A recent upgrade in the WordPress software makes it incompatible with the appearance theme I have been using for the last 4 years. There will be a lot of changes until I get the site to where I want it. The new theme is great, it lets you control almost everything, but it also makes you setup almost everything. So it may be a while in perfecting. Police were called to the area of 74th Terrace and 75th Street, today (10-29-13,) just before 3:00 PM in regard to the sounds of shots fired. When officers arrived they spoke with a witness who told them that one man had been shot and had left the scene in a private vehicle. It was then discovered that while the victim was en route to the hospital he was involved in a motor vehicle accident. The victim was transported to a local hospital and his injuries are unknown. A witness described a possible suspect vehicle as a white sports utility vehicle. The suspects are unknown at this time. Anyone with information about this, or any other, crime is asked to call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 474-TIPS. On Tuesday, November 5th, please go to the polls and vote NO on the proposed sales tax increase of 1/2 cent. This tax increase is wrong on many levels. 1. County sales tax is not the level to fund medical research. 2. Lack of over-site by elected of appointed representatives of the taxpayers. The taxpayers get one appointment, the hospitals and pharmaceuticals get 4 on the only board controlling the money that is not advisory. 3. Lack of expert over-site on a scientific level. This type of endeavor needs over-site for the taxpayers that has a knowledge base able to evaluate the requests and proposal that is more suited for a government agency like the National Institute of Health, not a local politician. 4. The taxpayer is expected to fund 100% of the overhead, yet big business will keep 80% of the profits if anything is discovered that is marketable. The proposed return on investment to the taxpayer is only 20% of the profits. 5. Food and medicine are not exempt from this sales tax. The Kansas City Star, League of Women Voters, NAACP, Kansas City Business Journal, the Diocese of Kansas City ~ St. Joseph and Freedom Inc. have all come out in opposition to this tax. Every Jackson County Mayor that has been ask to support this tax has refused. RaytownOnline.com seldom takes an editorial position, but this proposed tax is so wrong on so many levels that it required taking a stand in opposition. The good result of this proposal is that it has united liberals and conservatives in opposition to it. Michael N.

A former Raytown police officer has been charged in connection with thefts of drugs and valuables from a Raytown police evidence room, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced today. Justin M. Pool, 35, faces three felony counts of Theft of a Controlled Substance and two other felony counts of Theft of Property.* The thefts occurred in January 2013, according to court records filed today. An investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control found missing valuables, including gold jewelry and controlled substances, including pills of Oxycodone. Pool was an officer in Raytown at the time. The Raytown Police Department requested the Highway Patrol investigate after Raytown police began to suspect that thefts had occurred. Raytown police do not believe the loss of any evidence should impact any open criminal case. The thefts were accomplished by checking evidence out on the pretext of photographing the evidence, then over the counter medication was substituted for the controlled substances and other objects were substituted for the more valuable jewelry. Prosecutors requested a bond of $50,000/10 percent or secured.
