Raytown voters did it on Tuesday.
They defied difficult economic times -- and once again stomped on the unfair stereotype of Raytown as a backward city.
The voters approved a half-cent sales tax for public safety. It will raise $1.1 million a year.
In recent years Raytown also has endorsed new sales taxes for better roads and parks.
Now Mayor David Bower and other city officials must use the new sales-tax revenue as they promised voters.
That especially means hiring new police officers and a criminal analyst to help Raytown battle crime.

On the Other Hand.....
Kearney voters said no to yet another bond issue for astroturf fields and a separate practice gym.
The gall of some school boards asking for funding on this type of waste is utterly amazing.
