TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY BEHIND THE SCENES: CITY COUNCIL ENDORSES MAYOR SLY'S 'ADVANCE KC' ECO-DEVO POWER GRAB!!!
Kansas City Mayor Sly James has consolidated power yet again.
To wit . . .
THIS WEEK A RESOLUTION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL ENDORSES MAYOR SLY'S NEAR TOTAL CONTROL OF KANSAS CITY'S PURSE STRINGS!!!
Take a look at:
Ordinance #130274
It's the "Advance KC" plan . . . It has been long debated by policy wonks and other boring people . . . But essentially . . . Here's what it does . . .
'ADVANCE KC' GIVES MAYOR SLY NEARLY TOTAL CONTROL OF ALL THE ECO-DEVO CASH THAT KANSAS CITY IS SPENDING!!! IT'S REALLY NOTHING LESS THAN AN UNPRECEDENTED POWER GRAB!!!
One KICK-ASS KANSAS CITY INSIDER describes it this way . . .
"Nothing gets through from TIF, LCRA, DESA, PIEA or any if the other Eco devo agencies without first going through the new EDC and that, of course, will be appointed by the Mayor."
Yes, yes . . . Ratified by the Council . . . But can anybody remember when the Council has made even a peep to disagree with our beloved Kansas City Mayor Sly James? Didn't think so. Also, let's not forget that Mayor Sly likes to keep the resignation letter of all his appointees on file in a move that barely meets with the City Charter.
We might have more on this but the power grab has gone unnoticed by the media this week despite a renewed push from The City Council.
And with this increased power comes responsibility for Mayor Sly and possibly the realization that NOBODY likes the current trajectory of Kansas City pet projects and eco-devo work that has seemingly overlooked input from residents and voters. Now, there really is nobody else to blame for this trend but Kansas City's Mayor Sly James.
DEVELOPING . . .
The "buck stops here" doesn't work if nobody votes.
ReplyDeleteSly's WHITE Masters in the KC Establishment must have something on this him. I can think of no other reason why a human being could be so corrupt and not even recognize it.
ReplyDeleteSly's mutated into a Kansas City version of Robert Mugabe. Maybe we should invite Zimbabwe to be our sister city.
ReplyDeleteThis just makes sense. I wish you stupid fuckers would learn to read and understand what you're reading.
ReplyDeleteThe City Council is just as worthless as Sly.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteSly will drag KC into the same kind of despair and collapse as DETROIT.
KC voters are almost as STUPID as those in Detroit - and that is pretty bad, people.
What in the FUCK is the EDC? Or Kansas City's version of two million other EDCs all over the place.

ReplyDeleteSly's voter base intelligence level is somewhere betwixt snail and ape.
Economic Development Committee.
ReplyDeleteOr Economic Destruction Committee in our case.
COUNCILMEMBERS FORD, JAMES, JR., CIRCO, MARCASON, WAGNER, TAYLOR, REED AND CURLS
ReplyDeleteThe usual suspects. Nothing to see here move along now.
Funk wins.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry there is a place reserved in Hell for the political grifters so just endure the pain and grit your teeth and hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteThe problem isn't the agencies. The problem is the EDC. Until Sly is ready to have an adult discussion of how economic development is done in Kansas City, we are stuck with agencies working at cross purposes and being bled dry by the leeches at EDC.
ReplyDeleteAnother lethargic Kansas City media weekend begins. (Closed Till Monday)
ReplyDeleteGood time to discuss these corrupt clowns downtown looting the public purse.
Much of the (our) money is is funneled to NW Briar Point Drive. Where not even Google street view was allowed to tread!
ReplyDeleteSo what can the muggers at city hall come up with next to help us out of our money?
ReplyDeleteI don't know maybe they should go back to school and learn how to compete effectively with Johnson County?
ReplyDeleteThat might be a start,
Why doesn't the Sly Regime just say it and get it over with.
ReplyDeleteThe public doesn't support unregulated, winner-take-all capitalism and so we don't support the public making decisions.
While waistlines and chins continue expanding and doubling at City Hall, the poor and disenfranchised in KC are now having to literally resort to raiding and terrorizing the better off neighborhoods and robbing them just to survive.
ReplyDeleteQuite a success huh?
Unification of Wyandotte County gave the mayor the final say. Look at what's happen over here. Rich city council, rich mayors, rich developers, richer business owners while the rest of us sit in hell waiting for more tax increases to pay for their good ideas. Good luck with Sly.
ReplyDeleteEveryone catch the red carpet and Hollywood stars descending upon Kansas City? Wow! Things are going great!!
ReplyDeleteNow all we need is a new airport and streetcars to impress!!
Don't worry be happy! Eat drink and be merry!
Plus we are all going to be stuck with paying this current cabals pensions down the line. Not that they'll need it at the rate we're ripped off but no doubt they'll enjoy that gravy at some point. Amazing what a jam only 38,265 voters can get a city into isn't it?
ReplyDeleteKansas City's only claim to fame right now it The Tunnel People. At least for the past week.
ReplyDeleteIrish American cop uncovers “mole people” living in tunnels below Kansas suburb. Irish Central.
ReplyDeleteSly's Mole People!
At least they aren't puncturing gas lines maybe the homeless should be given excavation jobs.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to figure out how to get a piece of the action from EDC. My downtown building is in desperate need of rehabbing and remodeling, but they can't seem to find me any money. I'm not asking for much as compared to some of these other eco-dev projects.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need to "donate" to a city hall politicians pet cause, like themself.
Please illuminate me as to finding the money at NW Briar Point Drive
ReplyDeleteI thought Sly lived in Union Hill. Who lives on NW Briar Point Drive?
8:40; wrong again. Why don't you leave town like Funk did?
ReplyDeleteIsn't NW Briar Point where former mayor Kay Barnes lives? or is it Mr. J E Dunn?
ReplyDeleteWant to know more about what's going down? Google search: MARC ICLEI
ReplyDeleteICLEI is the local machine for the United Nation's Agenda21. In fact you can go to UN.org and use their search box to read more about their chemically-induced ideology regarding Agenda21 and ICLEI.
MARC is the new Regional Government that will consume us all and turn us into a region 'City State' under Regional Governance-dissolving all local government and our current cities). Then, we're absorbed into the borg of the national, then international governance. It's fabian socialism and unless we band together and kick anything to do with ICLEI and Agenda21 out, the goose is cooked.
