The jobs thing is not a joke. There are multitude of actual examples in other states that prove you wrong. Certainly the sales tax issue isn't incorrect. Kansas would win and Missouri would lose. I understand the emotional response but doing something wrong for 75 years is no reason to just continue it. Thanks for reading.

Ultimately its profits (and WHERE those profits end up) versus consumer needs. The whole "jobs" thing is really a joke. Big Box stores will put mom and pops out of business. 'Nuff said. Here in Johnson county I don't really feel inconvienced by having to visit a liquor store. In the end I am siding with the our local stores on this one. I think we have seen enough money head to Bentonville, AR.tom gnoreply@blogger.com
