Citizens dissatisfied with the way their trash is collected may be more likely to move than citizens happy with the way such public services are performed, a KU associate professor says.
Elaine B. Sharp, associate professor of political science, conducted a study of 2,200 Kansas City, Mo., residents two years ago to find out who requested public services and who complained more than others.
Sharp presents the results of her
Almost one-fifth of residents surveyed said they probably would move soon. Of those, one in three said poor city services were a "very important factor" in the decision.

"At this convention, the panel I'm participating in will focus on mobility and public services," she said
The idea that people "vote with their feet" by moving where they are satisfied with the local government in a newspaper article by political scientist Tie Bout.
Research has shown people who move long distances usually do so because they have changed jobs, Sharp said.
Sharp said,
"There are many within metropolitan areas who do not change jobs, maybe moving from one suburb to another," she said. "Those moves are based on tastes."

"I'm arguing here that these short moves are influenced by the quality of public services."

Sharp said she wanted to discover whether the exit option tempted people to bypass political participation, the voice option.
"The answer was 'sort of no,' " she said.
"THEER IS NO evidence that mobility diminishes the effect on community participation." Sharp said, "The people who were having just as active. They were no leavening without doing something first.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THROWS UP ANOTHER SMOKE SCREEN
"Enterprise zones" which were conceived to encourage investment in economically distressed areas, have become devices with which to stimulate investment in any designated area by according the businesses and industries which locate therein some tax breaks and regulatory relief. This is why comfortable community like Lawrence has several "enterprise zones" and Mr. Toebben can be described by the August 12th Journal World as admitting that "Before Kohiman Systems Research, Inc. announced its plans to expand in the proposed University Corporate Research Park, company officials considered the tax incentives available because of the park's location in an "enterprise zone".
In many an enjoyable discourse with Chamber of Commerce notables Toobben, Whitenight and Myers, I've claimed that the vital work without which this country cannot remain free is in the public sector. Because each of these distinguished gentlemen thinks an active private sector is the conclusive answer to our national woes, they consider the "enterprise zone" an expression of progress.
Some local victims of this governmental discrimination are those Lawrenicians in need of a public transportation system who must instead tolerate a new airport terminal; those Lawrenaires forced to endure, tolerate an excessive and verbal abuse while the police often misledly dodge the disruptive; and those now dependent Lawrenaries who suffer neglect and abuse in many privately-owned nursing homes while the 'free enterprise' mechanism continues to financially reward the parasites responsible for these deplorable practices.
By relying on the private sector for jobs when the work that must be done is in the public sector, our ponderous government maintains the myth that 'free enterprise' can overcome any obstacle. Thus the problems themselves, which are rooted in the way this country distributes power and defines work, continue to mount
Capitalism was designed to liberate and reward the enterprising individual. When competing governmental units from all over the country use public funds to try and corral established corporate entities and hence broaden their respective tax bases, the enterprising individual is often lost in the rush.
