TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY INSIDER: 311 IS A JOKE!!!



The upcoming Kansas City GO Bond campaign promises infrastructure repair in exchange for nearly a half century of increased taxes. However, KICK-ASS INSIDERS offer proof that commitments from City Hall don't really mean much.

To wit . . .

WITH SPECIAL THANKS TO THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST OF OUR TKC BLOG COMMUNITY . .. TAKE A LOOK AT LONGSTANDING 311 COMPLAINTS REVELING SO MANY BROKEN KCMO PROMISES OF LOCAL REPAIR!!!

In journalism circles, "data driven research" is the new buzzword but fun facts are useless if they don't serve to challenge, change or impact the status quo.

Background: 311 is residents' connection for City services and information. Contact 311 to report a problem, request a service, or ask a question about a city service. Accordingly, here's the word on Kansas City wait times for action using this line . . .



"Explore this map, clicking on the green dots north and south. Note how old some of these 311 reports are that are unresolved. Why even offer the service if you're not going to do anything?"

Just a quick glimpse will note many wait times from 2013 and a few 2011 dates coming up as well. 

Again, for the cheap seats, here's why this research is important . . .



Kansas City currently has residents hanging on YEARS for improvements, upgrades and repairs around their neighborhoods . . . This pattern is unlikely to change much if locals pass GO BONDS . . . The only thing that will differ is that residents will be paying an even higher price to wait around for KCMO services.

You decide . . .

  1. the past two years has been based on a huge "trust me" campaign.

    The arrogance is almost admirable if it didn't cost KC so much money.

    2. great city, lousy leadership. this is whey more and more people are moving to the suburbs and not downtown. They know that there's not future if the current management continues to run the city into the ground.

  2. Actually, more people are moving Downtown, as in every other large city. Just think how many more would if the city was well run!!

    Goodbye, Sly !!!!!

  5. How anyone can look at that bow tie-wearing turd and not see what a grifter he is baffles me. KCMO is a mess between the crime, the schools and infrastructure/city services yet its residents follow this guy's agenda like sheep.

  6. what's going on is expectations that are so low have been accepted as just being the way it is.

    someday, a competent leadership will look like heroes by just doing a little better.

    that's how giuliani transformed new york.

    really, he simply improved the police and much of the growth and invigorated spirit followed.

    the same could be done here someday.

  7. Mayor Sly, the only momentum I see in Kansas City is the swirling downward effect of a town soon to be bankrupt and no longer the great city it once was. I want to thank you for trying to deliver the killer blow that destroys it. I hope you and your political party are proud of the devastating effect you have had on Kansas City.

  8. Anyone who lives in KCMO or has interest is a joke. KCMO (especially east of Troost) really should just be used as a landfill for JOCO and any qualifying suburbs.

  9. Why should the electeds at 12th and Oak care about the 311 system?
    It's used only by residents who are looking for basic services, not for anything important.
    The insiders, urban futurists, developer attorneys, campaign contributors, grifters, and others who really count and gethigh priority and great attention from Sly and the gang NEVER call in through 311.
    They just head for the 22nd and 29th floors and get whatever they want.
    Frosty.
