Right now, check this quick City Hall financial note that deserves attention as Kansas City struggles to cope with the rising murder count.
Over the years Aim4Peace has endured quite a bit of criticism because of their crime prevention reporting methodology and political affiliations. Still the group continues to earn widespread support from the civic elite despite any real evidence that they've helped to curb the rate of local violent crime.
This week we notice another example of the group's fundraising success in a City Hall ordinance . . .
#170450: Authorizing the acceptance and approval of a one-year $150,000.00 grant award agreement with the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City for the Aim4Peace program.
Accordingly . . .
LIKE IT OR NOT, KANSAS CITY KEEPS FUNDING THE SAME ANTI-VIOLENCE PROGRAMS THAT DON'T SEEM TO WORK YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!
Aim4Peace is a longstanding effort that began in 2008 and focuses on conflict resolution, employment and picnics to achieve their goals as the program has earned MILLIONS in funding while the number of murders continues to rise.

It's not bad "work" if you can get it.
ReplyDeleteThat's party money
ReplyDeleteAnother black hole.
ReplyDeleteAim yo' piece!
ReplyDeleteNow that's funny right there!
ReplyDeletePrograms that don't seem to work? That exactly what we need, morer programs that don't work. Do you know how many hood rats are being killed becasue thankfully these programs don't work. We want even more hood rats shot and killed, the more the better. Keep up the shitty work, Aim for Piece! Great job, maybe we can get to 200 hood rats killed this yeaer. Thank you so much for not doing a god damn think.
ReplyDeleteMore thugs killing thugs. Nobody can stop it at least not some worthless organization like this.
ReplyDeleteKCMO = only city in the nation that's incapable of managing their own police department.
ReplyDeleteIf that weren't a bad enough distinction, they then attempt to subcontract out the control of crime to groups like NOVA.
All of this occurs while the city is heading toward bankruptcy because City Hall doesn't have the guts to rein in public safety spending, which is breaking their budget year after year.
You sound stupid and really don't know what your talking about . Kansas City has one of the best bond ratings in country for a metro city. Most public safety / fire and police are the biggest item on all city budgets if u think u can name a city try. And #3 the whole country has had a spike in crime. The only way u stop crime is sterelize people.Its funny a country built by criminals who refused to follow British law now wants the country to follow the law. Gtfoh
Delete2:52 nailed it.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Waste of money.
ReplyDeleteHow about a half a million in Over-time for do nothing Police Chief.
ReplyDeleteWho says crime does not pay? The so-called anti-crime groups is a growth industry, worth $millions.
ReplyDeleteWe need more density. That will reign in City Halls history of throwing away money hoping something sticks.
ReplyDeleteI be a community activist. So I be paid? Drive me a escolate?
ReplyDeleteSo somewhere in the East side someone has a couple of new Escalates. That money is gone gone.
ReplyDeleteAs long as they continue to do nothing to prevent black on black murders, keep funding these worthless fuckers. We need to double or triple the amount of black on black murders
ReplyDeleteHow come no blacks are on here supporting Aim4Peace? I realise most of them are illiterate but you would think some of them would have words of support.
ReplyDeleteBecause they let liberal whites do their work for them
DeleteGive them guns so they can keep killing each other. Once they are all gone then we can live in peace.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see an audit of what all the money they receive is actually used for.
ReplyDeleteEver happen. It would embarrass the black community and that is politically incorrect
DeleteNever happen. It would embarrass the black community and that is politically incorrect
DeleteKansas City does not have a good credit rating. It's consistantly considered one of the worst run cities in the country. It also is known for its high murder rate. There's only 450k people here and has the same murder numbers as some cities with over a million people. You do not know what you're talking about. Just look at Moody's rating of the last bonds...."negative". They were affirmed negative in February and the stupid voters voted for them in April. https://www.moodys.com/credit-ratings/Kansas-City-City-of-MO-credit-rating-600002788
ReplyDeleteKanasa city is a joke.
that how the COMMUNIST LIBERALS work, funneling Money to phony bogus groups that don't really do anything,,,
ReplyDeleteyou can bet Mayor Sly James and Commie Jean Peters Baker are all for it too !!!!
As an example of a program that does not work and has never worked, I give you the D.A.R.E. program.
ReplyDeleteKansas City used to have a very high bond rating in the 60's and 70's, when Jack Urie was the Finance Director. He established many financial practices still used by responsible governments all over the country. He had a national reputation. Nowadays, things are different. That reputation has been destroyed, and Kansas City is just a few years behind Chicago and Detroit and gaining fast.
