Here is what I wrote to them for those that might want to send an email but don't know what to say....



Garden city has implemented a city ordinance that will target people that
habitually get caught driving with no license and/or no insurance. Why
can't Dodge City do the same. there is an article in the Daily Globe about
it, see it here -
DodgeCity.com: Dodge Globe: Local News: Stories



Would you believe that insurance on a vehicle for a 18 year old is more
expensive in Dodge City than it is in Manhattan? Even with more population
in Manhattan and the increased chance of an accident, the insurance premiums
are less because the insurance companies know that the drivers in Manhattan
are insured, while at the same time they know that there are many uninsured
drivers in Dodge City. Thus our insurance premiums are more expensive.

Please seriously consider creating an ordinance in Dodge City similar to the
one in Garden City.

Thank you for your time,

Terry
Ok..so then where does the local ordinance come from for him to support it?

This is my response from Rick Sowers & Terry Lee.

Subject: Newly revised traffic laws in Garden City, KS.


WICHITA -- Newly revised traffic laws in Garden City that impose mandatory jail sentences for drivers repeatedly caught without a license or insurance have spawned fears among some Hispanics in the western Kansas meatpacking town.
Hispanic leaders say the measure particularly affects illegal immigrants, because a Social Security number is required to obtain or renew a driver's license in Kansas.

State officials have said 15,000 driver's license holders got their license without a Social Security number. The Kansas Department of Revenue has also estimated that at least 160,000 Kansas drivers have no insurance. Estimates put the illegal immigrant population in Kansas at between 50,000 and 70,000.
From the Globe: DodgeCity.com

Is there a similar ordinance on track for Dodge City? I just want to know my family is protected in case of an accident! Please look into this, for your own safety and the safety of all LEGAL drivers in Dodge City!

Dear Sherry,


Thanks for your input; as far as I know there are no plans to change any traffic ordinances.


Sincerely,

Rick Sowers

Sherry, this is an excellent idea. Read the article today and personally I would have no problem supporting such a measure in the form of a local ordinance.
thanks for writing,
Terry

Couldn’t we just go to Canada or Mexico, renounce our citizenship and sneak back in?
