TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY MAYOR SLY JAMES PUSHES RADICAL GUN MANUFACTURER DIVESTMENT FOR CITY HALL PENSIONS!!!



Kansas City Mayor Sly continues his anti-gun agenda this morning.

To wit . . .

THIS MORNING MAYOR SLY WILL ASK THE COUNCIL FINANCE, GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER DIVESTING FROM GUN MANUFACTURES!!!



This an oddball move from Mayor Sly but follows his recent anti-gun sentiments aimed at the Missouri GOP in Jeff City.



Resolution title . . .

#130529 - Requesting that the boards of the Employees’ Retirement System and the Firefighters’ Pension System establish a policy to not directly invest in companies manufacturing guns, and recommending the boards of the retirement systems serving employees of the Board of Police Commissioners investigate a similar policy.

The body of the resolution is decidedly anti-gun and argues "persons with such ready access to firearms and their illicit use has created a public health and safety crisis, shattering lives and families, establishing fear and stress, impacting the mental and emotional health of not just direct victims, but of all people living in such environment."

TKC Fun Fact . . .

This tidbit from the text of the resolution offers a bit of wiggle room on the topic: "Although the City’s pension funds currently hold no investments in firearms manufacturers, and even though the City Council has no direct control over the investments made by the boards of trustees of the City’s pension systems."

So, it's kind of an empty gesture from the start . . .

However . . .

One critic notes . . .

"This is really dangerous for our Mayor to start playing politics with Firefighter pensions. He's bringing his personal politics into what should be strictly a business decision for the benefit of employees. He might not realize that he's setting a horrible precedent."

A KC Insider noted the possibility of future interests following the Mayor's lead and the politics that might be played with City pension dollars is virtually limitless. From the controversial offerings of drug makers to tech companies using slave labor practices . . . Encouraging Kansas City Socially Responsible Investing is a nice idea but, in practice, the strategy is really nothing more than a myth.

To wit . . .

MAYOR SLY'S ANTI-GUN AGENDA NOW ATTEMPTS TO PLAY POLITICS WITH CITY HALL, FIREFIGHTER AND POLICE PENSIONS!!!

For a Mayor who supported nuke components @ Honeywell in the last election . . . There really isn't really a clear line of thinking on this effort and it seems more like a rhetorical gambit that unfortunately subjects City Hall pensions to political whim.

Developing . . .

  1. Will this idea reduce gun violence in KC?

    Nope, kinda seems like grandstanding to me.

  3. What does this dumb ass mayor not realize about gun control? It doesn't work. Look at Chicago you idiot.

  4. It's almost like he wants to insure he doesn't win reelection. Maybe he can make his kid K Y , K J , or whatever, city manager.

  5. Slyeze is jonesing for a cabinet appointment or some other Obama goodie. Fuck him, let him move to Chicago where it's 'safe' LOL.

  6. Maybe Glover is planning to raise all his re-election campaign funds from the Merchants of Death, and that is why he is not worried about being broke?

  7. Thank you Shallow Hal. Can he be any more superficial? Mayor Nothingburger. If it wasn't for Funkhouser having such a bad term, he wouldn't look so good either. Posturing more than leading and spending our money trying to build something to put his name on.

  8. I'm not through ranting. I also want to thank Zimmerman for distracting us from the fact that Black's are killing each other every day at an alarming rate. This gives everyone, especially black's, someone else to point the finger at while they honor the no snitching code and fail to point the finger in the direction it belongs, right insight their community and homes throughout the poorer areas of their community.

    Do we see other ethnic or white for that matter, poor areas killing each other at this rate? No. Why? They don't have jobs and they aren't exactly treated very well by society either. They are profiled, shunned, feared in a dark alley too. People don't want them living near them and hanging out in their malls either. Poor people are profiled everywhere regardless of color so why not the same level of genicide?

    When you start holding vigil's to demand answers to that question you will begin the process of finding answers.

    1. So black people should not do what they want, but what YOU want. Great...as in, even worse.

  9. This is just the beginning. Just wait till the city takes over the police department. I guess there will be no politics involved in enforcement of laws then.

  10. If gun sales drop in kc what will KJ have to rap about? Daddy's gonna hurt his street rep...

  11. Doing away with drug laws would reduce violent crime far more than doing away with guns. But it wouldn't be nearly as profitable for all the drug warriors and poverty pimps.

  12. Mayor James is just a piece of shit. Can't wait to kick his ass out of office. Grandstanding, posturing - doing NOTHING but giving money to his buddies and fucking around with the toy train. Pay attention to infrastructure, Mayor Fucktard.

  13. If Mayor James really wants to reduce gun violence, he should concentrate instead on ALL violence and ALL crime- especially that coming from the African American community.

