A newspaper screed backs up the lame duck rhetoric as well. Take a look:
Mayor Sly James makes the case for his pre-K sales tax plan | The Kansas City Star
There's no "intensity" between Mayor Sly James and Kansas City Public Schools Superintendent Mark Bedell over the mayor's pre-K plan, James says. He wants a sales tax increase to pay for his proposal.
They already have pre k programs. We are over taxed. This school system isn’t even accredited despite billions and billions of dollars in taxes and federal aid. Many of you are unaware of the kcmo school case just a few years ago in which billions in taxes were imposed and look where we are now. Please vote NO for more taxes.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a NO vote offer a free day bus pass and a pizza party,that should cover it!
DeleteSo even the KCPS superintendent is against the Pre-k sales tax. Probably because he knows most of it would somehow end up in developer pockets. Sly is a liar and a crooked politician.
ReplyDeleteMayor Bullhorn looking to conjure up one last slush fund. Aren't there ambulances to chase?
ReplyDelete"Billions and billions of dollars just a few years ago" A few years ago meaning 1985? The district has a lot of work to do but its residents pay the least out of every district in the area. Get what you pay for.
ReplyDeleteSly should have thought of this before he gave all that TIF money away.
ReplyDeleteAre taxes the only solutions city hall can think of?
^^^^ it’s the democrim way, always
ReplyDelete^^is this the only place you go to?
ReplyDelete^^Why don't you have a job?
ReplyDeleteThe KCPS could start education as soon as kids are born and someday those kids would still be illiterate when they graduate.
ReplyDelete^^but this is key... they would still be better than you!
ReplyDeleteNO MORE TAXES your Idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe city has no business sticking its nose in the operation of the school district.
ReplyDeleteThis is just another slush fund for Slie to use for the developers and he knows it.
When the school district does not trust the handling of the money you know something is wrong.
