TKC EXCLUSIVE TOY TRAIN STREETCAR REMINDER: KANSAS CITY SHOULDN'T FORGET ABOUT EPIC VOTE FOR GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS COMING SOON!!!
Like it or not, today the Kansas City discourse is completely dedicated to toy train streetcar hype.
We can only hope that a few protesters hit the festivities without slapping any horses . . . Still, there are important financial matters to consider amid this celebration that some of the smartest denizens of our blog community want to put on blast this morning.
WHILE KANSAS CITY CELEBRATES THE TOY TRAIN STREETCAR . . . THE PLAN IS ALREADY UNDERWAY TO PUSH GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS ON TAXPAYERS IN ORDER TO EARN MORE CASH IN THE NAME OF INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIR!!!
It's a nice thought but don't forget that Kansas City was happy to shell out MILLIONS for a public safety tax and now the police force confronts massive cuts.
The only thing that's assured when giving money to City Hall is that most of their efforts will be spent on paying out funds to consultants, developers and campaign donors.
Remember that TKC FIRST noted this bond effort at the outset of the last campaign season . . . And then Mayor Sly confirmed the upcoming ask when he was stumping for votes against some hobo.
Now that the E-Tax is passed, the toy train is on the move . . . Increasing this town's debt load seems to be the biggest priority.
So, while most of the clueless local media is regurgitating presser coverage and recycling pretty toy train pix, let's not forget that Kansas City Insiders are already working on the campaign talking points in order to ask voters for the right to borrow hundreds of millions worth of even more taxpayer cash.
Developing . . .
the bonds are like the secret that's right out there in the open.
ReplyDeleteit'll be a campaign that everyone will support and there probably won't be any organized opposition. Just like the e-tax KCMO is too naive to second guess the people in charge or ask them to account for the money.
Security is on heavy lock down for the debut. the horses are protected. There will be no civil disobedience allowed.
ReplyDeleteGeneral obligation bonds are the missing piece.
ReplyDeleteOnly C.A.V.E. people would dare object.
Jeff Roe isn't busy now, he can be hired by the city for a ridiculous price to push this pile of crap on to the voters.
ReplyDeleteGood people of #KCMO, I am here to spend my $$ because u have built @kcstreetcar. Likely would never have visited otherwise.
ReplyDelete7:21 knows that the true value of the streetcar is in COMMERCE.
ReplyDeleteGet ready for what's next....
ReplyDeleteTo have a general strike, all 8 of you internet yacktivists would need to have jobs with value. No one will miss you from your job where you spend most of the day trolling Tiny's Krying Cunts.
ReplyDeleteThe people running Kansas City politics and government and the people running Kansas City Public Schools should ALL be rounded up and thrown in the river.
ReplyDelete"a secret that's right out in the open"
ReplyDeleteSo, not a secret at all? Like the "secret" streetcar vote?
Goddamn, you guys are retards.
Sad that it took a $103 million streetcar for some people to claim they will spend money downtown when all these years we've had a great bus serving the same route that they apparently either too stupid or too afraid to ride.
ReplyDeleteRoe's salary would be the cheap part. His expense account for food is what would choke a horse.
ReplyDeleteDowntown started dying in the late 60's and not been a Mayor one smart enough to understand what was happening here.
ReplyDeleteIf KC government applies the same interpretation logic to "infrastructure" as they do "blight" they city will be using bond money to build gay restrooms and unionizing the street car drivers.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame that Peckerwoods in KC are so lethargic that they will sit on their nutsack and let the bond initiatives pass then scratch their ass trying to figure out what happened.
Well if one nigger gets on board it'll smell bad no matter how hot or cold it is. Why are the niggers so foul smelly contagion species anyway? Then ask these questions, why do the niggers look so heinous? Why are the sounds coming from the niggers so terrible? Why do the niggers don't think or behave like humans? Why are the niggers utterly vile? I could go on as these reasons and more stated that there cannot be a positive meaning to nigger's exist. And asking that question is like saying there should be something positive about the niggers as to why couldn't the niggers smell better. There's nothing rational about the niggers, as it is already designed in nigger DNA. Niggers are so smelly as fresh feces because they are niggers so we can also call them smelly niggers. Niggers were meant to be flushed, that's all there to it.