    Perhaps the City should divest itself from owning any type of investment that promotes violence per se- like the record labels of rap artist whose lyrics (like his son's) are full of hate and violence; the entertainment industry, who make movies and TV shows portraying all manners of violence; and any company that advertises during violent television shows.

    Of course, that would require REAL courage and REAL leadership- instead of the usual political pandering that inhabits and regularly spews forth from 12th and Oak.

  14. The one thing both whites and blacks have in common about the status of race relations in this country is their profound anger and dissatisfaction.

    Whatever this country has done over the last 50 years to enhance racial harmony and equality, one thing is clear. It ain't working- for ANYONE.

    If this country is truly going to move forward productively from this point, both sides, white and black, need to be free to be respectfully heard as they express their points of view.

  15. Craig Glazier got one thing right.

    The media's interest in this matter is singular- to whip up emotions and engage the fringe element in this discussion in order to prolong the controversy and outrage.

    Gives them more programming during which they can sell more advertising and more eyeballs meaning they can charge more.

    Whether you think the media is liberally skewed or panders to conservations, one thing is clear- the 4th estate in this country is rotten to the core.

  16. So now when the manufacturers bid on gun contracts for KC PD and local law enforcement the tax payers will pay S&W a premium. Makes wonderful headlines for the totally naive but is fucking idiotic to anyone with an ounce of awareness on these issues.

    Sly the Slu needs to go.

  17. Its time that someone made these merchants of death accountable.

  18. Byron, maybe Sly and invent a time machine and prevent the gun from being invented. Then the world would be free of death and crime.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Don't worry if the pension plans tank the taxpayers can foot the bill. Plus Sly can look like the wonderful liberal that Kansas City seems to love. Magie Thatcher(rest her soul) said it best...The problem with libs is they soon run out of other peoples money to spend.

    ReplyDelete
  20. So the KCPD can't arrest those carrying guns in their cars unless they are felons. Did the chief ever stop to think most of these men have committed dozens of felonies but have never been arrested because no one bothered to do real police work?

  22. Let's see, profits for gun manufacturers are at an all time high. Investments are meant to increase in value. So his plan is to take money out of companies doing well. Seriously Mayor, you have no business messing with investment strategies.

  26. ...and the Mayor should insist that the City refuse ALL Federal money from here on out because Uncle Sam keeps gun makers in business, finances wars, operates and supervises gun firing ranges all over the country and runs scores of munitions plants and buys millions of hand guns every year. If course the ultra-left screw ball, hypocrite won't now will he????

  27. So we are to make investment decisions based on what bugs the mayor? What if I don't want to invest in pharmaceutical companies that make the Plan B pill, or sell sugary snacks that make people obese, or that are involved in cigarette companies?

    How about we just worry about getting our pensions healthy?

  30. Will check out RATS. Does anyone know about Bank of American transferring the Country Wide mortgages to GMAC (bankrupt)now Green Tree Servicing?

    So now Sly is a pension expert? Sure, why not. KPERS is tens of millions in the red, so why not join in the fun of worrying about the PIGS robbing us blind.

  32. The Reverend Doctor Rodney King, Jr. Jr.7/17/13, 2:14 PM

    The Left is using the verdict in the Zimmerman trial to push for more gun control. Mayor Sly James has jumped on the bandwagon by proclaiming he wants a total gun ban in Kansas City. I guess Kansas City is not turning into Chicago quick enough for him. James was put into office by liberal white voters. What is he going to do when they flee to all points away from Kansas City and to Johnson County until Kansas City is 80% black? Anyone in Kansas City at that time without a gun is a sitting duck. Remember too that James is a trial lawyer and he probably smells a big payday by suing gun manufacturers. Despite Sly James’ expensive suits and his taste for expensive Scotch, is he just another street level hustler who made it to the top. The dirty little secret is that like all other Black politicians, he doesn’t give a shit about Black people. It is about he be getting what is his.

  33. Let's see, ban pension fund investment in gun makers, subsidize construction and operation of nuclear weapons manufacturer.

    Dear Mr. Tony: Thanks for posting this info. Memo to my fellow Democrats Sly James, Yael Abouhalkah, Gwen Grant, Steve Glorioso, etc.: Time to stop pretending that KCMO's crime problem is due to: 1) The recession 2) Lack of gun control 3) The Bavarian Illuminati (This third excuse is put in to emphasize that the first two excuses are equally wacky.) Since Jan. 1 2013 34 black men, mostly young, have died in KCMO--and these 34 deaths have received only a fraction of the coverage and attention of the equally tragic death of Trayvon Martin. Notice to the city's political class: There is nothing that you can do about the Trayvon Martin case, so forget about this tragedy and start focusing on something you can do something about: The now more than five year old bloodbath in the black neighborhoods of KCMO. Take care. Sincerely and Respectfully, Ernest Evans
