Never even comes close to carrying its lug, just sucks cash away from other areas of town. Thanks, Kay and Steve!<br /> <br />And as far as the $800 million in GO Bonds, where's the Beef?<br />The Bonds are being sold, selling slow, but selling, and the proceeds seem to be vanishing into thin air! No projects announced, planned or even speculated about. "Self-supporting" Airports anyone?<br /><br />And you're right, I've never been to a concert at Sprint Center. Wasn't into 80's Disco the first time around, not into Rap, Hip Hop or Country, and if I want to watch Dinosaurs cavort, I'll stream Jurassic Park.

Apparently Steve went to Roe for help to elect Mike Burke in 2011 campaign for Mayor. They began in January with attack pieces accusing a leading neighborhood activist of being Queen of TIF. Attack pieces paid for by St. Charles, MO, committee with laundered money with unspeakable origins in KC labor. Steve gets a lot of credit/blame for recruiting Kay C. W. B. to run for mayor in the first place. All British Royalists know there can only be one Queen at a time. Subsequent fun and games when Cleaver's 5th Cong. District moved up to Gladstone. Very little publicity. Thousands of voters find out election day that they have been re-districted. Jeff Roe remains to poison the body politic. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-44886332434365414542017-09-17T10:15:47.903-05:002017-09-17T10:15:47.903-05:00

His bitterness dated back to Kay Barnes run for Congress, which he honchoed. The Queen of TIF did okay outside KC City Limits, but we in the Northern part of KC knew her, and knew all about her, so she barely drew 20% of the vote within KC limits.<br /><br />Steve never forgave us, he carried a bitter grudge for the rest of his career(I think he considered it his biggest failure), and he did everything he could from then forward to block any improvements North of the River, unless they were simply the normal KC practice of shoveling Tax Revenues into the pockets of Kansas-based Real Estate Developers.
