Mayor James' $800,000,000 Blank Check

Dear Council-Members:

Kansas City, MO is a city that does need millions of dollars in infrastructure improvements. What Kansas City does not need is another multi-million dollar bilking- in this case an $800,000,000 one, coming out of City Hall.

The request for citizens to approve, via the ballot this spring, an $800,000,000 bond and a very hefty increase in property taxes for "infrastructure improvements" prima facie sounds intriguing -however- when one digs in to look for the pertinent details of these "infrastructure improvements"- pertinent details such as a list of projects, the actual cost of these projects, and their priority- one finds that their are no details- at least none the Mayor wants to disclose. When questioned about the pertinent details City Manager Troy Schulte replied, "You'll just have to trust us".
The mayor and city manager want what amounts to an $800,000,000 blank check. Sorry, that dog don’t hunt. If the mayor and city manager continue to refuse to provide full details of what they will do with our money the council should say no. With no details, Citizens for Responsible Government certainly will actively oppose it.
