Last year Kansas City suffered a horrific number of homicides and increased violence from the Northland to South KC yet the desperate cry for help and more law enforcement resources remains unheard at City Hall. Moreover, Mayor Sly James recently SMACKED DOWN the reasonable request for more dispatchers in a Police Board open session.
Accordingly and after we talked a bit about this topic last night . . .
CHECK A HORRIFIC CLIP WHERE MAYOR SLY BITTERLY ARGUES AGAINST MORE KCPD RESOURCES WHILST COMPLAINING ABOUT A CASH CRUNCH HIS OFFICE HELPED TO CREATE!!!
One more . . .
THE MAYOR IS PLAYING GAMES WITH KCPD PURSE STRINGS BUT JUST GAVE AWAY A SWEETHEART $30-MILLION CASH UP FRONT DEAL FOR THE CONVENTION HOTEL ALONG WITH SO MANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT PET PROJECTS!!!
Conclusion . . .
Without question, this rant is Mayor Sly James at his very worst. He's unlikable, argumentative, unconcerned with public safety and downright combative in defense of his agenda that works only to benefit developers & corporate cronies.
Take a look at this clip featuring Mayor's Sly's rant which we "liberated" from behind a paywall and the depths of the KCMO website:
You decide . . .
I think this video pretty much kills the mayor's chances at ever running for Congress. His mouth obviously got him in trouble here and his bad temper seems to be getting worse.
ReplyDeleteSly was never interested in public safety or infrastructure, he's a builder and a developer. This is the same agenda as President Trump btw.
Delete71 percent of the budget is a lot. Agree about finding inefficiencies, there is a lot of duplication that goes on and we need to talk about reducing government across the board.
DeleteYou may not like Sly's tone but what he says should make any REAL fiscal Conservative happy.
Total B.S. ^^^ Sly has never been anything close of a "fiscal Conservative" he spends big when it comes to pet projects for his top donors or big construction interests but when our neighborhoods are at risk, only then does he talk about cutting.
DeletePublic safety should be KC's first and foremost priority. Without security for business to grow there can't be any real gains or profit. People can't make a living in a war zone. A lot of KC's worst neighborhoods are an example of that.
ReplyDeleteHe’s showing big time signs of alcohol abuse, he’s losing control of everything
ReplyDeleteWhat a shit head
ReplyDeleteJust jumped ahead of Cleaver as KC's worst mayor ever. The epitome of CHEESE DICK
ReplyDeleteThe mayor did not say another word or vote on a single issue after his bullshit rant. During the discussion of violent crime in the city he never
ReplyDeletespoke a word. It’s time to hold him accountable for his bully tactics.
The whole thing was on tv today. Police are down 150 officers and the cith has 150 killings last year. The mayor has to go, he doesn’t give a shit about the voters or the children getting killed.
Shame on you Sly. If you don't care about the safety of voters, then why should we care about you.
ReplyDeleteRecall?
Sly is still pissed that he did not get the black officer from Oklahoma as the new Chief in Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteOr his #1 candidate the black female from Detroit.
Delete
ReplyDeleteBut yet the voters keep putting the same crap in over and over again. James, Cleaver, Funkhouser.
Sly James needs his butt kicked, and has blood on his hands. Public safety should come first, but instead he has run this city into the ground with crime, neglecting infrastructure, and division. Independence has better road crews than Kansas City and their tax base is a lot lower. Where's the money going?
Take a good look at his son!!!!!!
RECALL? YES!
I think this may mean his faggot son is coming back from LA. Sly wants to reduce the faggot sons chances for even more arrests, so no additional dispatchers.
DeleteGot a solution, Sly! Outside audit of every city department including the mayor's office. Uncovered inefficiencies in each department can then be addressed. Then you'll have to find something else to cry and bitch and whine about.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the case for why KC needs more police dispatchers? Analysis please.
ReplyDeleteCall 911 Dildo. Wait 5 minutes on hold.
DeleteTo late for a recall he has done screwed Kansas City so bad it will probably never recover from it.
