The sales tax and revenue, or STAR bond district, will pay down at least $1.8 billion in bond debt associated with upfront construction costs by drawing on incremental sales tax growth generated across almost all of Wyandotte County and a broad swath of Johnson County. “The district represents a diverse revenue stream that includes the cities of Kansas City, Bonner Springs, Edwardsville, Shawnee, Lenexa and Olathe,” reads a Commerce Department release . The boundaries, which Lt. Gov. David Toland set in his role as Commerce secretary, appear to be almost identical to the draft version of the map released in December 2025.

Platte City should remove Flock cameras

The way the Platte City aldermen are handling the Flock camera situation makes it seem like they are either scared to vote, unable (or unwilling) to act, or bought and paid for. They have held multiple hearings and heard from numerous citizens who oppose these cameras. Yet, three months have passed and the only thing they have voted on is implementing guardrails for using the system — almost a year after the cameras were already installed!
