TKC Exclusive: Jackson County Name Change Considered

This week a fight over a statue of an old, dead slaver dominated the Kansas City discourse.

However . . .

"Monumental change" takes many forms . . .

SPECIAL THANKS TO INSIDERS for sending this note our way and offering our blog community a sneak peak at the future which is quickly breaking away from the past . . .

BEHIND THE SCENES, POLITICOS CONSIDER AN EPIC NAME CHANGE FOR JACKSON COUNTY!!!

 We can only hope they keep it simple and go with our TKC blog community suggestion . . .

Bo Jackson County is PERFECT and captures a sense of fun and triumph that's missing from the political discourse.

Bo Jackson isn't just a sports hero . . . He's a cultural touchstone with a legacy that endures. 

Don't believe it . . . Behind the scenes . . . For about 5 years in the life of this blog we played the "Bo Jackson Freestyle" whilst penning the majority of our compilation posts.

But I digress . . . 

It also bears repeating that tax issues are every bit as important as culture war considerations.

Recent examples . . .

Some Jackson County homeowners seeing major increases on 2023 property tax assessments

Many in Jackson County are getting a big surprise when they open their mailbox

Jackson County homeowner shocked by property assessment increase

Jackson County homeowner Ted Wienstroer tells KSHB 41 he is shocked by the jump in his property tax assessment.

Realtor says Jackson County property tax increases will cost some people their homes

Stacy Johnson-Cosby knows the market and expected an increase in property valuations, but nothing like what many Jackson County homeowners are experiencing

Nevertheless . . . 

The point here is that names & statues inevitably change and this departure with the past might contradict the will of voters . . . But also offers locals the opportunity to write a new chapter in our history.

You decide . . .
