The income-tax bill has been a highpiece of legislation and its potential veto override next month.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office is reporting mixed findings in its analysis of crime figures for the first six months of 2013. Compared to first half of 2012, stats compiled by the sheriff’s office from January through June show a 30 percent drop in burglaries, a 20 percent drop in assaults and a 1 percent drop in larcenies. Conversely, deputies have tracked increases in street and motorcycle gang activity in the county. “We do have some categories that have gone down significantly, particularly burglaries,” Clay County Sheriff Paul Vescovo said. “People in the sheriff’s office have been proactive in that.” By department figures, deputies have completed 1,697 car stops to date, compared to 847 by this point last year. “Our car stops have doubled, which I do feel had an impact on the lower burglary rate we’re having,” said Vescovo. “As far
Capt. Matt Hunter, Clay County Sheriff’s Office as the gang activity, we’re seeing a lot more activity here in Clay County in the area of outlaw motorcycle gangs. I think they’d been here before, but we noticed a significant presence of them since the first of the year.” A gang, according to law enforcement definition, is a group of more than three individuals dedicated to or working together to perform criminal acts. According to Capt. Matt Hunter with the sheriff’s office, there are six
nationally known outlaw motorcycle gangs, five of which have a presence in Clay County. “With outlaw motorcycle gangs, we’re not talking about motorcycle enthusiasts. These gangs are presenting themselves as outlaws. They’re criminal,” Hunter said. The attraction to Clay County has been attributed to its central location within the county and access to Interstate 29 and Interstate 35. Hunter said the presence has been felt throughout the county, particularly in and around Kearney. “We’re seeing the most that Kearney’s ever seen before,” said Hunter. “Still, Kearney is a safe community. Kearney’s got a good police department, and I think if the area law enforcement band together, we have a chance to make a difference in what we’re seeing.” Street gang activity has also increased in the first half of the year.

On loan from the National Park Service, this exhibit examines the impact that this legislation had on westward expansion in the 19th century. “By granting free land to claimants, 4 million people from five different continents filed claims on 270 million acres of land, or 10 percent of the area of the United States,” according to a press release. “An estimated 93 million U.S. residents are descendants of homesteaders.” The exhibit opening coincides with the Big Shoal Country Fair, a free event that is open to the public. Admission to the museum and the special exhibit are free Sept. 7. The museum opens early that day at 10 a.m. and will remain open throughout the fair, which closes at 4 p.m. For more information, contact Erica White, museum manager, at 423-4107 Ericaw@gladstone.mo.us.

Gladstone Dispatch A3
Patrol: Make safety part of Labor Day plans Col. Ronald Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, reminds Missouri’s travelers to make safety part of the Labor Day weekend. Replogle strongly urges the use of seat belts when traveling in any kind of vehicle and life jackets when on a Missouri lake, river or stream. In 2012, seven people were killed and 413 injured in Missouri over the Labor Day holiday in 1,086 traffic crashes. Of that total, troopers worked 201 traffic crashes, which included 144 injuries and
four of the fatalities over the 2012 Labor Day holiday. Troopers arrested 147 people for driving while intoxicated during last year’s holiday weekend. The Highway Patrol will be participating in Operation Combined Accident Reduction Effort over the Labor Day weekend. All available officers will be patrolling Missouri’s roadways enforcing Missouri’s speed limit, seat belt and alcohol laws, in addition to being available to assist motorists. Troopers throughout the state will participate in a
20-Mile Trooper operation on Friday, Aug. 30, and again on Monday, Sept. 2. This operation will include Interstates 35, 44, 55 and 70, and U.S. Highways 60 and 61. Troopers will be targeting all traffic violations and be especially vigilant of aggressive driving violations. Replogle reminds the public that the Labor Day holiday is also a busy boating weekend. Two people were injured in two boating crashes and one person drowned during the 2012 Labor Day holiday. Troopers
arrested seven people for boating while intoxicated during last year’s counting period. In an effort to increase safety on the state’s waters, all available officers will be working over the holiday weekend. Missouri’s boaters are asked to do their part by remaining alert for other boats and swimmers, and being courteous on the water. Remember: If you choose to drink alcohol, don’t operate a vessel, Col. Replogle said. A lcohol consumption slows reaction time.
Additional reminders include: • Pay attention to the boats around you and ask your passengers to assist with this. Evasive maneuvers should be made early and deliberately. • Check your vessel’s navigation lights before heading out at night, and be sure to have spare bulbs on board. • Avoid overloading your boat with too many passengers, and observe Missour i’s night t ime speed limit of 30 miles per hour on the water. “The Patrol encourages
everyone to have a safe Labor Day holiday,� Replogle said. “Please buckle up in your vehicle and wear a life jacket on or near water. If you witness criminal activity or experience an emergency — whether you’re on a highway or on the water — call the Patrol’s Emergency Report Line at 1-800-525-5555 or 55 on a cellular phone. If your celebration includes alcohol, designate someone else to drive, whether you are in your boat or your car. Please don’t become a statistic.�

