"Lawyers for supporters and opponents of Kansas City’s streetcars sparred Tuesday at a hearing to determine the legality of a new taxing district that could help fund extensions to the downtown starter route.
Attorney Doug Stone, speaking on behalf of the City Council, told Jackson County Circuit Judge Marco Roldan that the proposed taxing district meets all Missouri law requirements and should be declared legal."
