Wanna know why regional funding is necessary?
Check this article in the Lee's Summit Tribune. Basically, LS wants to add another trip on the standing-room-only route #152 but doesn't want to foot the entire bill since it makes stops in Raytown. A regional transit tax would eliminate this kind of squabbling and reduce pressure on the general fund in smaller municipalities.