Panelists: County infrastructure well placed for growth By Dale Garrison Clay County residents saw both challenges and advantages in business infrastr uct ure during the fifth Clay County Strategic Initiative meeting, held Aug. 20 in Excelsior Springs. Public and private leaders presented the state of area transportation and communications to a crowd of more than 70 people. Strengths ranging from outstanding highway and telecommunication networks were tempered by challenges that include state and national funding. Clay County’s location is a significant strength, said Lee Ann Kel l, t ra nspor tat ion project manager for the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Kansas City District. “We really do have a prime location,� she said, noting the region is within a day’s drive of nearly half of the nation’s population. Mike Chambers, AT&T’s regional director of external affairs for Northwest Missouri, said the area is also in good shape for communications infrast r uc t u re. A lt hough Google has grabbed headlines with its fiber rollout, AT&T and other providers are also expanding high-speed options dramatically. “We’ve seen a total
change of systems over the past few years,� Chambers said, citing what many are calling an IP (Internet protocol) economy. “The pace of change in this industry is almost overwhelming.� One challenge involves political gridlock, several noted. M issou r i Sen.Rya n Silvey said one example included a Senate-passed program to address state transportation needs that failed to pass the House, ending hopes for a solution this year. “It’s a serious problem,� he said. “We have to find ways to move forward.� Federal representatives agreed. Tom Salisbury from Sen. Roy Blunt’s office, Greg Razer representing Sen. Claire McCaskill and Shawna Searcy for Congressman Sam Graves noted disagreements at the national level may be more troubling. State Reps. T.J. Berry, Jon Carpenter and Noel Shull agreed. Shull said that meetings like the EDC Initiative series help. “I applaud the EDC and the move they have made with these meetings,� he said. “Presenting this kind of information is a good idea.� Other speakers included Amy Ludwig, the Missouri Department of Transportation’s administrator of aviation, and Mike Chell, business
Missouri State Sen. Ryan Silvey, holding microphone, was among the speakers at the Aug. 20 Clay County Strategic Initiative meeting. At the table with Silvey were , from left, state Reps. T.J. Berry, Jon Carpenter and Noel Shull. Initiative Co-Chair Jerry Nolte, standing, moderated the panel.

development executive in Ameren Corp. Both said Missouri and Clay County have strong foundations for job-creating development. Initiative Co-Chair Greg Canuteson stressed that point, too. “If you don’t have water, sewer and electricity, you don’t have sites,� Canuteson said. “If we don’t have shovel-ready sites, we aren’t in the game.� The September meeting will focus on higher education. That date has not been announced.
Crime: Sheriff’s office to seek more funding in 2014 “There are 25 street gangs with 180 to 190 members. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but these are going to be your criminal element, things like homicides, burglaries and larcenies,� Hunter said. “We’re finding them in our schools, and they’re coming into our jails. I can’t think of a place in the county that we haven’t had documented gang activity.� Currently, Clay County has one detective solely dedicated to monitoring gang activity in the county.
To keep the presence of gangs from becoming a major problem, the sheriff’s department is increasing its own visibility in the county. “We’ve spent quite a bit of overtime to put a strong presence including car stops and motorcycle stops to let them know we’re here. We’re being proactive,� Vescovo said. “We’re also working with the intelligence troops of the Kansas City Police Department as well as Homeland Security.� Hunter said the department had been stretching
its resources in order to contain the gang activity and would be seeking funding for additional employees in the county’s 2014 budget. “The men and women of the sheriff’s department are making the difference,� Hunter said. “Clay County is growing. We’re a major metro area, and we’re seeing the crimes you see in big cities. We’re trying to catch up with the times and put more effort into investigation aspects of law enforcement to make things better for the citizens of Clay County.�

