TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! COUNCIL DEMANDS CITY MANAGER TROY SCHULTE CONDUCT QUARTERLY CONVERSATION WITH KANSAS CITY SMALL BIZ!!!
KCMO is one of the most unfriendly places toward small biz in the metro . . . Here's a local effort from a Northland Council dude to try and remedy this lingering bit of horrible branding.
Take a look:
RESOLUTION NO. 180624 - Directing the City Manager to convene a quarterly forum with small businesses who conduct business with the City directly or as subcontractors, including engineering firms and construction contractors, for the purpose of discussing and resolving obstacles to conducting such business.
Will it work???
You decide . . .
Listening to Schulte, or the mayor or council for that matter, once a quarter is probably a really good idea.
ReplyDeleteThat way the small local business people who attend will know specifically what lies and empty promises are made and have a better chance of contrasting that to what actually happens to them later.
Like endlessly increasing sales taxes.
Hundreds of millions of city subsidies for their large out-of-town competitors.
Business regulations that cater to one special interest or another, unnecessarily add to the cost of doing business, and completely lack any practical business sense.
Ignoring practical services important to business like good streets and sidewalks, storm water management, and reasonable utility costs.
And all the rest.
But don't worry. After the quarterly dog-and-pony show, Go4KC will run around and try to excuse away the mess.
It never changes.
Why listen to Schulte? He lies every time he speaks.
ReplyDeleteKcpl electric who provides service to Missouri and kansas customers..bought westar energy for 12 billion dollars. Big meeting held last week about kcpl wanting rate increase. Meeting revealed kcpl allegedly gouging customers . Lots of folks stated regardless if cutting usage and even using solar panels outrageous electric bills. Kcpl wants 24 million increase 24 million dollar based on customer base rate increase would end up allegedly being over 1000000 million dollars a year kcpl alleged charging customers a late fee on timely paid bills stating money not in their hands right then. ...terry bassham ceo of kcpl signed off on 4 hundred million dollar mortgage bonds due in April 2019 with big banks.. folks believe this is why they want rate increases.. got to pay back with 7.15 interest..lies and increases won't fly..allegedly bonds rated poorly by moody and standard and poors...wow
