Show-Me Fact Checking Kansas City Mayor Sly Airport Borrowing Doublespeak!!!



Let's take a look at a clear cut example of a Kansas City politico flying fast and loose with the facts.

Mayor Sly James has repeatedly claimed that the city cannot take money from the airport.

To wit . . .

IN BLACK AND WHITE THE CITY'S BUDGET REVEALS THAT KCMO HAS CONSISTENTLY BORROWED FROM THE AIRPORT . . . EVEN UNDER MAYOR SLY'S TENURE!!!

Today the Show-Me guys call him on it:

Kansas City Repays Money It Says It Cannot Take

Money line:

"The city borrowed money from the airport in 2010. Then, during this mayor’s tenure, the city renegotiated the debt to extend the life of the loan to 2016."

It's printed in the city's budget but newsies don't like contradicting the Mayor when he gets going despite this clear cut example of a lack of accounting for the city's finances.

  1. Just ease up on the school girl pics and the ones where chicks are pushing their boobs together and the pics that suggest exploiting and humiliating women is okay and we'll be fine.

  2. That's minor, look at the money Troy has stolen, I mean borrowed from the water department and never paid it back. I think his term is write it off! Have they fired him yet!

  3. And some KCMO "leaders" still can't figure out why no other local governments will have anything to do with them.
    Let's hear all the whining about all the "amenities" surrounding communities take advantage of.
    Please.
    Behavior has consequences, and as long as KCMO voters keep electing the same kinds of clowns, they're going to have to pay the bills themselves.

    ""The city borrowed money from the airport in 2010. Then, during this mayor’s tenure, the city renegotiated the debt to extend the life of the loan to 2016?"

    Its time to send Troy and the Fat Bowtie packing :( Actually all of the councilpeople should get booted for this.

    Time and time again these politicos misapproriate our money.

    And the feckless voters send them back.

    ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!

    And these bozos want us to trust them to tax and spend a few billion more fir an unnecessary airport teardown and replacement?

    Memo to the feckless citizens: Stop the Fat Bowtie and friends and save our city.

    Even you Yael... time for you to turn the siren in. Like the old days... when you meant something to this city. As opposed to now, where you are just a name scribbled on a oaycheck with the blood of all the KC Star staffers fired before you. Anything to get yourself paid, eh Yael?

    Shame on you Yael :(

  12. If they spend a billion at KCI, they won't have cash available to loan anymore as it will be tied up in debt payments. So mayor has to get money elsewhere, aka taxes.

    That is how non-flying taxpayers get hit with the KCI folly.

  13. Lol @ the words "show-me institute" and "fact" appearing in the same sentence.

    Oh, you suddenly got a handle on "facts" now, do you, Paddy?

    Hahahaha. Cute.
