The Star: "A one-eighth-cent sales tax measure for the Kansas City Zoo for now will appear before voters only in Jackson and Clay counties. Cass County chose not to vote on placing it on the ballot. Nobody (ever) knows what Platte County Will Do."

If the funds for improving the zoo were taken out f the salaries of the City Council Titans instead of the pockets of struggling taxpayers, what a deal that would be. Barring that fantasy, I wish that our elected representatives would supress the seemingly boundless urge to put their collective hands into our pockets.
ReplyDeleteKansas City is always looking for ways to get other people to pay for their amenities. It's their zoo, why don't they pay for it?
ReplyDeleteWe don't need no fuckin zoo! If we want to see animals all we have to do is go south of the river into urban Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteKC's got a great zoo. The tax is worth it.
ReplyDeleteIt is exactly because we need a facility to house animals such as anon 1025 that we need a larger zoo with more cages :)
ReplyDeleteWhy don't the zoo just charge additional fee for residents in the counties that don't help fund the zoo.
ReplyDelete11:56: I understand your suggestion, but, on the other hand, wouldn't that cause people to stay away?
ReplyDeleteI think attendance at the Deanna Rose Farmstead in OP is already right up there with the KC Zoo.
Zoo's ok. I don't want extra tax for it. Charge more for those who want to visit or for non-KC residents. No more fucking taxes damnit!
ReplyDeleteGoing to the zoo in Swope Park.....
ReplyDeleteYeah, that'd be a safe way to entertain children.
You people - get past the zoo and think of the TAX. They want to TAX us for a b or c. Whatever they can think of to bear into our hearts or intestests and TAX us. How much money do YOU make and how many asses do you have helping you do your job. Fucking idiots, they cant say that, THEY HAVE MORE ASSES AND ASS KISSERS THAN YOU CAN IMAGING, BUT they need more tax money. Just like the brush creek skim job. HARDEN UP PEOPLE AND VOTE NO TO ANYTHING THEY THINK OF because the zoo wont see but a small percentage of the cash. WTF is wrong with kc abunch of idiots at the polls or passive aggressive assholes that are scared to JUST SAY NO!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great zoo, but did we need a skyway view of the savannah? I have to question some of the expenditures.
