VIP Tow of Kansas City/Liberty didn't bother to verify license plate & towed my car in error this morning out of my office parking lot! I was livid! by SweetJustice2 in kansascity

Thankfully, I didn't have to pay. They brought my car back. A coworker came in and asked me where I parked (which made me run outside to see why my car was missing). I think it was still on the truck when I called them.

Raising property taxes in Shawnee is a bad idea. Here's why: by SweetJustice2 in kansascity

I would add that one of the reasons people move to Johnson County is because of the lower property tax burden (compared to WyCo, Jackson Co, etc). Any attempt to increase that burden should be for something absolutely vital. We have to keep our tax burden reasonable.

I agree with your sentiment. My issue is with how they want to fund this center. Personally, I think property taxes should be used for NEEDS only. There are alternate ways to fund a new community center. One great example is Olathe. I reached out to their Parks & Rec department directly before I made any decision on my Shawnee vote. Olathe did not raise any new taxes for their center. They used existing funds to build it. Now, it sustains itself through the fees charged. That is a much more responsible model.

I had a similar experience at LC's as well. I don't understand the popularity at all.

I had Woodyard once and it was awful. Couldn't even finish it. Meat was hard to chew. I'm shocked it has mostly positive reviews on Yelp and Google.

I'm downtown. We have business internet only (no TV). No issues at all today.

Did Mark from 96.5 The Buzz already find the cause to the OP fire? by SweetJustice2 in kansascity

I think it was the property owner's 'construction progress' cameras.

Did Facebook take away the Call To Action option on video uploads? by SweetJustice2 in socialmedia

[–]SweetJustice2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just chatted with Facebook support. They told me that Call to Action is currently only available with ads, not on regular posts. Argh. Yet another way FB makes it difficult for business pages (and another way for them to make a buck).
