Kenagy, or Khrisler. the problems are the same. The locations just change. We all know the story of the fourth of July and how the police and our former police officer now mayor decided to look the other way as individuals were allowed to vandilate and violate Kritser park. This past sunday, in the late afternoon, I was driving down Westridge and 75th. As I neared the park, I passed one of raytown's police, who was out on patrol, but that's about where it ended. You see down at the shelter house on the corner of Westridge and 75th, where the park is there was quite the party, and it's nice to see the park is being utilized. However, when that utilization turns to vandalism or failure just to follow the basic rules all of us taxpayers need a question last April if giving the park board more money was it really the right thing. There was a bouncy house, which is clearly against park rules. This brings into question the capabilities or capacities of that police officer that drove past and turned a blind eye. What's more concerning than the bouncy house was the fact that someone was out driving up and down on the grass on a four wheeler. That's a new one I didn't know was allowed. The park department has allowed a few to destroy the parks, but again it is Khrisler park, and the mayor set the stage in July. Along with his, fine professional police department that they will turn a blind eye to the behavior at the park regardless of the damage, it causes regardless of the policies, they break.

Anyone else unhappy with the conditions and the abuse on our parks allowed by a former police officer who thinks now that he was elected mayor has the wisdom of the great gods.

It is no surprise that we keep hearing there is a bully problem within the Raytown School District when after all, the biggest bully in Raytown is our mayor.

Any group that is not wanting to talk about problems is just validity they have the problem and refuse to deal with in.

In Raytown it could bed the Mayor breaking 79.240 or the School Board regarding bullies. Don't forget the School Board has one member on table attacking a teacher. The School District also is tied to gun violence and no metal detectors as those bring into question if the murder of a student recently was tied to Bullying.

Is the city going to overlay any streets this year or is it true that the money was spent defending the mayor's inability to follow state law.

I understand state law is very clear to serve on a city committee. One that is appointed by the mayor those individuals must reside within that city has come to light. That we have several on a committee that are using addresses of businesses within retail, one of which research indicates that the individual lives in blue springs. How many laws is the mayor trying to break.

Today's question is in regards to the recent game, and win of the kansas city chiefs. the professionals selected to answer this question are Aldermen Azier, Mims, and Emerson from the city of Raytown.

Today is Monday the day after the election. Are the people of Las Angeles able to demand the final score of the game for the recertified, indicating that the chargers won the game?

If no, can you explain why you didn't do your duty to certify the vote regarding alderman, Thomas?

If yes, we all want to know how it can be done?

Fireworks Reminder / Raytown Report History

Reminder: Fireworks Vote This Tuesday The Raytown Board of Aldermen will decide the fate of legislation permitting the sale and shooting of fireworks in Raytown at its regulare meeting this Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. at Raytown City Hall. This is an open public meeting. Individuals who may wish to address the Board on the proposed legislation may address the Board of Aldermen at the beginning of the meeting during Public Comments. The Raytown Report – A History In 1997 former Raytown Alderman Garth Bare and I started a project we called the Raytown Reporter. I had just been defeated in a bid for re-election to the Board (I had lost by three votes – believe me, that sets your mind to second guessing “what if”. . . but that’s another story) but still wanted to keep in touch with what was going on Raytown City Hall. So we founded the Raytown Reporter. It was truly a labor love. The format was that of an electronic newspaper. We wrote stories, editorials, had a lively Letters to the Editor ...

The Little Guy with the Hammer

The Mayor and five members of the Raytown Board of Aldermen (Schlapia, Hamilton, Riehle, Creamer, Ertz) have sponsored a bill to replace the city’s logo with a new design. Most people will not get too excited about that event one way or another. But the way they are going about it – and what they have designed to replace the black smith pounding an anvil with his hammer leaves a lot to be desired. To be fair, the readers should know that I am partial on this debate. I like the little guy with the hammer logo. It speaks to a small part of history in Raytown that harkens back to the days of the Santa Fe Trail and a blacksmith shop owned by a man named William Ray. The location of that shop is commemorated by a plaque located at 63rd Street and Old Raytown Road, the geographic center of what is now Downtown Raytown. It is also at the center of the city when it was first incorporated. (Raytown annexed additional land in later years to reach its current size) True, the logo is old fashion...
