The Star reports City Hall throwing good money after bad: "Six historic houses and a hotel in the 18th and Vine District can finally be redeveloped following a Kansas City Council vote Thursday to secure the financing. The council unanimously approved up to $650,000 to secure a $1.2 million construction loan for the redevelopment, which has been in the works since 2006"

Wait a second. Why does it take $650,000 to secure a $1.2 million dollar construction loan? The lawyers that engineered this are certainly raking it in. Follow the money trail on this one everybody, someone is getting a payday!
ReplyDeleteIs this your Downtown Council at work? Did Bill and Sean work a deal?
Same old insider crap from 12th and Oak. Instead of trying to work with responsible residents in the black community to empower them and build some neighborhood cohesion, it's easier to just write a check and point to all the support you're providing for east of Troost.
ReplyDeleteIt's not broken curbs or buildings that need renovation that are killing people on the east side, it's broken lives.
But it's always the insiders who profit personally from the system that get the attention.
$500,000 for a hotel study; $300,000 for a transit analysis; $300,000 for trollies to take people to bars, and now this. How many police officers could all this pay for? And what happened to all the apocalyptic warnings about being broke during the etax campaign?
Good points, SOS.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering why the hell 18th and Vine is still having money dumped into it? The "re-vamping" of the district didn't work in the first place. Though you never heard that from the East Side. They just ignored its failure and went on to asking for other handouts.
MONEY PIT!!!
ReplyDeletemore niggers stealing money to put into their own pockets. shifty stealing nig nogs.
ReplyDeleteAll 18th and Vine needs is 20 grand to touch up the Altman "Kansas City" fake building fronts.
ReplyDeleteHow many millions have been sunk into that money pit? When I moved here in 1986 they were pumping money and they have continued to do so for the next 25 years and there's still not much to brag about. Follow the money trail - who's pocket is it in.
