Kansas was running on fumes for a long time by not taxing. Now, this? One group of idealists were replaced with another with no more sensibility than their counterparts.

You're mistaking Kansas City, MO with Kansas City, KS. Kansas (the state) was running on fumes for a long time. Kansas (the state) also has nothing to do with this.

These are literally the first three words of the article: "Kansas City, Missouri"

Kansas the state was named after Missouri's second city. I guess they were just clever enough not to name it "Joplin"...

Tax laws for the state of Kansas have nothing to do with public transportation policy in Kansas City, Missouri.