ReplyDeleteThere is always one cunt
DeleteHows the magical mystical trolley choo choo festival going today?

Niggers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
ReplyDeleteSly guy told TV4's Kathy Quinn this morning that the toy thingy is just a starter line not a finish line. The mighty mayor claims his James gang didn't do "all this" for "this" (meaning Tad Over Two Miles, Turtle Trudging, Traffic Tie-Up, Tooty Toot!) to be just a starter line. EXTENSION was enunciated, repeatedly.
ReplyDeleteHe said "we" got to get the cars off the roads, citing something about economics and ecological benefits of EXTENDING the lines. Wooooooo boy, that's gotta make best buds with the friends at Claycomo, Fairfax, all the delearships, mechanics and beyond...ya know, the ones that buy Chiefs, Royals, Mavericks tickets and yuuuge loads of tailgater fare to fill their big trucks and SUVs, mancaves and living rooms on game days! PRIVATE PERSONAL TRANSPORT "DRIVES" THE U.S. ECONOMY IN A YUUUUUUUUGE WAY! How many soccer moms do you ever see WITHOUT their own cars? That's right, those houses filled with kids,toys, lotsa sports gear, and a big dog or two, AIN'T riding public transportation, EVAR, or almost never.
Yep, KC Library has all the deets on KC's streetcar history, and reportedly the 1950s into 1960s was the high rider glory days here. Well, soon as the middle-class is finally ALL the way hollowed-out (if Hilly & TPP wins) the streetcars will be handy for former UAW and Teamsters AND TOO MANY OTHERS to get to the soup lines.
I can't wait for hundreds of niggers to ride it making the toy train stinky. White folks don't want to sit next to them or smell that so they won't take the train afterall and get back inside their nice SUV's and drive instead.
ReplyDeleteYou see even though these liberal folks act like they support the black niggers they are afraid of them more then ever if truth be told.
Two cunts
DeleteThe train is up and running, how do you like that fuckers-
ReplyDeleteAll the people who said it wouldn't happen..hop on board...bwahahaha....
10:55 the f*ckin' TITANIC and HINDENBURG were up and running...Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!....BOOOOOM!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLynnHorsley 1 hour ago
ReplyDeleteNot a huge crowd, just a few hundred people, at Union Station for @kcstreetcar opening ceremonies. More expected tonight and thru weekend.
Hee heeeeeeeee
10:55, no one said the streetcar would never be up and running. Nice straw man argument, though. Now do an argumentum ad hominem.
ReplyDeleteOnly a libtard moron would try to entice everyone to come ride the streetcar while touting green energy. How the fuck does the idiot think people get to the street car, they fly in hanging to rubber band powered drones? Fucking dumb coon!
ReplyDeleteThe nigger factor probably scared a lot of humans away.
ReplyDeleteThese types of attitudes is why Kansas City is seen as a shit hole. Ignorant trash like you
DeleteDing Ding Ding!
ReplyDeleteSChhhhhhhtep right up to the greatest show in town!
It's the $108 Million Dollar technological wonder!
THE MODERN TROLLEY!!!!!!!!
Sly got to ride first with Olathe Tom Gerend!
ReplyDeleteOlathe Tom is one of downtown's most exciting advocates! And fearless leader of the Streetcar Authority!
Good Peoples of KC! I have come to spend my $$$$'s today because u built Streetcar! Other wise I would have never had come to this place. The streetcar hot dog was delicious!
ReplyDelete@kclightrail
ReplyDeleteThe crowd! My god!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa! Legions of people lining the entire route, waving and witnessing history!!!!!! I love you man!!!
ReplyDeleteLess then the 318 people who voted for this obsolete rigged farce and boondoggle showed up for the opening ceremony.
ReplyDeleteDING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Neat! Kewl!!!
Are we Portland yet?
ReplyDeleteI like the streetcar almost as much as I do reading Tony's unrelenting, and purposeless, attempts to influence public transportation policies.
ReplyDeleteWitnessing your toxic commentary fail to do shit outside your vile group of denizens is beyond amusing.
But you could lie on the tracks and whine at the rails if it made you feel better. Hell, that would beat the deep thinking here.
Just be sure to post a pic.
Streetcar is such a joke today. They can't even get 500 people to the opening.
