The fight for money and power continues in Kansas City as silly season antics hit new lows.
An inconvenient fact dutifully noted by KICK-ASS INSIDERS and graciously sent our way . . .
LOOK CLOSELY AT THE NEW KANSAS CITY BUDGET . . . SNOW REMOVAL IS NOW PART OF POLICE FUNDING IN AN EPIC BIT OF HOLLYWOOD ACCOUNTING AIMED AT SNUBBING MISSOURI REQUIREMENTS!!!
And so . . .
After years of fighting over money and power . . . It seems that 12th & Oak hasn't really learned anything.
Credit where it's due . . . This would be kinda of funny if we weren't talking about services that residents rely upon amid life & death emergencies.
As for "open budget" documentation . . . Our blog community was hoping for a bit more but here's a very sorry excuse for detail offered by Kansas City . . .

One small clue . . . Snow removal is now listed under "governmental activities" and not public works.
But this behind the scenes discussion is soon to become a campaign talking point for several council candidates.
Sure, snow removal is an element of public safety . . . But unless we're talking about strapping plows to police cars (not a horrible idea) then this power move is nothing more than misdirection and yet another indication that KCMO isn't serious about supporting law enforcement, even in the midst of a historic homicide trend.
