Transit news involving a few drawings and cheap, abandoned track sent transit advocates and consultants into a tizzy over the (vague) possibility that this is anything but a campaign ploy from Jackson County Exec Mike Sanders . . .
Here's a transit presser of the Jackson County Ghost Train . . .
KMBC: Jackson County gets option to buy railroad right-of-way
Fox4KC: Agreement with Union Pacific brings county one step closer to commuter rail
Examiner: Railroad, county strike a deal for routes
Celebration over "the possibility of a plan" clues us in to the fact that the Jackson County exec simply wants to pad his resume while on track to chasing a higher office.
Fucking "ghost trains" and "toy trains". Jeez, can't KC do anything real??

ReplyDeleteYour record on Mike Sanders "predictions" is less than stellar. In fact, it sucks.
ReplyDeleteJust because you repeat a lie for five years doesn't make it true.
October 2009: Mike Sanders Runs For Higher Office With Big Money Eastern Jack Transit Plan.
Right.
August 2009: "I'll just score this as yet another victory for Mike Sanders as he steps to a higher elected office."
Guess not.
March 2011: TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! JACKSON COUNTY EXECUTIVE MIKE SANDERS LEANING CLOSER TO RUNNING FOR LT. GOVERNOR?!?
No.
All aboard the Slanderella Express.
Mike loves being in the press. And all of those articles you cite have links to the star that ran the same article. Seems like you are obsessed with TKC.
