Politico ran a scorcher of a story about Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley this week. Headlined "GOP golden boy mails it in," it made the Republican U.S. Senate candidate out to be a lazy, preening poser who pumps iron and shops for wine in the middle of the day.

Downtown Kansas City's dominant skyline
This week's postcard was published by the R.B. Harness Greeting Card Company of Kansas City, Mo. The view is described as the "Business Section of Kansas City" and seems to have been taken from near Truman Road and Oak Street, just south of the then-new City Hall and Jackson County Courthouse.

ReplyDeleteTif only helps the rich and steals from the poor
ReplyDeleteAlways had problems with TIF, especially as we use it around here...
ReplyDelete1) One definition of a "blighted area" used by TIF is that it "does not achieve it's economic potential" - why doesn't anyone use TIF funding to tear down a City Hall and put up a Parking Lot so as to achieve a greater economic potential?
2) In KCMO the mayor-appointed TIF Commission is dominated by the City. Why isn't there EQUAL representation on the Commission from EACH Tax-supported Entity? Why is KCMO allowed to give away County, School, Library and other funding?
Doesn't the American tradition of "No taxation without representation" imply "no Tax Handouts to Developers without EQUAL representation"?
I personally believe strongly in Capitalism - if it makes economic sense, it'll happen! Even without TIF and the potential for corruption it brings.
Now KCMO will have a Downtown Bike Loop in addition to the toy train loop.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't get any better than that.
every time i return to this town, i am just given more reasons to hate it.
