In Platte County Government 101 (link fixed-thanks Andrew Freese), we learned how Platte County is legally chartered by the state of Missouri. In this installment, we will learn a little bit more about the County Commission. In 12 days, some of those of you voting in the Republican primary who live in part of the County will have two choices. The other half won't. What part of the county will have 2 choices?
Those of you in Commission District 1, aka the "South" district will be choosing between Commissioner Kathy Dusenberry and Weatherby Lake resident Beverlee Roper. Duane Soper is unopposed in Commission District 2, aka the "North" district.
Where are the dividing lines? The images below show the boundary lines. The 1st District is in the blue and the 2nd District is in the olive. In general, everything south of Barry Road and slightly west of Mace Road is in the 1st District. Everything south of 73rd and 72nd Street except for Platte Woods is in the 1st also.
Entire County PDF is on the Platte County Planning and Zoning Department website.
The link to 101 is broke. Here's a working url: http://www.linecreekloudmouth.com/blog/2012/04/platte-county-government-101.html

Hey Wes...always good info. I was curious what your thoughts were on the whole Google Fiber thing. I was elated, then distraught to find out that the Northland was left out. Doubt it will influence anything since I'm sure it is solely economics (potential subscribers/block) but someone started a petition. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/google-fiber-for-kansas-city-northland-kcmo/
