Gardner-KS Voters Attempt Recall of Unresponsive Councilpeople



A
s Kansas City-MO councilpeople and it's Mayor will realize next election- it's not wise for a politician to go against 72-percent of your constituents wishes or otherwise jack the voters around.


That's what's facing at least 2 Gardner councilpeople and would happen to even MORE Gardner councilpeople if not for a state law that says you can't throw the WHOLE council out.

According to the OLATHE (KS) NEWS- the councilpeople in jeopardy went against 72% of voters wanting the city to come to a better agreement with BN over the intermodal rail center being built southwest of Gardner.

Like I've said until I'm blue in the face- people we elect to make laws and policy- that breed known as politicians- NEED to take drug tests before taking their oaths of office.

We drug test for retail workers for Christ's Sake- wouldn't it just be A LITTLE prudent to pre-drug test politicians (see the CSW poll on the right)?
