A quick note from Kansas City tax fighters prepares their group for a show-down regarding the fate of the TOY TRAIN.
Take a look . . .
Streetcar Extension Proposal. Court Presentation Date Set! Here come more taxes!!!
If you are tired of more taxes being piled on top of an already above average tax base: If you are tired of your utility bills going up at alarming rates because city hall has elected to charge all the taxpayers for the utility work done on the streetcar line, rather than just those taxpayers in the TDD. These charges total millions of dollars and because they are not added into the cost the city quotes you for the streetcar, the streetcar cost is under estimated by these same millions of dollars.
It’s time to stand up and tell your councilperson NO MORE STREETCAR TAXES, we have more important things to fund. Remember, city hall will be back shortly with a city-wide bond proposal for “infrastructure repairs” this will add millions more in debt to the taxpayers and raise taxes throughout the city even more . . .
Do not believe it when city hall tells you “it doesn’t cost the taxpayers living outside the TDD anything.” We’re not stupid, look at your utility bills. This eight mile extension could easily cost $700,000,000 - $800,000,000.
"The Jackson County Circuit Court has scheduled a hearing in September for people to weigh in on a proposal to extend the Kansas City streetcar south of downtown.
"The court will hold a public hearing on the question of creating and funding a proposed streetcar taxing district. The hearing is set for 9 a.m. Sept. 15."
See you in court on September 15th. Bring your sign! Let’s put an end to this madness once and for all. Visit our Facebook page for more details on the streetcar and the airport fiascos.

8 Miles? I thought they are trying to railroad a 3.5 mile extension to UMKC first before trying to rip off the trolley trail again from the people.
ReplyDeleteNOTICE : that's all those LIBERAL LIB'TARDS know, is how to PAY for their silly Pet Projects thru HIGHER TAXES, that's the typical LIB'TARD Mentality and attitude = FACT !!!

DAMN!!!!!!!!! That is some of the BEST news reporting I've seen in a long time!
Once again, just earlier today, we had on KSHB 41 early evening news and I started laughing out loud, explaining that it was nearly all entertainment drivel. Like I need to know about some Little Wayne rapper that had a seizure, or some fire in California (I think it was), and a bunch of other CRAP. They NEVER tell you about what's going on at City Hall.
So, thank you for this excellent posting.
Not even east side voters are dumb enough to believe the streetcar is to blame for water rates going up.
ReplyDeleteNice try, coffeycakes. Your weak shit STILL won't sway any votes in the core.
Maybe you should move up to Heather Halls district where people like you belong. At least them your Hall For City Council yard sign wouldn't make you the neighborhood laughing stock.
^^^^^^Sez trolley boy from Coffeyville.
ReplyDeleteMeh, it'll be resolved like everything else in this town. See you guys at the expansion groundbreaking.
ReplyDeleteCoffey can't be too dumb. He had a Frank White sign in his yard also. Both got elected!!!
ReplyDeleteLucas Staus & Sam Abadir still angsty AF, eager to fill workday trolling the internet since their neighbors don't support their anti-city agenda.
