THE SCARIEST THING IN KANSAS CITY THIS HALLOWEEN: EPIC PROPERTY TAX BILLS THAT THREATEN TO FORCE LOCALS OUT OF THEIR HOMES!!!
What's worse is that the courthouse didn't follow the rules for how they devised these bills. Check more proof . . .
New worry in Jackson County Assessment as expert suspects data corruption
JACKSON COUNTY, MO (KCTV) - A data expert who has been crunching numbers in the Jackson County assessment says he doesn't trust any of the data and values reached by the assessment department. Preston Smith sits on the county's Board of Equalization and has a background in data management.
factor that in with Caleb's Chevy payments from the county and then maybe.

ReplyDeleteWOW, just WOW.
ReplyDeleteThat's Jackson County for you.
Vote democrat.
ReplyDeleteForget party. Vote competent.
ReplyDelete9:28 the Democrats did this you fool.
ReplyDeleteEvents that are this predictable really aren't terrifying.
ReplyDeleteThey're predictable.
Next up?
The predictable continuing fiasco with the county jail.
Keep re-electing the same clowns and others like them.
Predictable.
I don't know why anyone is surprised. This level of incompetence is typical of government programs. Only a fool or a free rider would want more of it.
ReplyDeleteThey've even managed to wreck their own attempt at rigging this game against property owners.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there is hope for Jackass County and Killer Shitty?
^^^ Doubtful at this point.
ReplyDeleteI just can’t bring myself to live in a county with crooked democrats like Jackson County has. Then you have the morons who vote this type of governance on themselves. It’s like the crowd that shouts in a protest on the street for $15 minimum at McDonalds, and refuses to eat at Chil Fil A (which pays $15 an hour) because of identity politics.
ReplyDeleteNow, the question is.....who will be held accountable? Hmm? Is this not illegal? This went down under Mayor James’s watch. It manifested itself under the James era.
It's a county issue dispshit, not city.
DeleteWe have Fox 4, KMBC, WDAF, the KC Star and KCTV5...Five separate news organizations and KCTV5 is the only one pursuing and looking into this madness
ReplyDeleteWhy is that?
"It's a county issue dispshit, not city."
ReplyDeleteYes dipshit tell us all about how the city isn't connected to this mess.
All ears.
We should all take a moment to appreciate this level of incompetence.
ReplyDeleteChickens come home to roost. Jackson county assessments haven't increased proportional to the value of the homes. Infrastructure is expensive and at some point the invoice needs to be paid. The $4.5 billion water bill is one example of the issues with deferred infrastructure.
ReplyDelete...and the roads and the sidewalks and the curbs and the parks and the
And yet water bills are paying the the cost of deferred water and sewer repairs and the GO bonds are supposed to pay for sidewalks, curbs, etc. Weird.
ReplyDeleteI just hope and pray that all of us REMEMBER this fiasco and NEVER vote for these inept candidates again. His only qualification was that he was a baseball player....geez, why would any of you vote for that!!! Use your vote wisely, its all you have to send a resounding message that we are fed up with this corruption and stupidity!!! Meanwhile, get the hell out of Kansas City until voters make a change!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet this guy is right!
ReplyDeleteShe is sho nuf stupid.
ReplyDeleteFor reference, the GO Bonds are $800 million over 20 years. The estimate for addressing deferred road work is $4 billion without addressing the other infrastructure deficiencies. At some point the citizens of the metro need to take responsibility for the future of the metro and stop blaming everyone else for the issues.
ReplyDeleteOh, Chimpy, the blame goes to your friends--the banana republic styled crooks--always heaping cash on their cronies. Fat piles of taxpayers' funds is still going to b*llsh*t blings instead of necessary things. Funding streetcars, art, hotels, jazz, and bike lanes is just flinging money like it's poo. It stinks!
DeleteThe star sold out the truth is it’s totally out of line and needs fixing pay your bill under protest.
ReplyDelete"At some point the citizens of the metro need to take responsibility for the future of the metro and stop blaming everyone else for the issues."
ReplyDeleteOh you mean city officials get off without any accountability for failing to maintain the city all these decades and decades?
@2:06pm
ReplyDeleteActually most of the metro is doing fine.
That is, if you're talking about the condition and governance other than KCMO, where over 85% of metro residents are smart enough to have decided to live.
Safe neighborhoods, well-maintained streets and sidewalks, good schools, reasonable utility bills, and all the rest.
But your point that citizens need to take responsibility for the future of their community most certainly applies to residents of KCMO.
Maybe start by electing some people who have some appreciation and understanding of basic city government or at least some interest in learning.
When's the next election?
Gail Beatty is fat, stupid and incompetent. Frank is corrupt, stupid and incompetent.
ReplyDelete3:43, They're two of Killa Shitty's most shameless monkeyshining mushbrained charlatans!
Delete2:06: And yet all our money seems to go downtown. Weird. What's to keep new revenue from following the old?
ReplyDeleteRemember: People will vote for higher taxes for good causes-the GO bonds and the library tax being prime examples.
12:19 key words there dummy, “supposed to” we all know where the money is going and it isn’t for existing roads, it’s being spent on new building roads and intersections up north and down south plus the developers downtown gotta have their cut too.
ReplyDeleteAs Kansas City proper goes, so goes the metro. The anchor for the metro is Kansas City, Missouri. Use a few brain cells and follow through with the analogy...
ReplyDeleteThere is cothing in Jackson County that isn't corrupt.
