Once again, TKC TIPSTERS prove correct in calling out Kansas City's mostly weak City Council and pointing out that we're getting the first good look at the "strong Mayor" form of government in this cowtown.
APPARENTLY, MOST OF THE CITY COUNCIL LOVES MAYOR SLY'S LATEST SCHEME AND DON'T HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT INCREASING THIS TOWN'S DEBT AND TAX BURDEN!!!
Council Endorses Mayor's Tax Plan
The language used to push the new taxes touts "infrastructure" improvements but TKC TIPSTERS still aren't convinced that there won't be a lot of room for TIF and cash for other pet projects.
