Talk of the town this week from the GOLD STANDARD of community discourse.
Description:
"Mike Shanin talks to KC Water Director Terry Leeds about rising water rates and sewer infrastructure. Ron Freeman, Mary O'Halloran, Steve Mirakian and Patrick McInerney discuss efforts to pay tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. by renaming The Paseo, Kevin Yoder's chances for reelection in the 3rd District race in Kansas and recent suggestions that the 2nd Amendment should be repealed."
Take a look:
You decide . . .
Terry Leeds promises double digit rate increases. Remember that if you are planning on buying a home in Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually going to be worse than that.

DeleteDoes anyone really think there is going to be an actual discussion and consideration given to renaming a street after MLK? Sly and the council do whatever they want as long as there is money, influence or something of value in it for them. New airport, toy train, TIF's, 18th & vine, water rates, etc, etc etc.
ReplyDeletePASEO NAME CHANGE
ReplyDeleteThis is only a current KC issue because a black urban church leader is using it to rally his flock, raise his profile, and gain political power.
If honoring MLK with a street is important, why has it taken 50 years to do it? I think that answers itself.
McInerney, O'Halloran, and Mirakian are afraid to tell the truth on this silly issue.
If honoring MLK with a street is important, why haven't McInerney (Leawood), O'Halloran (Prairie Village), and Mirakian (Mission Hills) lobbied for their Kansas city of residence to do so? Hypocrites!
Case closed. Paseo already has a name, and it doesn't need to be changed.
^^White men have decided that MLK doesn't deserve to have a street named after him.
