Dude, do you have MO or JoCo tags? That's almost as bad as being black or brown in ICT, as far as being pulled over goes. It's like having Sedgwick tags in Western Kansas. Instant ticket.
It's sort of sad that we're municipally broke but at the same time Charlie Koch (who lives on/owns half of east Wichita) finds it cheaper to fund a thinktank that in turn funds anti-tax legislators who then change the tax laws in his favor than he finds it to just paying his freaking taxes.
And then there's the fact that Spirit/Boeing haven't paid any local taxes in over 20 years, to the tune of more than $100 million in missing revenue. That would, of course, eliminate the state's entire budget shortfall for this year.
In an Eagle article from last year the city basically admitted that they use tickets as revenue enhancers, by the way.
