When you find yourself BORROWING $10 million for "planning" and can make only the interest payments, and those from a fund that was actually budgeted for something else, you're well on your way to insolvency. Kind of like borrowing money to pay an architect to design a building you can't afford.
ReplyDeleteIn three or four years, the KCMO general fund will be sucking eggs...and all just to try to be part of a short-lived fad.
And all the renters who pushed this along will be long gone to yards for their kids and good schools.
Fuck the funding for streetcars or any mass transit. The city will fuck those projects up too. Hell, you can even get a bus to the ballgame, much less one to Camaro-head.
