TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! BEHIND THE SCENES: DID THE PARKS BOARD KILL LEGISLATION ATTEMPTING TO MAKE NORTHEAST KANSAS CITY SAFER?!?



A discussion of violence and homicide in Kansas City is incomplete without reviewing recent legislation aimed at curbing crime.

Sadly, Mayor and Council have offered a great deal of talk and promises on the subject of curbing the Kansas City murder rate but it's worth nothing that most of their legislative efforts are focused on taxpayer giveaways, raising taxes and the toy train streetcar.

Representing Northeast Kansas City, Missouri House Rep. John Rizzo started his career with a bevy of legislation aimed to address public safety issues in his district and throughout Kansas City.



In particular, his bill HB 1360 was an important effort to control prostitution, drugs and violent crime in local parks.

Language from Rep. Rizzo's bill: "Authorizes the Kansas City Chief of Police to determine whether city parks should remain open between specified times in the interest of public safety"

Now . . .

BEHIND THE SCENES WE HEAR THAT THE BILL WOULD HAVE HELPED KEEP KANSAS CITY PARKS SAFER BUT WAS SHUT DOWN BY THE PARKS BOARD BECAUSE IT THREATENED THEIR CONTROL!!!

Rep. Rizzo didn't want to speak to the controversy directly but he did tout the merits of his bill . . .

"It was basically another tool for law enforcement to use in order to address ongoing dangerous situations. I listened to my constituents and this is something they wanted. Unfortunately, loitering, drug dealing and prostitution are commonplace in some Northeast parks and I thought this was an effective way to address that problem," MO House Rep. Rizzo said.

Fast forward to last week's spate of local homicide, violence and GROWING COMPLAINTS about the Northeast Budd Park Battlefield.

And so . . .

INSIDERS ARE ASKING IF THE LUST FOR POWER FROM THE KANSAS CITY PARKS BOARD HAS PREVENTED LEGISLATIVE PROGRESS AIMED AT CURBING LOCAL VIOLENCE!!!



Just now an insider close to the Kansas City Parks Board offered us a bit of perspective.

"Parks has succumbed to the same flaws as Mayor Sly James. They only want positive press. They seem to think that smiling in front of cameras will solve all of their problems and this legislation threatened not only their image but also their authority."

What have we learned from this Northeast Kansas City kerfuffle?

On the bright side, it's important to realize that there are steps that Kansas City elected officials can take to address violent crime beyond making speeches.

Sadly, it's a shame that political turf wars waged by some members of the Parks Board dictate anti-violence legislation rather than concern for the safety of residents.

  8. Good for Rizzo for bringing it forth. Fight harder Rizzo - especially if this is what your constituents want. I'd never heard of this. Get the issues out and we have to put pressure on them. They have to do more than pose for pictures and play with toy trains. Damn Tony you trying to be a real newsie or something?

  9. The only downside I can think of to this is that the liberty folks are going to cry that the cops have too much power to abuse when they try to kick the troublemakers out of the park. That ought to be fun to sort out. Someone will have to grow a pair to enforce it.

  12. Jesse Jackson thinks the streets of Chicogo should be patrolled by by the federal government.

    LMAO--He wants the Feds to patrol the streets to control the African American sub culture. The guidon of a movement so bereft of any redeeming value wants the Feds to fix his fuck up, and then, no doubt when African Americans are stopped and searched, or arrested, he will scream RACISM!!

    Chicago will no longer respond immediately to burgluaries and car thefts.

    One day, in an America run by the Roman Mob, we will all look up and see ourselves in some Bullshit lying commercial about "Out Town Kansas City" coming back, you know, like the commercial about Detroit.

    Bullshit.

    Every Urban Center in the United Stats of America, has been, is now and will continue to go down the fuckin rat hole when the demographics change to "Protected Class" citizens who use fucks like Jesse Jackson and "Community Leaders", Reverends et al to scream about crime and economic destruction, while at the same time enacting laws that promote that same destruction and inhibiting the laws which would curtail that same destruction.

  13. The Park Board is about PR not being safe look at the numbers around Budd Park.

  14. Jesse Jackson and that stupid fucking nigger Al Sharpton are the two biggest racists in the country, and have done nothing to help the good people of the black community, all these black on black shootings, all these niggers killing each other has a profound effect on all citizens of the KC metro, it effects the productivity of the police, and by the way the police are there for everyone not just for murders, it takes a lot of police resources to investigate just one murder, and we are taking about several murders in one day. and when the police need more money taxes have to go up.let me guess not a whole lot of tax revenue coming out of the Budd park area, it affects property value, oh ya that effects the city tax revenue, oh ya no one wants to pay more , well have to cut the police, and this is just scratching the the surface of the this problem. the problem is quite big, its more than just dead niggers in the street, if you the people of the areas of the city directly affected by these shootings, you can not rely on the police, not that you will talk to them any ways, you must stand up and do something, and i mean do something, not just getting on TV when the next time there is a shooting and saying " that this has to stop" like rally, organize, come up with ideas and solutions. don't you think it really is time for this shit to stop. and don't call those 2 stupid niggers jj and al

    No co-sponsors? Any serious legislation has bipartisan support and is not filed one month into session.

  17. It needs to include stop and frisk and identify and arrest in the bill.

  18. Tony, next time you promote the son of your mother's patron, read the bill and think about the ramifications of it. The park closure us, basically, an afterthought in what is really a bill designed to get around state control. If local control us what you are after (not a bad thing) promote it as such.

  19. Vilification without facts. Way to trash a bunch of people without any evidence, Tony. And I'll point out that these people all VOLUNTEER their time to make their city better. Not quite the same as sitting on your lazy ass in your mom's basement jerking off.

  20. and those volunteers are doing such a great job...

    ReplyDelete
  21. And what are you doing exactly? Besides criticizing others without any logical argument or evidence?

  22. The only thing Rizzo is doing to make parks safer is not buy cocaine................... for himself ................on park property.

  23. Teach em a lesson. Don't put the stuff on TV.

  24. Did Rizzo even talk to the Park Board before he opened his little pie hole? I'm guessing not. Rizzo is such a loser.

  25. The only thing Rep. John Rizzo has done to improve parks is stop buying his cocaine in them.
