Today,
@QuintonLucasKC
is introducing an ordinance that would remove arrest warrants for low-level code violations such as parking tickets.
We should not criminalize poverty.
That’s what reforms need to be about, and that’s what we’ll continue working toward.

Last year, we sued a gun manufacturer who helped traffic illegal firearms—which were used in murders—into our city.
It subsequently went bankrupt. Then the owner applied for a new sales license, which ATF awarded in less than a month.
So we're suing ATF.

Real reform means creating alternative means of accountability for violations that previously resulted in incarceration, like parking tickets and non-moving violations—and rejecting overly punitive measures that disproportionately harm poor Kansas Citians.
In an ordinance dropping today and cosponsored by
@AndreaBough
, we are proposing creation of a KC administrative court to handle all parking tickets and non-moving violations. Importantly, incarceration would no longer be imposed in any part of the process.
