Really great ranting here @ the Show-Me blog . . . Somebody must have done something horrible to Patrick Tuohey's cornflakes this morning . . .
Kansas City’s War On The Future
Here's how it starts and it just gets better . . .
"With all the political rhetoric floating around Kansas City, one would think the city is embracing high technology and forward-looking, well, everything. A closer examination reveals just the opposite. The city is using 19th-century politics and policymaking, and hoping for 21st-century results. It is as anachronistic as those future-looking movies of the past."
Lots of great links and tons of evidence in this post that even includes mention of TKC news . . . READ THE WHOLE THING FOR YOURSELF . . . It's a great insight into the current Kansas City taxpayer revolt.

We can't break "tradition", it would be uncivilized!
ReplyDeleteSame old people; same old insider crap; same old Chamber swells and made law firms; same old contempt for the people who live here.
ReplyDeleteSame crappy results that only get more and more expensive.
And Sly putting lipstick on a pig and hoping no one notices the snout.
World class.
As long as they don't support spam.
ReplyDeleteWell said, my foavorite "Futrue looking movie" is "Metropolis".
ReplyDeleteI am less than sanguine that we, here is KC will ever become "Metropolis". We could however become Detroit in no time flat.
Pretty good analysis. I can imagine that Mensa boy's only reaction will be to attack the Show Me Institute rather than address the issues raised.
ReplyDeleteThere is no future for KC
ReplyDeleteBack to the future....tell me how Burns & Mac is any different than the Pendergast Machine...instead of unnecessary concrete in Brush Creek, we get unnecessary water, sewer, streetcar and airport projects!
ReplyDeleteRe:...announced that he is leaving Kansas City for the East Coast to seek greater opportunities. Let's hope is David Johnson. I would buy this jerk a one way ticket out of KCMO anytime.
ReplyDeleteGreater opportunities than in KCMO?!
ReplyDeleteImpossible; it's the innovation capital of the country.
Maybe he got a franchise with the online sock guy.
9:05: It's Caleb the perpetual student. Probably got an internship at Columbia where he'll be kept grading student essays (a fate worse than death) and away from the public.
