A bold suggestion, sentiment and news ranking from our blog community that's worthy of this highlight . . .
KCMO is the 54th worst run city in America (or 96th best or the largest 150 cities). KCK is the 28th worst run city in America (or 122nd best of the largest 150 cities).
Any of the city council people running for Mayor should be asked about this regularly...Why are we so bad? And Kander who has the support of every city politico will run KCMO the same way and be beholden to the same group of interest groups. His ties to Sly will ensure that. Anyone on this group will likely defend this by saying "At least we are not as bad as St Louis"
Sadly, the only way to move OFF this list seems to be to move OUT. Citizens will vote by moving to Lee's Summit or Lenexa or Overland Park or Liberty where they can get better services without the ridiculous taxes or politicians.

One improvement would be ethics rules that bar candidates from sending unsolicited bulk e-mail.
ReplyDeleteBeth could fix all of the problems in Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteTeam Slie does not care about this ranking as long as he keeps getting payouts under the table.
ReplyDeleteTaking care of the basics; crime, infrastructure, affordability to live in KCMO, cost of basic services, transparent government, non corrupt city government, competent leaders etc. is the easiest way to improve KCMO.
All Slie cares about is a pie in the sky agenda.
Diana Kander is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOur problem is the negroes. They cause crime and are too dependant on welfare.
ReplyDelete^^^^^^^^+ 100
ReplyDeleteWhat this really tells me...
ReplyDeleteThe problems in KCMO - on par with the rest of modern American society.
Nothing wrong here that you won't find most anywhere else.
Wrong. Our police department is the biggest bunch of pussies and let our criminals run loose. Our prosecutor is worthless. Our mayor is a thief and our city council are thieves too. Our schools don’t even have accreditation. Most of our urban core people are dependent on welfare.
DeleteNo surprise. Sly and the gangs' only solution is to raise taxes, fees, assesments and monetary penalties and then hand out TIFs to their friends.
ReplyDeleteYour Tax Money going down one big black Hole. Spend your money in another Town .When they have less money It will run more efficiently
ReplyDeleteAs Michael Jackson said:
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm bad, I'm bad come on
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
And the whole world has to
Answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad
The last sentence in the post really does sum it up...moving out of the city limits is the easiest way out and why KC is at a disadvantage because we can just move "out of state" by moving one mile to the west. Take a place like Pittsburgh and if you want out, moving out of state isn't a viable option if you want to stay in the metro area, so it's in the citizens best interests to stick around and make it a better place.
ReplyDeleteTalk about George Jackson instead of Michael.
ReplyDeleteSet. Fire to the prisons!
ReplyDeleteWalletHub is stupid if they think we are only the 54th worst run city. We’re top 5 for sure.
ReplyDeleteHow did I know this was going to be from that tower of clickbait knowledge, WalletHub?
ReplyDeleteA charity plan to raise money and get all of the Black Ghetto Ridden "THUGS" pushed out of the city. Oh and remove all section 8 and bring back the paper coupons for food stamps. Just a small favor to ask? Ideas?????? Anyone????????
ReplyDeleteMore virtue-signalling ! KCMO doesn't have near enough virtue-signalling ! More female police officers (that'll show those murdering drug dealers) ! More awards for Blacks when they're able to so much as tie their shoes (and the expensive awards ceremonies to go with them)!More murals depicting blacks and browns being...well, just wonderful ! More faggotry ! We're falling way behind other cities in transvestite hiring in our elementary schools ! More Communist worship (where's our statue of Karl Marx ?) ! More affirmative action/diversity-inclusion/set-asides for, well ...anyone who's not a White male ! More public Jewish ass-kissing ! Big Sonia Day--needs to be Big Sonia Month ! More Black Leadership ! Still more Black Leadership !
ReplyDeletekander must kow-tow for now. but he’d be a better leader. it not, he won’t have the political he aspires to.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, we have too many faggot queers and lesbians too. That drains the energy right out of the city because they want special attention.
ReplyDeletefor the record, peope who live in kansas suburbs do want kcmo to succeed and get its act together.
ReplyDeleteOf course you do. You want to go to the sports complex, the new airport, Sprint Center and more. And it doesn’t cost you a penny.
DeleteRemove all blacks from the city and we would be the bestus City ever
ReplyDeleteIt would also help KC if Irrelevant Terra Loar would stop drinking. Most people would switch to chilled white wine on a hot day like today. Not Teresa, though. She’s drinking the Merlot like Gatorade.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were all drunks, how could you betray the public like they do and not be a boozer?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Wallethub in 2015 Kansas City was the 5th worst run city. Did the proofreader screw up or fall asleep?
ReplyDeleteThe booze explains a lot about the disastrous decisions our local politico's make.

KC's problems stem from their insatiable appetite to gobble up land, and their total inability to provide even the most basic of services. They constantly complain about the number of square miles they must monitor, but they also can't figure out how to come up with roads, bridges, sidewalks, utility lines, streets, etc., for all this land. If you only have a hamburger stomach capacity, don't try to swallow steak with all the trimmings. Let the areas most recently gobbled up de-annex from KCMO. Problem solved.
ReplyDeleteToo many know it attorneys (Quinton Lucas for one) on council and the biggest idiot of them all- the city manager. He will some day be shown as a modern day Pendergast. All that cash to the hotel developer. Wanting a “Swiss cheese” free look for the airport developer. Many are missing the point. Our city looks terrible to those on the outside looking into KCMO. That means allot for lack of true economic development. And yes Teresa Loar is a sad drunk.
ReplyDeleteYup! And KC could not even find itself shortlisted for Amazon HQ2, but our peer cities were!!! We have a global telecom headquarters, we are on the Tech Week rotation, we were first with Google fiber - and we could not get shortlisted??!!!!!! The city manager was never committed to it and the mayor made an absolute fool of himself and embarrassed the city. Don’t let anyone tell you different we ARE cowtown.
ReplyDeleteTroy Shulte is a clown and totally incompetent, as is most of his staff. Bought and paid for by development lawyers!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the prospects for KC would improve if Tony and most of those commenting on this site skipped town.
ReplyDelete"What this really tells me...
ReplyDeleteThe problems in KCMO - on par with the rest of modern DEMOCRAPEC RUN American society.
Nothing wrong here that you won't find IN ALL most DEMOCRAPIC anywhere else.

2:38 PM NEED TO CHANGE YOUR ABOVE SENTENCE AS CAPS
Of the top 20 murder cities, 18 are Democrapic administrations.
Kill all the negroes. Easy enough.
