A #TBT reminder . . .
On April 4, 2017, voters overwhelmingly approved an $800 million comprehensive capital improvements program to use revenue created by issuing general obligation bonds each year for 20 years. The money will pay for infrastructure improvements across the city that has long been deferred. The effort was branded GO KC.
So far the sidewalk repair that was a big selling point has been scattershot and mostly focused on high-profile political targets. Meanwhile, the city has nearly depleted this fund but STILL needs more cash for growing pothole & street repair.
Our favorite example . . .

ReplyDeleteThe sinkhole on Guinotte is still not repaired. Go figure. It's only been a month.
ReplyDeleteHey KCMO government, fix the roads you taxed me to build, so I won’t fuck up my car you annually tax me to drive, that I paid for with my income which you also heavily tax, that I park at my home that’s highly over taxed?

ReplyDeleteGail McCann Beatty just told the board she believes the large number of appeals, 22,000 was possibly an attempt to “crash the system.”
ReplyDeleteThe board is asking her questions right now
ROFLMAO
That is the dumbest thing I ever heard...she is essentially accusing 22,000 Jackson County taxpayers of having an agenda to sabotage the County hardware. Hmmmm. Yet, in an interview she states she didnt do her job...
DeleteThe director of assessment is also supposed to file a report with the legislative auditor and the clerk of the county legislature that details any residential properties that increase more than 50% in value or increase more than $50,000. The rules also apply to commercial property. In that case, the report should include commercial properties that spike more than 100,000% or 50% in value.
Bad news KCMO residents.
ReplyDeleteThe most of the GO bond money is already GOne!
Filling in those holes in the operating budget instead of the many many holes in the streets.
And worse times coming just around the corner.
Much worse.
Dig deep!
