The Lee’s Summit Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors endorsed the passage of Question 7 - Constitutional Amendment for 10 Year 3/4 cent Transportation Sales and Use Tax, which will be on the August Election Ballot.

If the measure passes, it is estimated to raise $5.6 billion over a ten year period for:

• 400 bridge projects

• a 6-lane Interstate 70 across Missouri

• 3,200 miles of road resurfacing

• 29 interchange improvements

• 7 upgrades to port facilities

• 14 railway projects

• 23 airport improvements

• 61 bike trail & sidewalk projects

Over$50millioninprojectsarespecificallyslatedfortheLee’sSummit area and include:

• improving the South 291/50 highway interchange in conjunction with the City’s $8 million contribution

• improving the I-470/Route 50 interchange

• improving the Lee’s Summit Airport

• purchasing the Rock Island Rail Line corridor from KC to Pleasant Hill with funding contributions

“Clearly Missouri’s transportation system has extensive and complex needs and Question 7 is designed to address these needs,” explained Dr. Carolyn McKnight, Chair of the Chamber Board. “A top priority of Question 7 is enhancing safety, especially on I-70. Besides improvements to I-70, Question 7 will stimulate economic development, improve deteriorated roads and bridges and provide alternative transportation systems for all Missourians. Lee’sSummitanditscitizensbenefitdirectlyifQuestion7passes. For example, we will see improvements in the South 291/50 interchange and the I-470/50 interchange. Because of the improvements we will see locally and across Missouri, the Chamber endorses Question 7.”

The Chamber encourages the citizens of Lee’s Summit to visit MoDOT’s website at modot.org/movingforward to learn more about Question 7.

Chamber Endorses Question 7 – Constitutional Amendment for a 10 Year 3/4 Cent Transportation Sales and Use Tax

Lee’s Summit and State Sales Tax Holiday is August 1-3 Parents of school-aged children in Lee’s Summit take note and get ready to save some green. The Sales Tax Holiday is just around the corner. Beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, August 1, and running through midnight Sunday, August 3, school apparel, supplies and many electronics will not be subject to city and state sales tax.

This is the seventh year that the City of Lee’s Summit will participate in the Sales Tax Holiday after the City Council overwhelmingly approved their participation in May of 2007, thereby waiving the city sales tax on those eligible back-to-school items. This means that items such as articles of clothing, supplies, computers, computer software and computer peripheral devices, and other electronic devices will receive the tax break.

For a complete listing of the items that are eligible for the sales tax exemption and the limits on certain items, check out the Missouri Department of Revenue website at http://dor.mo.gov/tax/business/sales/taxholiday/school/.

Tamashii Black Belt Academy Shares Lessons with Students in LS R-7 Extended School Year Pogram It may look like simple kicking and punching, but for students in the Lee’s Summit R-7 extended school year program, these moves are anything but simple. Kyoshi Hanson and Andrew Kreicbergs of Tamashii Black Belt Academy challenged the students not only physically, but also mentally by working on focus and attention.

“During the karate lesson students gained a tremendous senseofself-confidence,”saidKay Rader, R-7 teacher. In many areas of their lives they are struggling, but during their time with Kyoshi and Andrew they were achieving. When the students learned how to punch or kick, or even duck and jump, the level of achievement and happiness that they got was just amazing.”

Kyoshi Hanson provides karate lessons in several of the special-education classrooms in the school district year round, shares self-control and anti-bullying lessons at many schools and leads a Saturday morning adaptive karate classes at her dojo.
