When exploiting death without consent can't pay the bills: Maybe the demise of Union Station doesn't mean anything either

BlogKC recently posted a great criticism of Union Station's recent call for more cash.

The City of KCMO was explicitly excluded from a formal role in Union Station because suburbanites did not trust the city with their money.

Now it looks like City taxpayers will be called on to rescue the mismanaged suburban plan. It’s only fair to ask why isn’t Union Station turning to the counties for help?

That's a fantastic point and a pertinent financial question.

And then there's the lingering fact that people in charge of this place were willing to exploit what might be executed Chinese prisoners for profit. Sadly, it's still not going to work considering that this exhibit may not be as popular as the Dead Sea Scrolls which still didn't alleviate the massive amount of debt incurred by the tomb-like old train station . . . And after the dead bodies are hauled away we'll still be left nothing more than money losing albatross around Kansas City's neck only this time there won't be as much sentiment about this town's history . . . Only the realization that the institution was willing to ignore human dignity in order to turn a buck.
