An All-American City? Yeah, if you're GOP.

Being born in Kansas City and raised in Independence Missouri, after I retired from the Air Force, I wanted to come back and live in the same town with my family. And Independence, a fine town with many things to see and do, has twice been named an All-American town. But I wonder how truly for all Americans it actually is? In the next week, the city will change bus companies, and customers have been told that more places and a longer schedule will going into effect. Right now, there's no bus between 9and 11 AM, or after 6PM, or on Sunday. And many places that recently opened, like the new arena that has concerts and the new Bass Pro Shop weren't on a bus line at all. So now, with this new company and schedule, yes you can get to the arena and Bass Pro Shop, and it runs hourly from 6AM all through the day until 6PM. But still no Sunday bus service, so want to go to a concert or a hockey game? Yes, drive or take a cab. Want to get into Kansas City and get close to home at night? Same thing, and a cab is $50 from downtown Kansas City. All-American City? Not if you're old and don't drive, or you're poor. Sounds like a GOP All-American Town to me.
