Check another Kansas City legal battle in progress . . .
KANSAS CITY STREETCAR OPPOSITION HAS FILED AN APPEAL IN THEIR TOY TRAIN LAWSUIT!!!!
The deet . . .
"Lee's Summit lawyer Mark Bredemeier announced on Tuesday that his clients would seek to appeal a Jackson County judge's decision earlier this year to dismiss their lawsuit, which challenged whether the streetcar's funding mechanism was legal."
More from the KC Biz Journal:
"Although it is uncertain how the appeal will be received in the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, it is certain that the renewed legal action will prevent Kansas City from issuing any of the $73.5 million in bonds the city needs to finance the $102 million, 2.2-mile Main Street streetcar project."
Mayor Sly says the City has won in court three times . . . Whick kinda means he isn't really keeping track.
Developing . . . .
KC expands youth programs on summer weekends.
ReplyDeleteMaybe kids can dig ditches for the toy train.
Obstructionist, anti-democratic frivolity.
ReplyDeletePlease move the fuck out, LawSue Burke and Stretch the Truth. You are in the way and out of touch.
Let's hope this will finally derail the toy train that the citizens do not want. And City Hall will then turn their attention to more wasteful adventures; new KCI, convention hotel, & certainly Sly has some more up his sleeve.
ReplyDeleteIt would appear that the City will have to refund & suspend collecting the 1-cent sales tax until the litigation is settle. Finally some good news for residents.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone working on a petition for a city wide vote to end this? I'd sign.
ReplyDeleteyes clay is
ReplyDeleteTo really stop this non-sense, you need a citizen petition that say KCMO cannot spend anymore money on trains without the full vote of the city. That would have them stop stealing money from the busses, public works, or wherever they are stealing it from.
ReplyDeleteWhy do we need a petition from residents. Should it really just be property owners and out-of-towners who get to decide. Just because someone lives here doens't give them the right to vote if it means businesses don't get the final say no matter where they're from.
ReplyDeleteThank god Filter Queen, the Fake Philly Kid, and 6 anonymous internet trolls from JoCo are caring and righteous enough to try to stop the OVERHWHELMING majority of voters in the district (and the majority of people who live in the actual, not northland, city, too) from having their votes count.
ReplyDeleteThank absentee landlords and suburban meddling parasites. You've set the inexorable progress of the future back 2 or 3 months...until this lawsuit gets laughed out of court too, since its unAmerican, undemocratic, and destructive to the city and its future.
There's going to be a streetcar here. Sorry you are so scared of even minimal progress in KC. Maybe you should move to a transit free boomtown paradise like Tulsa or Topeka, so you can be around people more like you who share you fear, stupidity and penchant for lost causes.
@2:12 351 yes votes do not constitute a majority of all registered voters in the TDD. You are so wrong.
