Billions for pricey light rail and support for Mayor Funky is still being disguised as a rebellion against the KC "elite." Ugh.

Apparently, The Pitch is the last publication still buying the Orange Revolution line and a recent column by David Martin might as well have been written by former Pitch Staffer Joe Miller. It's the same tired line about how the "elite" won't give the "regular folk" what they want!!! It's a great strategy until the sticker shock for a MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR light rail plan full of flaws is revealed as the alternative. Also, I'm surprised that The Pitch is still in the pocket of the Funky Administration despite their low approval rating in the urban core. Seriously.
Tony, you mention The Pitch like it's still (or ever was) relevant. It's nothing more than a glorified bar rag for faux hipsters.
ReplyDeleteThe fact the Mark and Gloria hired their PR staff from the ranks of former Pitch employees spoke volumes about their judgment. And the many misteps of Joe and Kendrick are a testiment to how little the "boys" understand the real media.
I read Ink.
ReplyDeleteIf you had any guts Tony you would go after Nutter.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Ink is where it's at.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else see Whitlock's magnum opus about Tech9?
David Martin gets most of his information from Miller. You should have known that Tony.
ReplyDeleteToo bad light rail supporters REFUSE to use public transportation.
ReplyDeleteFor light rail supporters, trains are nothing but an ego booster.
the reason city planner and developers want lightrail down Main Street is because they all want a entertainment district from 47th Street to Downtown. Duh.
ReplyDeleteLots of nudie bars and Hip hop IT will be grand on Grand.
