TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! INSIDER WARNS: KANSAS CITY UNPREPARED FOR SPRINGTIME TORNADO SEASON OF SEVERE WEATHER!!!
Kansas City shouldn't forget that disaster also has economic implications.
To wit . . .
THE VERY BEST TKC TIPSTERS WARN THAT KANSAS CITY DOESN'T HAVE THE CASH TO COPE WITH A SEVERE SEASON OF SPRINGTIME WEATHER!!!
Notice already that we haven't heard much about storm clean-up efforts. Also, Brookside remains hit hardest by the hot mess and already this morning neighbors are complain about a lack of city service.
A KC INSIDER NOTES: "The snow storms wiped us out. Kansas City might need federal help if this Spring gets worse. More than a few departments are at the breaking point. City equipment needs updating and we're not getting that funding. People think we can just rush over and fix downed trees and provide clean-up. That's not the case. In a lot of instances, people are going to have to pay for clean-up out of their own pocket."
It gets worse . . .
TOP ECHELON TKC TIPSTERS ADVISE THAT THIS KANSAS CITY SPRINGTIME TORNADO SEASON IS EXPECTED TO BE "KATIE-HORNER-STYLE" CATACLYSMIC!!!
All joking aside, Global Climate Change has played havoc with our weather and already tornado season seems exceptionally dangerous, deadly and expensive.
And didn't I hear something about basketball-sized hail???
In any event, while Kansas City wastes money on a toy train and planning for a new airport . . . So many other priorities like neighborhood cleanup go unmentioned until KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS start to complain. Natch.

Can we put yard waste aboard the toy train?
ReplyDeleteSo I have to deal with a downed tree on the property I own? Geez, what's next, am I going to have to start wiping my own ass, too?
ReplyDeleteThat's the answer from the City.
ReplyDeleteBrookside is a mess.
Where is Sly?
Mommy mommy my Intertubes aren't working!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's okay darling, it was just a storm. Your 28, and a big boy now
so just stay put. Wouldn't want you to have to go outside and get a splinter in your mouse finger or hurt yourself clearing brush.
Lol!
ReplyDeletecity hall can't solve your problems. Don't ask.
"Look peasants, you had a choice between a toy train and basic services and you overwhelmingly chose the train -- all 335 of you!"
ReplyDeleteTKC, you might want to know that East of Troost took a hit because of this storm too. Debris on our streets will stay even longer and the city is slow to honor their pickup plans in even the best of circumstances.
ReplyDeletethose are called bodies... not debris. show a little respect.
DeleteTony: We should not have to pay taxes! Taxes are unfair! FREEDOM NO TAXES WHHHHHAAAAAAA!
ReplyDeleteTony: Services suck.
there is a storm of convictions heading this way for everyone around rizzo. His dad was already taken out
ReplyDeleteTony, mr link friendly, can you should ANYONE else who has covered JJ actually doing something, anything, for his neighborhood in Columbus Park, EVER?! OR EVER for anything in the Northeast?! OR EVER in Jeff City? No one, NO ONE, respects him but you. Why? Is the money that good?
ReplyDelete@9:52 As for the east side of Troost leave the crap in the streets. Thats one way to stop drive-bys.
ReplyDelete10:13 AM, truest comment ever posted.
ReplyDeleteShhhhhhhh. Sleeeepy tiiiiiimes. Time for sleeeeeeping.......
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteWhat is it 3 more days for these stations to compete in May sweeps for eyeballs?
ReplyDeleteSly has plenty of money to rebuild bridges and remark streets for his trolley. Guess he wouldn't want to use that money to help the taxpayers,
ReplyDeleteWhy won't the City mow the fucking grass on Brookside Blvd? We pay 1% of our incomes to KC, we have Sly blogging about sausage, and our neighborhood looks like a country field.
ReplyDeletegood point.
ReplyDeleteYou d-bags seem to forget Nature owns us, not us them.
ReplyDeleteAt anytime that thing you call a home could be nothing but rubble.
the city does about 1.5 million dollars in mowing on property they don't own each year
