CITY BUDGET DISCUSSION ON TWITTER AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING TO AVOID KANSAS CITY VOTER PARTICIPATION!!!
More than any other politico in recent Kansas City History . . . Mayor Sly is masterful and crafting the illusion of transparency.
Internets chatter is much easier than simply standing up in the urban core and talking.
Here's today's Kansas City Tech Propaganda:
City invites public to join first ever interactive budget chat
The City of Kansas City, Mo., invites the public to share ideas regarding the City’s Submitted FY2014-15 Budget by participating in the first ever interactive budget chat on Wednesday, Feb. 12 from 3-4 p.m. During this time, Mayor Sly James, City Manager Troy Schulte, City department directors and budget staff will gather together at City Hall to respond to the public’s questions and comments.
“This is a new, innovative way for City leadership to interact with the public on the details of the proposed budget,” said Mayor James. “I invite everyone to review the proposed budget and share their ideas and questions.”
To participate in the budget chat, please send comments/questions via Twitter to @KCMO (www.twitter.com/kcmo) using the hashtag #kcmobudget or send an email to kcmosocial@kcmo.org.

ReplyDeleteThis is a joke right?
ReplyDeleteWill they respond with specifics on how they plan to pay for a pension plan $600,000,000 underfunded? Plans that need an extra $50,000,000 for the next 20 years.
ReplyDeleteNo new taxes TWEET TWEET we promise TWEET TWEET!
ReplyDeleteReam the common taxpayers as usual 5:14 PM
ReplyDeleteThis is just like a KC government program. They tweet and those attending have a fourth grade reading comprehension level. Hell, they will probably hold elections via twitter if this works out.
ReplyDeleteOne thing is obvious Sly and his streetcar crew had their asses handed to them at that meeting the other night.
ReplyDeleteActually, what Sly's good at is creating the illusion of anything actually happening.
ReplyDeleteAnnouncements, programs, new projects, claims, ribbon-cuttings, rollouts, and all the rest.
But a month or two later, check the results.
Thin air.
And yet, the money's gone.
But after the Brookside streetcar fiasco, there's just a whiff of folks figuring out the scams.
The balloon may just begin to deflate.
I handed sly his ass when I told him how the toytraintrollehboondoggle was coming to KILL OUr BABIeS
ReplyDeleteThen I sad CK not kC
Hahjahahahahhahahahaha
