Actually, we're pretty sure Council Dude Russ isn't talking to us . . .
But . . .
WE BROKE NEWS ON THE KANSAS CITY TOY TRAIN STREETCAR ROUTING MOST OF THE MISSOURI TRANSIT TAX MONEY THIS WEEK!!!
Here's a more formal write-up of our breaking news:
"The city is asking the Missouri Department of Transportation for $3 million a year from its tax – if it passes – to help fund the streetcar district. That would allow collection of only a total of one-cent additional sales tax in the new streetcar district – if it passes – instead of the 1¾ cent increase."
So, there you go . . . That's MODOT Tax Info AND Kansas City Toy Train news all in one post FIRST on TKC and before any other reporter bothers to fight with Council Dude Russ. Natch.
is this whole city just working to fund a 2.1 mile lane?
ReplyDeleteYes we are.
DeleteCall Glorioso...he can fit it.
ReplyDeleteHe is a political brainiac supreme.
Frank White will make it right...
ReplyDeleteLets get him home.
All for Fearless Frank....
let us know in here.
So when does Russ get his Burns and mac job?
ReplyDeleteThe reporter must be Mahoney 'cause the rest of them are interns...at least i hope to God they are interns.
ReplyDelete6:21: Probably next summer after his term expires. BNIM's also a possible.
ReplyDeleteAll is not well in S'LIElandia
ReplyDeleteThese clowns have to keep running (and lying) faster and faster just to stay where they are.
ReplyDeleteOf all the harebrained schemes in KCMO, and there have been many over the years, this is the one that will finally break the bank.
And it's so far gone that they can't stop now. Just like Bernie Madoff.
Tell the lie long enough and loud enough. Bastards, stop lying city hall!
ReplyDeleteRuss owns you bitches!
ReplyDeleteTonys echo chamber.
ReplyDelete......eetcar, tcar, car...
He said "reporter" so you can rest assured he WASNT talking about you Tony.
ReplyDeleteI was without work for 6 months when my former Co-worker finally recommended me to start freelancing from home... It was only after I earned $5000 in my first month when I actually believed I could do this for a living! Now I am happier than ever... I work from home and I am my own boss now like I always wanted... I see a lot of unhappy people around me, working the same old boring job that's sucking the life out of them day by day... Everytime I see someone like that I say START FREELANCING MAN! This is where I started >

Why do you say "US" instead of "ME?"
ReplyDeleteAren't you a one man band blogger?
This guy Russ is such a douchebag. Please go away.
ReplyDeleteThe house of cards will come crashing down soon enough.
ReplyDeleteI like russ. But on this one he's wrong. The train will not lead to density or economic development. It's just about moving people, it's not the panacea.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to take the streetcar from my subsidized loft to get $2 cans of PBR at the Mike's Tavern Happy hour. Part of living in a diverse cosmopolitan city is being able to drink yard beers at dive bars then pass out on public transportation.
ReplyDeleteIf you rubes ever visited NYC you'd know that!
I would moved to NYC so I could ride real trains but my $15 per hour job wouldn't rent a closet there.
ReplyDeleteYup charge a toll on I-70 fir badley needed repairs, but hand 3 million, from tax payers all over the state, to a bunch of juveniles run amok for a toy train. These bastards are so fucking corrupt they think it is perfectly normal to operate like this.
ReplyDelete1130 demonstrates classic suburbanite magical thinking and a child's understanding of where taxes "come from" simultaneously.
ReplyDeleteAlso, unsurprisingly, he had a Johnson county IP address
