Platte County Commissioners have largely been missing in action regarding BRB. A few comments in the news, nothing earthshaking, certainly nothing publicly that shows they are out front on the bridge issue. Who should be leading the charge? Betty Knight, Tom Pryor, Jim Plunkett? Answer=all three. Betty Knight is the Presiding Commissioner and the titular head of county government. Although the bridge is "owned" by KCMO, it is in Platte County and therefore affects citizens (and voters) of Platte County. Jim Plunkett is Commissioner for District 2 which boundary includes Barry Road and the bridge. Those of you who live in Weatherby Lake are in District 1 which is represented by Tom Pryor. The phone number for the County Admin office is 858-3334. I feel sure Betty, Jim and Tom would love to hear your feedback concerning the BRB.
