Stricter limits imposed on the discourse via social media, in public spaces and now before local government are now seemingly part of the American progressive cultural shift.
Accordingly, here's part of the trend reported by one of the very best readers of this blog . . .
"I noticed that people are now limited to only 1 minute of testimony. That's a drastic cutback from 3 minutes at the start of the pandemic. I guess due the upcoming budget issues they don't want any dissent or objections."
Check the current docket and notice the new rules now in effect.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council. My name is......NEXT!

ReplyDeletelol.
typical of KC. They're not even pretending like the voters matter anymore.
Well, to be fair it only takes a few seconds to tell them they're corrupt, incompetent, parasitic swine.
ReplyDeleteThe insiders who REALLY influence and even control the KCMO budget don't concern themselves with silly rules like this.
ReplyDeleteThey know they can get as much time as they want behind closed doors to be sure their priorities and "needs" are taken care of.
And, if somehow they don't later get what they've been promised, there's always the "recognizing an emergency" shortened spending decision that fills in the gaps.
The city "budget" is just a bunch of pieces of paper.
Nothing has changed for decades.
Democracy dies in darkness.

ReplyDeleteThat's enough time to say "screw you" with a few left over.
Yeah. One can really have deep, meaningful discussions when speaking in one minute increments. Once again the Democrat shitty council demonstrates its contempt for Democracy. And facts. Sad.
ReplyDeleteLikely got tried of listening to same lisping trannies, gays and bicyclist doing their tired ole Karen song and dance routines.
ReplyDeleteUnless you have fried chicken around your neck you cannot keep most of clowncils attention for over a minute. It is a waist attention span ratio issue.
ReplyDelete^^^ A chicken leg necklace! Are you listening KFC?
DeleteGood. The chucklowes get up there and just start babbling about Hugo Chavez and biscuits and shit.
ReplyDeleteNot your pet zoo issues at all, we get it Chimpy.
DeleteMayor lickass with no balls and the black clowncil members were in a hurry to catch the plane to the super bowl no doubt.
ReplyDelete4:03 Thanks. Needed that. ha, ha
ReplyDeleteHey, that's one minute more than we get from Mayor Michelle "E-forgery/Perjury/now on Diversion until she flunks here required drug and alcohol tests during the Super Bowl" Distler in Shawnee! Who does not even attend council meetings. She Zooms from home, while our low experience City Manager with the 25% salary boost, Nolan Sunderman hides down the hall in his office on HIS Zoom screen and refuses to walk into council chambers where the four conservatives actually are in attendance.
ReplyDeleteDistler used to allow 3 minutes. But had a school marm scolding rule, "No IMPERTINENCE!" The only thing missing was a blackboard, and a fine of writing on her blackboard,100 times, "I will not be impertinent".
Welcome to the Oligarchy. Coca Cola just enacted a rule that for all new lawyers, 50% must be black. I kid you not.
^^Back to Parlor Tracy. Your geriatric fucktard has gotten stale. Bye bye now.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see Tracy back!
