On Thursday, April 9, 2015, the KCMO City Council unanimously approved an updated "Vehicles for Hire" code (Ordinance 150203) that lowers fees for drivers and streamlines permitting. It also requires all such drivers to have back-ground checks and register with the city.
Uber apparently tried to destroy Mayor James' career for opposing them. We could use an honest politician with guts like his here.

As a bonus here are a few more Videos:
