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 . . .
