Please help us. Tell your legislators
all legislation:

  • Must not be an unfunded mandate
  • Must not limit home rule
  • Must be positive for County Governments

    This is KMCA's Legislative Test.

KCJEA's Jail Lawsuit:
Filed Friday, November 7, 2008. There has been no action - no court date set. We will keep you posted.

KMCA's position on casino gaming is:
It must include a provision that guarantees revenue sharing with all 120 counties.
Or we will vigorously oppose.

The race tracks are making a case for VLT's as revenues and purses decline. Quality horses are difficult to retain and the racing schedule is being cut.


Election 2010
All elected officials will be up for re-election in 2010. All the representatives and half of the Sentors.

Constables almost "Con" us again
Legislation giving them bullet proof vests and tasers had little support. Legislation failed but a constable with a taser is uninsurable and if they are in a situation where one would need a vest, they should retreat and call 911.

Please send in your thoughts: Casino gaming is quickly turning into VLT (Video Lottery Terminals or slot machines) at race tracks only. Our stand on revenue sharing stands.
