There's never been a real and honest accounting of how much money has already been spent, where it all was taken from, and any serious presentation of expected tax revenues vs operations and maintenance expenses FOR PHASE I!<br />And if the Main Street route is free, all the rest will have to be too. First decision by the Streetcar Autority that Sly appointed. Fols who, by the way, have NO RESPONSIBLITIES for how anything turns out, how much it costs, or who pays for it.<br />Sly's days of cheerleading while hiding behind the curtain are coming to an end.<br />And there's not a whole lot to see except tens of millions already spent and $10-15 million/year debt payments as far as the eye can see.<br />All aboard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-34261313277278935672014-03-05T13:13:01.577-06:002014-03-05T13:13:01.577-06:001:03 comment is a FREAKING GENIUS!!!!

We are paying the forever zoo tax. We are paying a P&L tax for a failed district that loses money every year. We pay jacked up water and sewer rates over TWICE what the same amount costs in surrounding jurisdictions (who, by the way, purchase water from KCMO). Supreme Idiot James refuses to cooperate with the Missouri State Auditor to audit the Water Department and other Departments. Jackson County has raised our real estate taxes. Tax Tax Tax. WE WILL NOT SUPPORT ANY NEW TAXES. The streetcar morons, including Supreme Idiot James and his hipster freaks in City Hall do not seem to understand that the voters simply will not approve another tax. The saturation point has been reached, and then some. It all comes down to common sense, which is that the public does not need or want a streetcar!

That’s the dominant goal,” Johnson said. “The dominant goal is not to have a lot of people ride it.