ReplyDeleteI saw a picture of that ass hat Troy Shitty riding the toy train. That mother fucker is so fat I'm supprised he didn't bend the steel track.
ReplyDeleteI'll never forget when I found myself running a construction crew rehabing buildings for the KCMHA. The building I was assigned was a three story apartment that was about ten years old and was in desperate need of a total rehab.
ReplyDeleteWork needed was repair of holes in walls where the niggers would actually tear a portion of a wall out between the apartment units so they wouldn't have to go into the main corridor to travel to the neighbors. Also needed was the total replacement of the plumbing going so far as to replace a toilet that some nigger had ripped up to sell to some pawnshop I would gather. You can imagine the smell was ghastly because niggers, being niggers, continued to use the bathroom shitting down hole in the floor where the toilet used to be.
The Housing Authority moved all the niggers out and gave us twelve weeks to complete the project.
The building was at the only entrance and exit to the complex containing a dozen typical buildings each having 40 units so there were a good 400 to 500 baboon tribes that used the entrance everyday on the way to the liquor store or welfare office.
We would get to work at 7:00 AM and all was quiet until around noon. At noon the niggers would start to stir and the first thing you would notice is the niglets showing up to play around the dumpsters followed a couple hours later by the dope dealers.
At 4:00 the place started to come alive and jump. The sound of sporadic gunfire that told us it was time to pack up and go home while the sound of automatic gunfire telling you it was 6:00 PM and you had your two hours overtime in.
The roofing crew hated niggers to a man and occasionally one of them would toss a heaping handful of roofing nails onto the entrance way drive three stories below. It wasn't long before this game caught on and I would imagine there was a good twenty to thirty pounds of roofing nails tossed on to the driveway everyday before noon. You can imagine the chaos this caused with 30 to 40 coonmobiles suffering multiple flat tires on a daily basis. Of course, being niggers, nobody had a good spare tire.
TOLD YOU SO!!!!! The streetcar rides on rails!!!!
ReplyDeleteDing ding ding, clunk clank, motherfuckers, you lost!
ReplyDeleteYeah are way too many niggers on the streetcar already. of course since it's free naturally niggers would flock to it.
ReplyDeleteGibs me dat free ride!!!
You should be jizzed on
DeleteActually Portland's Mayor and Chief National Toy Train Salesmen Charlie Hales and his wife showed up. Probably shacked up in one of David Johnson's One Light apartments he's trying to keep secret form the general public.
ReplyDeleteWOW, WERE LIKE PORTLAND NOW!!!!!!!
That giant sucking sound of taxpayer dollars flushing down the Artisan Crafted Downtown $2000 toilet bowls.
ReplyDeletePlacing an expensive streetcar in a "walkable" urban setting is beyond silly. It's no help for the American epidemic of OBESITY, especially in Korpulent City (in a metro that ranks lots of fatties with "show me" & "sunflower" staters--about even on the rotundness ranks).
ReplyDeleteA connector from stops at least a half mile apart makes sense, OR WALK!
Downtown "DENSITY", uh, yeah, loads of "DENSE" in 'smart' KC.
OMG!! It's Like!!!!!! The Portland Mayor Designed OUR KC STREETCAR!!!!!!!!!! His wife says so!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNancy Hales @NancyHalesPDX 2h2 hours ago
So very proud of @MayorPDX for designing #kcstreetcar and incubating new development @1914_Main w/Scott Richardson &
Unfucking believable how much of this shit the dumb asses of KC will tolerate.
ReplyDeleteCan we ship Staubio and Johnson back to Nebraska and Kansas now?
ReplyDeleteBefore they wreck anymore of this City?
Wow there it is! Nice view from the top of our One Light home away from home in Leawood of the Streetcar! It's cute! Sharp and Snappy looking!
ReplyDeleteAnyway need to get into my Benz in a bit to go buy the wife a new BMW but for now I'll enjoy the view below!
This is why Kansas City has too much sprawl
DeleteSerious, 1:59? Oh, you gotta be the girly-man of the group. While you're seventeen miles from home at either place, joke's on you. Bet ya don't get invited to your sister's nice ski chalet, or your brother's log cabin at the lake. Your college buds and cousins can't stand ya either, no doubt. If you're gonna pay for two domiciles, man, a perch over downtown KC, only a twenty minute trip from Leawood, is the most logical.
