There are a number of proposed changes in order to modernize the city's 1925 charter. However, since only about two dozen people normally vote in the upcoming election, you can't blame people for being a little suspicious.
Mark Forsythe has a great post that examines the issue in detail.
I'm not one to pour over silly details . . . Or facts . . . But I'm almost certain that somehow the ballot language is written in such a way that voting yes on almost anything will somehow transfer all of the rights to your soul over to Country Club Kay and therefore Steve Glorioso and local real estate developers, so read all of the questions carefully, pretend you understand them and then recall a simpler time in Kansas City (like 11 years ago) when the Mafia did all your voting for you. Note: I can only hope that someday soon Diebold will have a function that will tell you exactly how to vote or simply do it for you.
If the ballot language and the ordinance language are different, isn't that illegal? I'm no lawyer but that seems wrong.
ReplyDeleteA bit cynical about voting Tony?
ReplyDeleteThe Neighborhood Action Group supports a No on Question #2 No on Question #4 No on Question #6 and a No on Question #7 If you want more information take a look at KCNag.com or KCMOHotline.com
ReplyDeleteSo that means NAG votes Yes on 1, 3 and 5? NAG says sell park land whenever the City needs a buck or two. Let old ass judges stay around until they're even older, and take the mayor's vote out of choosing a replacement City Councilman.
ReplyDeleteI thought NAG was putting out the "No No No" signs supporting a vote of NO for all seven issues?
