Last year she earned top honors as Kansas Citian of the year and now some of the media used to celebrate her legacy is making it's way down to the plebs.
Accordingly, here's a video featuring a CAVALCADE OF TOP RANKING KANSAS CITY POWER PLAYERS singing the praises of the "Downtown Renaissance" architect. Take a look:
You decide . . .
Kay Barnes, Patron Saint of Kansas City's "KU Grad Drunk Tank"!
ReplyDeleteKay is incredibly stupid but she was still a better mayor than Carwash Cleaver or Lardass Sly James.
ReplyDeleteKay Barnes, Patron Saint of tax incentives for the Plaza, Briarcliff, and Power and Light. She lit the way for the toot toot, one through ninety-nine Light, and every other hare-brained idea to get people to move downtown. All hail Give-It-Away Kay!
ReplyDeleteInsult her all you want, but Barnes saved downtown and made it better than ever. It was a dead, blighted mess--now look. We all owe her a big thank you. Barnes saved this city. What did Funkhouser do--he embarrassed us. Sly--meh.
ReplyDeleteAre You Not Entertained?
ReplyDeleteBarnes saved this city.
ReplyDeleteOh really? That's funny.
Actually @7:49, what @7:21 said was that she "saved Downtown", and in all fairness she turned it from a run-down mess with desperate Convention-goers wandering around trying to find someplace to get a meal into a run-down mess with desperate Convention-goers wandering around trying to avoid hobos and drunken slobs staggering out of the P&L Drunk Tank.
ReplyDeleteWhat did she actually do to deserve the honor of 2018 Kansas Citian of the year?
ReplyDeleteNuthin'
Just don’t name a street after Barnes, i already named a portapotty after her and I have one reserved for slie.
ReplyDelete^^well thanks but we'll do what we want. Your thoughts won't be considered.
ReplyDeleteIt’s easier & more fun to attend a ribbon cutting than it is to cut multi million dollar checks year after year when project revenues fall short of the payments due. Why honor the grinning ribbon cutter who partly created the budget albatross e.g. power & light subsidized drinking district.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Radish
Barnes did save this city after cleaver did everything to try and turn us into baltimore or st louis. Not saying she's great, but she's like fucking Franklin Roosevelt compared this all the other bullshit we've had
ReplyDeleteFor those who think Kay saved KC you have no doubt proven just how clueless about things you are. The downtown area is a turd. It's a cluster fuck of streets and inerstate with too much crap jammed in where ever a empty corner could be found. You can gold plate a turd, but it will always be a turd.
ReplyDelete^^and you sound like a retard.
ReplyDelete^^ No ya douchebag it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteSo, educate us all on how best to revitalize the city, there, 10:53...then again, please don't :-)
ReplyDelete^^Glad you asked retard. First stop complaining on blogs all day. That is it.
ReplyDeleteKay Barns panties only come in one size. They fit Sly.
ReplyDeleteBarnes sold Kansas City out to East coast development lawers. Plain and simple. Gave away the tax base and extracted what value there was for normal financiers and kicked the can down the road. Now we are down the road after a mayor who couldn’t get the council to act on the tax rape development scams and now another trying to mirror what she did and still just kicking the can the road.
ReplyDeleteTerrible mayor.
