TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! TOP COWTOWN POLITICOS RECRUITED FOR THE KANSAS CITY STREETCAR AUTHORITY!!!
A new power is soon to rise in the Downtown "Toy Train" Streetcar effort.
THE CITY COUNCIL HAS MOVED TO ESTABLISH THE KANSAS CITY STREETCAR AUTHORITY!!!
ACCORDINGLY, THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED COWTOWN POLITICOS ARE SOON TO GET ON BOARD THIS POWERFUL TRANSIT ORGANIZATION!!!
First, take a look at the ordinance establishing this local nonprofit:
#120692 - "Directing the City Manager to cause the incorporation of the Kansas City Streetcar Authority, Inc.; approving certain appointments to the Kansas City Streetcar Authority, Inc.; authorizing the City Manager to execute a cooperative agreement with the Port Authority of Kansas City, Missouri for the purpose of establishing a binding procedure for the appointment of board members to the Kansas City Downtown Streetcar Transportation Development District and Kansas City Streetcar Authority, Inc.; and authorizing the City Manager to execute a cooperative agreement allocating responsibilities for the design, construction, management and operations of the streetcar."
Obviously, a board member spot on The Kansas City Streetcar Authority would be one of the most prestigious gigs in town.
To wit . . .
TKC HAS OBTAINED A SHORT LIST OF NOMINEES UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR THE KANSAS CITY STREETCAR AUTHORITY!!!
Check it:
Aggie Stackhaus - The former Parks Board Commissioner is always first in line for noteworthy appointments. She brings A LOT to the table and not just haters from The Johnny Dare Morning Show. Her influence in swaying more public support and access to rich folks who can donate money to the cause would be essential in an effort that galvanized all of Kansas City.
Jason Grill - The former Missouri House Rep. has already served as a pitch man for the toy train. On the Kansas City Streetcar Authority he would have even more leverage to sweet talk voters into supporting the project.
Diana Kander - This local power broker and entrepreneur is part of the team that helped to put Mayor Sly in office and she would certainly be an asset to any committee aimed at winning widespread support among voters and the business community.
Look for more names to be thrown into the equation of news that TKC BROKE FIRST as Kansas City's elite get on board the toy train effort and continue to railroad any opposition.
DEVELOPING . . .
neat.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh the media ho's will come out of the woodwork to be on this dog and pony show.
ReplyDeleteIn a town of over 460,000 residents, the same names come up over and over again. I guess it's because they've done such a great job in their past performances. Either that or the folks who appoint them know that they'll do just what they're told.
ReplyDeleteMake up another BIG batch of KoolAide!
What about Beth?
ReplyDeleteJason Grill is a piece of shit rapist!!!

ReplyDeleteGood thing Jason's daddy had deep pockets, deep enough to pay off the victim of his violent sexual assault. If daddy hadn't stepped in when he did, Jason most like would have ended up in prison! Yet Tony keeps rolling him out there like he is the second coming of JFK.
ReplyDeleteI'd fuck Diana Kander in her ass. Then cum all over her face.
ReplyDelete8:19: Where have you been lately? We've all been missing you!
ReplyDeleteIf aggie is a part of this, I'm out.
ReplyDeletePoliticians treat us like mushrooms, the feed us shit and keep us in the dark.
ReplyDeleteEvery election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.
H. L. Mencken
NOW it all makes sense.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a whole lot of cash to go around in this scheme.
ReplyDeleteDiana rocks. She really does.
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone hate Diana Kander? Really?
ReplyDeleteNo one misses 6:51
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be a non-stop train.
ReplyDeleteThe Three Bullies.
ReplyDeleteYah the same old tired and worn out crew always in line for "first appointments".
ReplyDeleteDowntown condo owners are exempt from property taxes maybe they can support the toy train.
ReplyDeleteYou do not really get the feeling of hate toward Diana Kander until you meet her.
ReplyDeleteI guess now that Diana is involved, Tony will be all for the Streetcar.
The put a rapist and two castration artists on the board? OMFG!
ReplyDeleteWhat else is new.
ReplyDeleteTax Payer Subsidized Fiberhoods Kansas City Style
If you threatened me with death, I STILL wouldn't screw Aggie Ugly-as-a-Toad Stackhouse.
ReplyDeleteAnd, oh by the way, she is curiously loud and assertive for someone who's dumb as a fence post.
