Follow-up on a recent discussion that will enforce YET ANOTHER SALES TAX on local residents.
As the national political discourse once again confronts discussion about facts, evidence and bias . . . Here's just a bit of guidance from Kansas City's top elected official at City Hall . . .
At 1:42, Mayor James says, "There’s no way that you can tell me, regardless of what study you may cite...”
Take a look:
You decide . . .
Sly doesn't need facts. He just wants money.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Patsy doesn't deal in facts all that much either.
ReplyDeletesLIE fighting hard for his developer money
ReplyDeleteFacts don't matter in KCMO that's obvious.
ReplyDeleteI want Pats gig. Sit around, write some shit, show up once in a while to these things or a local tv show. Collect checks.
ReplyDeleteSo what was accomplished besides nothing
ReplyDeleteWhats Pre K?
ReplyDeleteSlie doesn't know facts when he sees them. That's a fact.
ReplyDeleteFacts always get in the way of developers and their government conduits. See: Streetcars and airport terminals.
ReplyDeletePre K didn't enhance my daughters intelligence much. Nothing a $15,000 "charitable donation" couldn't fix though.

ReplyDeleteSly's head is shaped like a football and his smile like a the court jester.

Our existing system of public education is designed to indoctrinate first and educate second. Pre-K has more to do with the former than the latter.
ReplyDeletesLIE’s an idiot
ReplyDeleteSYLVESTER'S SONG AND DANCE SHOW
ReplyDeleteDid he burst out singing at any point?
Sylvester always resorts to shouting and bully tactics when he's outsmarted and outmaneuvered.
Patrick Tuohey brings the hard facts and cited references, while Sylvester brings the drama.
During his first year in office, James publicly said that the state of KCMO's infrastructure was worse than he had realized. So did he concentrate on infrastructure like streets, sidewalks, bridges, water/sewer, safe neighborhoods? No he did not.
He's concentrated instead on non-basic essentials like the ToyTrain, Swope Park festivals, building Burns and McDonnell a new headquarters, an unnecessary convention hotel, and an unnecessary replacement airport terminal.
So far Clay is hitting the notes of change better than any of the other candidates. They want to play it safe, which means Clay should get the share of voters who are not so enamored with posing by Sly and his mediocre entourage.
ReplyDeleteThe machine may want Jolie, but the people are not so pleased with the stinking machine. Wouldn't be a bad time to start cleaning the entire city house. Too much time in place in Leawood, Overland Park, Cleaver. Get some new energy and lets reduce some of the entrenched more of the same locked in status quo dysfunction. And shake up a lot of the non profit bureaucracies too, some of them are so low impact and inbred.
Clay will show us they way...