HB 253: Bill sponsor wants ‘something good for all of us’
political subdivision that is to the contrary. Cities can adopt an ordinance or resolution that allows all-terrain vehicles or utility vehicles to operate on the streets and highways under its jurisdiction. The person operating an all-terrain or utility vehicle must maintain proof of financial responsibility or maintain any other insurance policy providing equivalent liabilit y coverage for an ATV.
Sexual offense laws get makeover
While there aren’t any newly created sexual offense laws, state legislators did make changes to the current ones. The crime of “forcible rape” was renamed “rape in the first degree” and speci f i e s that a person c o m mits the crime if he or she has sexual intercourse with an individual who is incapacitated, incapable of consent, or lacks the capacity to consent, or by the use of forcible compulsion. The crime of “forcible sodomy” was renamed “sodomy in the first degree” and specifies that a person commits the offense if he or she has deviate sexual intercourse with another person who is incapacitated, incapable of consent, or lacks the capacity to consent, or by the use of forcible compulsion. Ot her cha nges include changing the charge of “sexual assault” to “rape in the second degree” and “deviate sexual assault” to “sodomy in the second degree.”
■■ Kearney: $1,080,447 — $1,870,005 ■■ Liberty: $3,991,899 — $6,909,005 ■■ North Kansas City: $4,509,575 — $7,805,033 ■■ Smithville: $789,978 — $1,382,847 impact was not possible. He added that the bill was necessary to counteract recent tax cuts made by Kansas to attract businesses to move to that state. “If we do nothing, we are going to lose money because there will be
businesses that move. We think by putting a plan like this in place, you’ll get more business in Kansas City and have more money to spend on education and vital services. It will help expand business and to attract more business to the
state,” McCarty said. White said the represented school districts did not disagree with the principle of the bill, but its application. He would like to see a bill that fosters job growth without being detrimental to taxing jurisdictions. “House Bill 253 just doesn’t do that,” he said. Bill sponsor Rep. T.J. Berry of Kearney was also in attendance to hear the panel discussions. “As the bill sponsor, I want something good for all of us,” he said. “Both the governor and several people promoting HB 253 are telling half-truths. That’s the frustrating part.” Berry specifically cited
the governor’s comments that the General Assembly could either support HB 253 or education, but not both. “I find that horribly offensive because I support my school district,” Berry said. Berry said he expects state Republicans to pursue the override next month and that conversations like the ones had at the panel were vital to solving disputes over the bill. “I find it encouraging we can have this discussion in a civil and professional manner,” he said. “It takes working with people one on one and build trust to get anything done.”

Several new state laws went into effect Wednesday, Aug. 28, after Gov. Jay Nixon signed the legislation into law earlier this year. The Missouri State Highway Patrol offers a breakdown of some of the new laws: Abuse or neglect of a child is now a Class A felony if the child dies as a result of injuries sustained from chargeable conduct. The penalty has been increased for a moving violation or traffic offense occurring within an active emergency zone — an area visibly marked by emergency responders on or around a highway where an active e m e r gency or i nc ide nt removal is occ u r r i ng. Fines will be higher if a driver is ticketed inside this zone. It also is now a Class C misdemeanor to pass another vehicle in this zone. The law includes the creation of the new offense of endangerment of an emergency responder. Police officers now can accept either paper or electronic proof of insurance from drivers. Acceptable electronic forms include the display of electronic images on a cell phone or any other portable electronic device. No local ordinance can prohibit a driver from being in an intersection while the light is red if the driver entered the intersection during a yellow light. This provision supercedes any local law, ordinance, order, rule or regulation enacted by a county, municipality or other
The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has released projected funding losses for all districts in the state if House Bill 253 and the Marketplace Fairness Act are passed.

earlier this year. Proponents of overriding the veto — and bringing the tax cuts into effect — say the move will promote economic development in the state by reducing the maximum tax rate on personal income by 0.5 percent over a 10-year period, creating an individual income tax reduction for business income and reducing corporate income tax rates. Opponents of the bill say the cost of its implementation would outweigh the alleged benefits and reduce the state’s education funds. In his veto letter, Nixon called the bill “an ill-conceived, fiscally irresponsible experiment that would inject far-reaching uncertainty into our economy, undermine our state’s fiscal health and jeopardize basic funding for education and vital public services.” Since the governor’s action, supporters of the bill have been pushing for an override of the veto during the legislative veto session Sept. 11. To effectively override the veto, a two-thirds majority from state House of Representatives and Senate would be needed. The majority is expected to be met in the Senate,
but it is unclear if the 109 votes needed in the House are aligned. The uncertainty has led to heavy campaigning from supporters and opponents of the bill through the summer months. In his opening remarks, McCarty vocalized support for the override, saying the bill would benefit Missourians. “What we’re talking about is, should some of the growth of the state revenue be shared with taxpayers,” he said. “This is a momentous chance for use to change tax in Missouri. We think it’s too good of a chance to pass up.” Jungmann claimed that the loss in tax revenue would require the state to make budget cuts. Cuts, he said, that could reduce state allocations for education, which are already underfunded by more than $600 million. A r g u me nt s f rom both sides centered on the potential impact of the passage of the Marketplace Fairness Act. If passed into federal law, the act would trigger an additional one-half percent cut in the individual income tax rate if the HB 253 veto was overridden. Opponents of HB 253 say the act could increase the loss of state revenue to $1.2 billion. McCarty said the risk of that large of an
