Jackson County Follows Through With Lawsuit

I won’t add much to my TIF post from the other day, I just want to note and link to this Kansas City Star article about the TIF lawsuit in Jackson County. As promised in the press conference the other day by Co. Exec. Mike Sanders, the county has sued the city over the makeup of its TIF Commission. This should be an interesting case, and while much of it focuses on some narrow issues of the board’s procedures and make-up, I hope it can lead to larger debates over who should be making these decisions.
