Mayor Q & Council Presided Over Bloodiest Years in Kansas City History

As we head into the upcoming election voters, residents and so many other denizens of the discourse might ask themselves a simple question . . . 

What have Mayor Q & his colleagues accomplished???

From our perspective . . . This fact stands above all others: 

MAYOR Q & COUNCIL HAVE GOVERNED DURING ONE OF THE WORST KILLING SPREES IN THE HISTORY OF KANSAS CITY & DEADLY CRIME CONTINUES TO ESCALATE!!!

Meanwhile . . .

We don't see much urgency addressing this crisis . . . Most days the latest murder is casually reported and even this "season of vigils" goes by without any real political consequences. 

Meanwhile . . . 

KCMO politicos are campaigning on freebie rent and culture war chatter with the help of a dark money activist group and smallish gang of mercenaries wearing yellow t-shirts.

Sadly, even the topic of crime is treated cynically like a rhetorical hot potato. 

The current killing spree is played off by Mayor Q & his allies as a gun safety issue wherein blame can be cast toward the GOP majority in Jeff City. 

The clever rhetorical infinite loop prevents any real progress and alienates culpability.

Meanwhile . . . People keep dying. 

Of course . . . There are a lot of other issues to consider and vote on . . . We won't deny anyone their pet cause. 

Still . . . 

Mayor Q and his colleagues deserve to be held accountable for their role in governing during the ongoing Kansas City homicide crisis.

They presided over a massacre and the only argument from this governing body has been directed at police governance and funding; placing politics, power & money far ahead of human toll on the street level.

Sadly . . . So many local newsies and non-profit advocacy groups posing as journalists are paid to promote their political allies rather than ask tough questions or raise inconvenient facts before an election.

You decide . . .
