To build a dream on

Initially, I thought a recent prize for KC was an award to local thugs for pushing the murder rate to outrageous levels last year but the honor is actually for excellence in public/private partnerships. Again, I thought this referred to something like loft & condo development and all of the city's ankle grabbing but actually the award is for work done to "accelerate and improve the city'’s approach to constructing roads, buildings, storm water projects and other infrastructure." And that justdoesn't make sense at all because I haven't seen much progress on this front but then again I don't live in a loft or a condo. There are more potholes than ever in this town, all the roads are closed downtown and Country Club Kay wants you to take care of the city's storm water projects for yourself.