Aside from whether these people are good candidates for board appointments, the other really troubling thing here is:
ReplyDelete1) the people would be paying for the Streetcar will not be allowed to decide it's funding, and
2) they also apparently are not being considered to be part of the governance structure.
Since we know any such system will be woefully under-funded at the outset, I'd give this system (if it ever does get built) a ZERO chance of success.
Not that a Streetcar line is a bad idea (under the right circumstances it could well work), but the way the City has structured it,m it really has not got a chance.
Hey, can I be the engineer? Tooty toot toot
ReplyDeleteAggie Stackhouse?? Seriously?? Has she been giving Glover blow jobs to secure a spot on any committee she can? Aggie is dumb as a post, loud, downright cruel, racist, obnoxious, offensive, self-absorbed, self-involved, crass, mean as a junkyard dog, and completely irrelevant. People hate her but no one wants to talk to her for any length of time to tell her.
ReplyDeleteWant to give the streetcar project the Kiss if Death? Appoint the ultimate loser, Aggie, to a role. And by the way, she supported Burke to the end. Let Burke give her something to do. She might be qualified to be a janitor for Burke's law firm. Say NO to Aggie if you value the streetcar project.
Is it true that the Republican Party has found some very interesting things in Jason and Diana Kander's tax returns?
ReplyDelete8:24: Well, is it true or are you making accusations you can't back up?
ReplyDeleteAnyone that has known Diana Kander for more than six months has likely been lied to or back-stabbed a couple of times by her. Her husband is the same way.
ReplyDeleteLet's don't forget Jeff (Fat Fuck) Roe and the rest of the usual suspects..
ReplyDeleteYou know Jason Kander personally built a street car system that reaches ever corner of Afghanistan when he was personally saving the world?
ReplyDeleteQuestion, are any of these individuals property owners in the district or do the all live out in the suburbs?
ReplyDeleteAggie Fucking Stackhouse?
ReplyDeleteAre you shitting me?
Trains have to do more than just run on time. Trains have to be budget neutral!
ReplyDeleteLet me at it! If they really have an amount like that to work with, a far far far greater thing is possible. Shucks, we could get Worlds of Fun to build a trolly-car system over a 2.2 mile stretch of track....
Think about it. Have you ever been to worlds of fun? OK, I want you to think about the roller coaster track. Think about the size of the cars that people ride on. Now think of using the same system (with some enhancements) to shuttle people to and from the river market area. Such systems can be easily and cheaply built and importantly do not require large-scale subsurface preparation. I mean the *serious* artists in this town could build it in less than 2-months (engine included). For less than 2 million dollars. With the help of Worlds of Fun engineers.
That is more of a blind bet. I would have to sit down and get the numbers for the cost of the track. I can assure the taxpayers of KC that the track itself will cost vastly less than $100,000,000.
I will get you a ***real*** value for your money.

My first bit of data regarding the cost of roller coasters (the longest in the world being approximately 1 mile in total length:
ReplyDelete-----begin----
For instance, at Cedar Point, these are the costs, in millions, of some of their biggest rides.
Corkscrew (1976) - $1.75
Gemini (1978) - $3.4
Disaster Transport (1985) - $7.4
Iron Dragon (1987) - $4
Magnum (1989) - $9
Mean Streak (1991) - $7.5
Raptor (1994) - $11.5
Mantis (1996) - $12
Millennium Force (2000) - $25
Wicked Twister (2002) - $9
Top Thrill Dragster (2003) - $25
Maverick (2007) - $21
Kings Island:
Racer (1972) - $1.2
Beast (1979) - $4
Adventure Express (1991) - $4
Firehawk* (2007) - $15
Diamondback (2009) - $22
All of this is available at www.RCDB.com. So I can put together an extrapolation from the data. The big thing is that there are LOTS of roller coasters out there, and due to inflation, their costs are not equivalent, or due to their age the cost is not available. Also, this is just 2 parks and 17 coasters that I have listed that I have listed here. there are over 700 coasters in the US and over 2100 worldwide. ----end---
Excellent. Inflation is a driver but we can easily achieve insurable public transit with flat-track roller-coaster technology for a TINY FRACTION of what the current plan will cost.
But I get it. You gotta spend the money. But I am saying that we could build a roller coaster that goes from midtown to downtown for $100,000,000 and THAT would bring all the boys to the yard.
