Take a look at the latest newsie elite roundup wherein some of our most respected newspaper journalists talk about stories that appeared first on the Internets and often among our bloggy community.
Still a good look at how people are supposed to talk about the news in public or among strangers.
Youtube description:
"Mayor Mark Holland delivers his State of the County address this week in Wyandotte County. Holland joins Nick Haines to dissect the county’s biggest successes and challenges. Plus, he had designs on becoming Missouri's next governor, instead the state is mourning the loss this week of Tom Schweich the Missouri State Auditor who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Meanwhile, guns are the focus in Kansas as lawmakers vote to throw out all the rules for carrying a concealed weapon. Reporters Steve Vockrodt, Dave Helling and Steve Kraske discuss those issues along with the Liberty bullying case, uninsured rates in Kansas, Jason Kander's Missouri Senate run against Roy Blunt and Joe Reardon's new role with the KCATA."

Where is Glazers story on how he and Leonard Nimoy use to party and do coke together back in his Hollywood days? Sure Hearne will do a story slandering LN as well.
ReplyDeleteCK Week In Review
ReplyDeleteWith today's grey and snow it enhances the feeling I'm living in the intellectual equivalent of Siberia.
Holland, the fraud, needs the coverage to promote himself and justify the latest Ponzi scheme(s). Some old crap, different moron. KCK is a hellhole and nothing this bought and paid for zombie can say will change that. It's by design and he's the temporary mouth piece seated in the middle chair for the time being. Next, please.
ReplyDeleteHolland promoted his Wyandotte Healthy Communities program on this episode, and it is almost identical to what Save Thacher, Save Our Schools has been unsuccessfully pitching to the school district and the city.
ReplyDeleteIt gives me hope that we can point to that plan as a potential selling point for ours. Our phones and emails have been blowing up with architects and developers who read the news that the school board voted 5-4 to demolish an historic building for additional surface parking. This fight isn't over yet, and even if we lose Thacher, there are dozens of historic school buildings in struggling KC communities where this type of program will make huge impacts.
Healthy Communities program is only a brand he's trying to be identified so he can get attention. M.O. has her school lunch makeover program, Nancy R's just say no, etc. Meaningless programs that get thrown millions and are forgotten and worthless.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, huge impact for whom? Developers and architects with their hands in our pockets. Sell to private development and use your own money. KCK is broke and Holland pretends it's not.
I'm concerned that if we continue to ignore problems in Kansas City's east side, or only respond with police, our problems will continue to get worse. We need to create anchors for investment and opportunities for the underclass. We will eventually regret letting historic school buildings and the neighborhoods around them crumble.
ReplyDeleteSpend some time investigating where the money goes that is or was intended for these areas. It goes into the pockets of do-gooders. Why don't you look into some of their 501-3-C's tax returns? Available on IRS.gov. $80/$90 grand per year of grant funds going to their greedy, self-promoting asses.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is worse. It's worse than 5 or 10 ten years ago because of the above stated reason. Clean up your own backyard before you go reaching into tax payers bank accounts for more future misused funds.
I can name at least 20 of these people pocketing funds for your projects to nowhere. I would, but I don't want to wake up with a bloody horse head in my bed. That's how serious these people are about staying on the publicly funded gravy train. There dangerous and vindictive, but smile pretty in front of the TV cameras.
