TKC EXCLUSIVE AND BREAKING NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY BIG MONEY MOVE AND CITY HALL ECO-DEVO POWER GRAB THIS WEEK!!!



For Kansas City Insiders who really watch local politics . . . There's an EPIC POWER GRAB IN PLAY THIS WEEK from Mayor Sly's Administration that will fundamentally change the way City Hall makes financial decisions.

Sadly, the newspaper isn't going to report on Mayor Sly consolidating power and OUR BLOG COMMUNITY has already documented some rather embarrassing mistakes from our local gov. financial agencies.

To wit . . .

CHECK THE MAYOR SLY ECO-DEVO POWER GRAB GOING DOWN THIS WEEK!!!

Here's a look at the legislation that reveals how it's going down:

140823 - Amending Chapter 74, Code of Ordinances, by repealing and reenacting Section 74-57, Delegation of Authority, for the purpose of requiring that development agreements contain a provision allowing the assignment to and assumption by City of certain rights, duties, interests and obligations of the Tax Increment Financing Commission of Kansas City, Missouri.

140826 - RESOLUTION - Directing the City Manager to work with the Economic Development Corporation of Kansas City, Missouri to develop and implement a plan for transferring to the City the accounting and financial reporting services provided to the Tax Increment Financing Commission of Kansas City, Missouri, and authorizing the execution of certain agreements.

There aren't good visuals to go with this story so we're just going to imagine Justene Jaro in a bed of Kansas City taxpayer cash that's ultimately under the control of Mayor Sly, Council Lady Cindy Circo and their political acolytes.

  6. Gee! I wonder how long it will take for the citizens of KC to elect King Sly as Senator or Governor. They have to love the commission and mayor. They voted.

  7. The main reason Sly was elected was economic development incentives. The development lawyers didn't like the breaks being put on by Funkhouser so they bought a new council and Mayor that would support what you have now. Anybody who has been paying attention knows the incentives are used by the council for campaign contributions and payments to attorneys. Take some time and look carefully. Circo is there for a reason.

  8. The background to this has been discussed on TKC but certainly not in the Star.
    Audit at EDC is so screwed up, something has to be done. Vendors aren't being paid and developers are getting checks they don't deserve. But don't fix the problem, cover it up! Hence the transfer to City Hall.
    But wait, wasn't it City Hall staff that created the $15 million TIF screw up that they covered up by getting a loan from Aviation? Same cracker jack staff!
    But here is the real heart of the matter. King Sly will now have his grubby paws on the Special Allocation Fund. On any given day this can be over FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS. Can you say "social security lock box"?

    Hmmmm, a new source of funding at City Hall. Whatever will they spend it on?????

  9. KCMO wants AND GOT the Special Allocation Fund. There will be no more new TIFs anywhere outside a geographic "box" located in a troubled area in downtown.
