The Arts in Kansas City Have a Friend in Mayor Quinton Lucas - KC STUDIO
KC Studio: In your opinion, how important are the arts in defining the image of Kansas City and our quality of life here? Mayor Lucas: Art is what makes this community special. I think KC without the arts is like barbecue without the sauce.
Dear god, more taxpayer money down the toilet

So get in the line on the 29th floor at 12th and Oak!
And be sure to bring your own bag for the money.
It's going to be a very long four years for KCMO residents and taxpayers.
Um taxpayers should not be supporting artists period.
ReplyDeleteGays love the arts. So why would you expect Closet Queen Lucas to be any different?
ReplyDeleteSo sQuint's a sauce man?