ReplyDeleteLet me put something in perspective. Public Safety gets 71% of the general fund, not the entire budget. This is due to the general fund getting smaller as set aside items are added that don't go into general fund revenue. Case in point, if you look at the 2018-2019 city budget proposal you will see a large amount ($612 million) going to Transportation and Infrastructure. This is 36.29% of the total budget. Public Safety ($447 million) is 26.53% of total budget, but still 71% of general fund. Where is all the other money? In separate earmarked funds, such as PIAC. So Sly is just a lying sack.
ReplyDeleteHe speaks of inefficiencies in the PD, but he never calls one out by name. Does he not know of one as a commissioner or is he bloviating? I think he is just hot air and cannot address the real issue of how the city allocates funds.
Cut his protection detail and bowtie budget.
ReplyDeleteTake the two Officers that walk him around all day every day...theres two more for the streets, if he wants security, he can pay for it.
ReplyDeleteDisgraceful, ignorant, low functioning person, that's what KC has for a Mayor.
ReplyDeleteHe's been a worthless leader.
Tell Sly we have a way for more efficiencies and save the city money. QUIT giving it away to businesses you want to come to KC, quit giving these tax breaks or we'll end up like Baltimore or Detroit.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid with some of the boneheaded decisions this mayor and council and the councils before them have done is set this city up for failure by all the tax breaks. And talk about the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing, look at this debacle with the airport.
Talk about a joke in how this MOU was handled, voted it down in December, thank goodness a grass roots uproar derailed it.
Voters need to better vet these candidates for council and mayor and quit letting these people get in office and give away the checkbook
We already are like Baltimore and Detroit, but smaller population
DeleteWho's not for running a tight efficient operation?
ReplyDeleteIt's just that Sylvester James isn't the right person to offer that criticism to others!
First thing he did when elected was to greatly expand the Mayor's Office budget and staff. Had to redecorate his personal office with expensive furniture, etc. Funkhouser drove his own vehicle (old Toyota) and didn't use police bodyguards. Sylvester gets chauffeured everywhere and has 24/7 police security (guess how much those guys make annually).
Say what you will about Funkhouser, but he called out the TIF scam and knew where this mess is heading.
DeleteI don't even care about his wife, she was UNPAID.
I must've watched a different clip, because the mayor was correct in everything he said.
ReplyDelete^^^ You watched the same clip, but you're a consultant windbag who gets paid per word. That's the difference.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of us want more police and fewer politicians.
Fat dumb and drunk , Mayor is out of touch with reality , wants to Killa City scam as much as possible before heading off to gay Man island cruise . The douchebag homosexual plaza dumbass metrosrexual tranny's that voted for him must be so proud !¡!¡
ReplyDeleteDemocrat-run cities are run by politicians who appear to be more interested in sticking their nose into national politics and left-wing fads, as opposed to doing the mayoral work of filling potholes and decreasing the murder rate. How bad do things have to get before the residents of these cities wake up to the fact that Democrats are utterly incapable of managing anything? It is of no surprise that democrats lead those decrepit cities. They spend taxes on pet projects which do nothing to elevate people and their neighborhoods. Taxes are stolen and then raised to make up for the missing money. They are hostile to business and make sure their constituents are dependent on the government to get by. People control with no choices is the democrat way. Success is punished and the mentally and sexually confused are pedestaled to show how much they care for the dummies who vote to keep these dregs in office. And media cover up any and all which exposes the corruption to the best they can.
ReplyDeleteSly Slime is a LIAR! THANK YOU for making life much harder for my small business to survive by ADDING ANOTHER TAX that I need to find how to pay! I have ZERO to do with tourism, but yet I’m taxed for it. Had to raise prices and now need to find new stops because some do not like the price increase. What was that? I heard the new airport was not going to raise taxes? I understand people are not being charged to ride the new trolley? Where the hell are ones with common sense? I hope he at least has enough sense not to try to go further in politics! Would not be a smart move!
