Kansas City Health Honcho Wants To Waste More Cash On Ineffective 'Aim4Peace' Program

Here's the reality check . . . 

DISTRIBUTING HANDOUTS AND PROVIDING SKETCHY JOBS IS THE ONLY THING AIM4PEACE HAS EVER ACCOMPLISHED!!!

The group has achieved ZERO impact on curbing local violence and most of the "data" they have produced only seeks to justify their own existence . . . And earn even more funding. 

Moreover . . .

This group isn't just a bad joke to municipal skeptics . . . There's also a great deal of urban core resistance to local government largess that always seem to favor the politically connected. 

Nevertheless . . .  

Here's a new Kansas City health leader who seemingly wants to waste good money after bad . . .

Dr. Marvia Jones noted a key program is Aim4Peace, a city-backed initiative that takes a public health approach to reducing homicides. The program’s aims include responding to violent and trauma-related situations, intervening in conflicts and working with survivors of violence while they are in the hospital.

“ …It is one important tool, because it involves people who are credible, who know the actors, or who can get to know the people who are involved with these incidents,” Jones pointed out.

The Aim4Peace program is slated to receive about $837,000 in the upcoming city budget.
