| Kansas City Levee System After 29 years of allowing the Mormon Church to operate the dead Birmingham Drainage District as a taxing authority in the city, as well as the City charging residents a stormwater runoff tax, Kansas City states the truth -- it is responsible for the levee system within the city boundaries -- as the Missouri Supreme Court stated in 1923. However, Kansas City hasn't offered to refund the illegal taxes collected by the district for those years! Taxpayers are waiting for the State Auditor's report. |
