Sylvester James knew this fact shortly after entering office, failed to act, and continued the faulty policy of diverting funds elsewhere.<br /><br />Troy Schulte has made a routine practice of continually shuffling funds from one dedicated municipal fund to another, like a well-orchestrated shell game. Or perhaps like a check-kiting scheme.<br /><br />Schulte, James, and Council refuse to address the ever-growing budget behemoth which is KCMO Public Safety. It remains an expansionary black-hole which swallows up a greater percentage of the municipal budget each and every year. It now threatens the financial integrity of the city itself.<br /><br />The reason Schulte and James purposely lied to voters about the details of the $800M property tax increase, was to assure themselves budgetary wiggle-room for survival until they're both retired and gone. Local media sold their soul to City Hall by not aggressively highlighting the annual exponential nature of the tax increase. The other thing they keep doing is to levy additional separate taxes for services which use to be covered from general revenues. When the shit hits the fan, and it will, both Schulte and James will be gone and someone else will have to tell residents that the city is bankrupt without another big spike in taxes. <br /><br />No one currently on the Council who's running for Mayor has any intention of changing the status quo of corrupt practices. It's the system they're familiar and comfortable with as normal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-8663637588229508412019-02-22T21:50:23.083-06:002019-02-22T21:50:23.083-06:00Sly city.
