(I am implying that it is!--one more use to go...)<br /><br />This whole campaign stinks. I love that the YES people, Sly and the council and labor and the contractor are so uncertain about the virtue of their proposal that they are throwing a million bucks at the UNKNOWN AND UNORGANIZED OPPOSITION! <br /><br />The polls must be showing it is losing or close to losing.<br /><br />When you get your nightly polling phone calls, push whatever numbers on your phone you must to IMPLY that you are on board with this pig of a proposal. Then in the privacy of the voting booth, vote NO.<br /><br />The pollsters will INFER that you are for it. Ha!<br /><br />You are so close to defeating this. Mike White won his county commission seat by one vote. We call him Mandate Mike.<br /><br />And Bartle Hall passed by 18 votes, but those were kinda stolen votes. Back in the day, they had real machines with wheels. Sometimes reading the numbers on the wheels was in question. So my former business partner, politico Jerry Jette, (who taught Pat Gray EVERY trick in the book) was dispatched by Mayor Wheeler to go to the election board while the election staff peered at the numbers stuck halfway between a higher and a lower number.<br /><br />Jette knew EXACTLY how many votes he needed. Fourteen. And gave himself a cushion of four more. He flirted with the old gals in the Election Board office, "Hi Bernice--how's your son George doing? I hope that summer job we got for him helped you out! He hugged, he cajoled, and he counted. All the while, Bernice and Agnes and Carmella and the Good Old Girls from Redemtorist Parish and St. Elizabeths were deciding--is that a 7 or a 6? <br /><br />"Jerry, I think...hmmmm...(dramatic pause and a wink) I'm gonna say it's a 7!"<br />"Good girl, Bernice!"<br /><br />Of course it was completely arbitrary. Like hanging chad in Florida. No money changed hands. It was all flattery and comraderie and friendship and years and years spent at neighborhood parishes and St. Patrick's Day events and St. Joseph's tables, etc.<br /><br />The minute Jette scored 18 more votes, he said, "Gotta meet the Mayor at Italian Gardens for lunch!" Hugs all around. <br /><br />And that is how the city of KCMO won that election to build Bartle Hall on a cold December day.<br /><br />So what's a little white lie to a phone surveyor or someone knocking on your door. <br />Vote NO and force the city to come back with a much BETTER PLAN. They are IMPLYING they will just give up for the next 50 years. That's bullshit. <br /><br />Vote No for something better. <br /><br />JoCoPosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788162706544317190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-79543323482210434972017-10-17T22:17:09.839-05:002017-10-17T22:17:09.839-05:00Vote against corruption, they were caughtVote against corruption, they were caughtagentzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869005498232108348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-37267753444945592642017-10-17T22:14:05.447-05:002017-10-17T22:14:05.447-05:00This is how Sly's career ends politically.

Thank you! You are absolutely right, ...Dear 4:49--<br />Thank you! You are absolutely right, I did not know the difference between Infer and Imply. I'm not one to lie and say I knew and just forgot. I just never had that pointed out to me. <br />So thank you--I looked it up.<br /><br />Commonly Confused Words: infer / imply. Both verbs have to do with the communication of information. The difference between the two is that imply refers to giving information, while infer refers to receiving information. Imply means to strongly suggest the truth or existence of something that is not expressly stated.<br /><br />One of the things I love about these conversations on TKC is that we all learn factoids, and sometimes we even change our minds or change our behaviors or get motivated to turn off this blog long enough to make a few phone calls and make a difference in this town.<br /><br />You made a difference for me today. And I am not just implying it--I am stating it expressly! (Now I just need to use it in a sentence two more times in the next 24 hours, because that is how learning gets anchored in the brain. And that is a fact!<br /><br />Bless you. I urge you to invent a nom de plume, and use it--you're smart enough to do that. And it just makes this experience more meaningful and easier to follow when the smart ones use names. Sets you apart from the trolls, cowards and dullards.

In the past five years, it has been reinvented as East Brookside, with all kinds of upscale shops and neighbors. Now certain areas east of Troost are being relabeled as the East Crossroads. Gentrification will follow. People who purchase the cheap little houses that are available are going to do very well. I know the area has broken hearts in the past, but I think a small investment is worth the risk. There are a shopping center and a number of fast food chains that have opened along Emmanuel Cleaver Blvd, and there is also a very nice housing area to the south. Things are going to happen around there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-86302402757295772442017-10-17T16:49:58.315-05:002017-10-17T16:49:58.315-05:00Tracy is a hack.
