The timing of a crackdown on city code violations in Edwardsville has some residents crying foul. The day after the Oct. 9 City Council meeting, when several residents got up to speak against a rezoning proposal for an apartment complex at 1300 S. 94th, at least seven of the 40 signers of the petition against the apartment complex received code infraction letters from the city's codes enforcement department or Edwardsville police officers....Codes crackdown raises hackles as well as eyebrows, Jesse Truesdale, Bonner Springs Chieftan, 10/19/2006
The inventive cowardice of McCain-Feingold's suppression of political speech is nothing new of course. As this article in the Bonner Springs Chieftan makes clear, you're not any safer from having a politician tape your mouth in Kansas than you are in New York or Los Angeles. Ever vigilant is not a cliche; it's a watch phrase for citizens of a republic.
