Kansas City Mayor Q Declares New KCI Victory Before Grand Opening

There's a long way to go before we know that THE BIGGEST CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN KANSAS CITY HISTORY is successful or one of the many reasons why this town his quickly moving toward bankruptcy.

For instance, let's remember just a few foibles which have already creative lifelong enemies across the metro. . .

- There was a union beef so bitter that local civil rights leaders had to metaphorically dig up Emmett Till's corpse and use it for political leverage. 

- Don't forget national debate over controversial and likely sticky  "all gender" bathrooms.

- Another worthwhile headline omitted in service of hype: FAA investigation finds “significant compliance deficiencies” on hiring of women and minorities for $1.5B KCI airport project.

- The local restaurant & concession bidding hot mess has garnered a great many unhappy people and NO LOCAL BBQ representation.

- Finally, our friend Clay Chastain summed up the new airport perfectly when it noted that "it's just a big, ugly, parking lot."

For these reasons and so many more . . .

We're not ready to do a touchdown dance just yet.

Typically, Mayor Q seems just a bit more optimistic . . .

You decide . . .
