The outcry from locals over the mayor's new pandemic crackdown has been overwhelming and impacted not only his popularity but also his ability to govern.
Real talk: The Mayor kneecapping local small biz has been one of the most devastating economic moves in modern Kansas City history and part of an effort that has inspired a political vendetta among local restaurant owners.
To wit . . .
THE KANSAS CITY RESTAURANT APOCALYPSE HAS FORCED MAYOR Q TO QUICKLY DEVISE A SKETCHY PLAN TO SAVE FACE AMID SMALL BIZ COLLAPSE!!!
The reality is that most people aren't expecting much from this move but it does signal how deeply frustrated residents have become with the lack of leadership from city hall.
Fun fact . . . Somewhere, your council member is hiding under a desk.

Fox4: KC Mayor Lucas to propose relief for service industry, small businesses amid pandemic
Deets:
"Mayor Quinton Lucas is set to announce a proposal aimed at providing financial relief for businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic."
Anything short of pushing back the curfew won't really help.
UPDATE . . .
AND IT'S NOTHING!!! MAYOR Q PROPOSES SMALL DISCOUNT AMID EPIC KANSAS CITY COVID-19 RESTAURANT DISASTER!!!
Barely worth mentioning but we will if only to highlight the current local biz tragedy underway . . .
KMBC: KC Mayor proposes review of fees for service industry, locally owned businesses impacted by COVID-19
Deets . . .
"The proposal directs the Kansas City Manager to review all annual licensing fees for the Kansas City service industry and small, locally owned businesses, and to identify fees eligible for deferral, reduction or waiver for establishments that remain in full compliance with Kansas City’s Emergency COVID-19 Order, as enforced by Kansas City government."
Again, now that we know a bit more, we ask readers . . .
Will it work???
You decide . . .
the mayor wants to put us all on welfare.
ReplyDeletewhat a great plan.
No thanks.
^^^
DeleteNot welfare, hopefully stimulus that businesses need. Idiot.
Will it be enough to bring two dozen restaurants back to life?
DeleteProbably not.
Sorry.
12:20 thinks we just print money! Yay!
DeleteThat's not true??? Say it isn't so!
DeleteDear Mayor: I think the well is dry, stop making promises you cannot possibly keep! Or. Better yet, when will the residents of this city stop listening to him? His tenure is already over!
ReplyDeleteHow about some relief for the tax payers who art suffering under bad road a bad water bills and sad city services.
ReplyDeleteI smell a scam! He can say it’s for small businesses but the reality is it’s more money for developers, toy train and the jazz district.
ReplyDeleteI guarantee it.
He's flailing desperately to get his dictatorship back above water. Damn this is fun to watch now that I'm not in the mess! Y'all got three more years of him. I don't. 😏🍿
ReplyDeleteService fee discount.
ReplyDeleteThat's it.
Really?
That's the plan.
What a shame.
Sorry Lucas, never voting for you again.
^^^
ReplyDeleteWhat have you done lately?
Any discount will help this is a good move for the mayor.
ReplyDeleteNothing but complainers on this blog. They don't own businesses, they do nothing but gripe and watch faux news all day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mayor McDrinkerson! Now, get back to work.
DeleteMayor Quinton Lucas deserves so much credit for this, he is absolutely working in the best interests of Kansas City and his plan is one of the most innovative I've seen any Midwestern City put forth.
ReplyDeleteReally proud that he's my mayor and he's thinking about how we can all make it through this thing together. Safely.
The businesses should do the right thing to stay safe and they should follow the rules. That is the only way we can beat COVID-19 and get things back to normal.
We are all making sacrifices and KC showing the rest of the nation how to get back to work safely.
Thank you Mayor Lucas!

DeletePaid hack.
Works at City Hall.
Just want those who don't read this blog regularly to know that.
Go4kc. So what you’re saying is, since he drove over his neighbors dog, you want to praise him for taking it to the vet
DeleteYou're a silly, empty mouthpiece for a failed public official who is so far out of his depth he can't see the shore. You are your own parody. Congrats!
DeleteHe took it to the vet after he had anal sex with it.
ReplyDeleteThis plan from the mayor is a bribe and it's an insult.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting.
Never voting for Lucas again.
Is KCI closed at 10 pm and are airplanes grounded at 10 pm?
ReplyDeleteWHO IS QUINTON LUCAS REALLY WORKING FOR?
ReplyDeleteWE'LL TELL YOU IN PART 3 OF "FAIRY TALES WITH QUINTON LUCAS"
COMING TO A TKC BLOG SITE NEAR YOU, SOON
Professor McDrinkerson! Go back and teach intro to something in a safe, tenured environment. Your lack of effectiveness and qualifications won't matter a bit in academia.
ReplyDelete1:28 I do operate a business in KC and if you hate my complaining how about you not reading it. You're the one who probably has no stake in anything around here.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you expect from a Mayor who is in no way invested in Kansas City. No skin off his back when we all fail. Lucas will just move on and fuck something else up in another location.
2:43 you are right on!
ReplyDeleteQ is the worst
ReplyDeleteThey Taking back that McHomie 200 Million and distributing it between People that went broke while he lived Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous ? Sheep, you are Sheep.
ReplyDeleteOh gee thanks Lucas, I'll tell my banker what a great huge ass loser you are and the one responsible for putting out of business and in extreme debt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for nothing from a huge nobody that has no business being a Mayor.
This Mayor is running all the white business owners out so all his BLM friends can then move in with getting tax payer money I and others paid to help them take over and reopen our places.
"This Mayor is running all the white business owners out so all his BLM friends can then move in with getting tax payer money I and others paid to help them take over and reopen our places."
ReplyDeleteI work for a small business (white-owned if that makes any difference to you), and we are doing well. Like, all employees making six-figures well. Maybe you are not cut out to be a business owner. Perhaps you should have gone to a trade school.
ReplyDeleteSo if restaurant owners are good and don't get in trouble with the totalitarian plan, Lucas will waive their licence fee????? ROFL You have got to be kidding? Is he really that stupid?
Yes. He should be grading papers somewhere. As a Mayor he's a transparent failure who literally gets worse every week.
DeleteIt will take over a Billion dollars in Grant money not loans. Half of the Businesses are gone .They don't want A loan. That is what happens when you elect a far LEFTY for Mayor and City council. BLUE K.C.
ReplyDelete^^^^
ReplyDelete@3:19 nailed it.
Glad more people understand what this is.
I believe that the words Nasty Pelousy uses for approaches like this is "crumbs." 😏🍿
ReplyDeleteKeep going Q Ball. I got money on your implosion.
