No one wrote any comments about this here or in Mark Forysthe's post. Tells you how many people in here are from the Red Bridge area.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe we're just too sick for words. Our councilman promised a better plan, and now the old "bury the park" scheme is back.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter what area you're from. The bigger story here is that, once elected, politicians do whatever they want. Councilman Sharp made certain promises which he now appears to be backtracking on.
ReplyDeleteLiving in the area or not, find me a person in Kansas City that has not been privy to the unfilled campaign promises of less steel plates covering the road like toiletpaper on a shaving wound.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that politicians do what they want once in office. They do what that teensy minority who actually calls, writes, or stops in the office, tells them to do.
But me, bitching anonymously on a blog, is doing little to effect any change. Maybe if we put some steel plates all over the roads in Brookside would the point get across.
Jim Rowland was the same way after a year in office.

ReplyDeleteYet thepaintman remains a huge douchebag. It's okay painty. Mommy can't hurt you that way anymore.
But please Tony, enlighten us as to how hispanics are affected by this. Are they not getting the contract to build the bridge. What about the hispanics? That is the real story here.
