TKC NOTE: Here's the latest message from Kansas City transit activist Clay Chastain regarding local Democracy and Mayor Sly's effort to railroad a citizen initiative petition. Check it:
Clay Chastain's message to Mayor Sly James.
The Sly James led city council refuses to respect the KC Electorate and pass resolution #140.
Resolution #140 is a draft from the city's own law department that would promise voters the city would use the tax revenues from Ballot Questions #1 & #2 (if approved by voters November 4th) for construction of the light rail-based transit system outlined in the light rail initiative supported by 4,000 petition signers.
This way the city cannot use that $1.5 billion tax stream (over the next quarter century!) for whatever project the city wants!
Hint: Think new KCI airport terminal, or a new billion dollar downtown hotel, or a monument to Sly, or even for expanding the City's Frou Frou streetcar line.
* Remember fellow KC voters...
DON'T BE RAILROADED BY SLY
(VOTE YES ON QUESTIONS #1 & #2 )
MOVE KC FORWARD WITH LIGHT RAIL
& A NEW MAYOR TO BOOT!
Clay Chastain, part-time KC resident, KCMO registered voter, and leader of the Light Rail Initiative campaign to promote voter approval of Ballot Questions #1 & #2 November 4th.

Every time I think I have had it with Sly, Clay pops up like a whack-a-mole and convinces me that Sly is not so bad.
ReplyDeleteNo citizen who follows the constitutional process deserves the bullshit that has been pulled with this initiative or on 4000 citizens who signed the petition. It is not a matter of what you think of Chastain. It is a matter of whether or not a city government may be openly corrupt in their handling of a legitimate ballot issue. This is the kind of shit that was pulled in the old south Mississippi. Sly should be ashamed of the mark this makes on his integrity. Sly's mistake is thinking no one will care because of who it is.
ReplyDeleteWhere does Clay reside?
ReplyDeleteIt does not matter where Clay lives you mayoral sychophant (sic) 'cuse me I mean suckass.
ReplyDeleteThe issue is corrupt government you suckass staffer for S'lie
Two legit petitions ignored.
ReplyDeleteI want a law that removes the roof from Clay's house - and no I do not live where he lives. I just want it. It does not matter.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Clay and Dan Cofran should move into a love nest together?
ReplyDeleteWhy does it seem like dealing with Clay Chastain is like playing Whack-a-Mole?
ReplyDeleteHe's a gigantic pain-in-the-ass who has never accomplished anything of note other than to stir crap up in this city!
