As a city employee I can assure you that we the tax payers are about to take the raping of a lifetime. For whatever reason ( kickbacks, shady deals, incompetence , apathy......) you choose, sweet contracts are being handed out left and right by the water department . New contracts which end up costing double for virtually the same service as previous contracts are in progress right this moment. Why? Did the water dept. Fail to plan for the sudden influx of cash that would accompany the tripling of rates? I doubt it. Maybe we should ask Bill Downy or one of the other consultant who have set up shop in the basement of the water dept.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-76605442901964646832014-03-26T17:56:25.938-05:002014-03-26T17:56:25.938-05:00I am always suspicious when I hear the words "...I am always suspicious when I hear the words "advisory", "consultant", or "study" in an organization's name.

He ran for mayor from the shadows -- behind the curtain -- where people can't see your flaws. He gets sold these half-baked ideas from whatever eco dev grifter has his ear that day or week or month and he doesn't seem to have that sixth sense that all good pols have. That Bill Clinton-styled way of casually putting a finger to the wind and making an about face in order to save your ass. No, Sly doesn't have that just like the Funk didn't have that and it's probably going to cause him the fame fate as the tall lanky one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-24196632934738941292014-03-25T22:40:56.919-05:002014-03-25T22:40:56.919-05:00Is KC growing tired of Sly...um, let me think...YE...Is KC growing tired of Sly...um, let me think...YES!!! ...and his thug son as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-20078795223558325312014-03-25T21:27:54.035-05:002014-03-25T21:27:54.035-05:00Sly is black.

An audit of Missouri TDDs reveals the repeated poor management of these funds. <br /><br />Any business or person within the TDD is at the mercy of these creeps if they get their hands on this money. You only get the city services you require if you support their streetcar.<br /><br />Don't believe they're so shallow? Ask any of them a tough question and see how quickly you are singled out. There are countless documented examples.Bryan M.
