KCMO TO RAISE TAXES?


You silly KCMO bastards crack my ass up. Seriously, one month you are bitching about cutting city jobs and not being able to hire additional police officers and THIS WEEK you are talking about raising taxes to fund museums that are rarely visited. This is almost as funny as light rail...I said almost.

Call me crazy but isn't crime a far more serious problem than museum funding? If you want to increase taxes wouldn't it be a better idea to use that money to hire additional officers and buy some Humvee's for the officers patrolling the East Side?

Does Kansas City really need a Museum? What is so historical about this town? We slaughtered some Indians, had crooked politicians and at one point in town had a cattle industry that was thriving. Do we really need to fund a museum that is full of crap that other than being old has no historical significance?

The following museums can be found in the metro area.

Nelson
Arabia Steam Boat
Negro League Baseball
Toy & miniature
Liberty
Jazz
American Royal
Kemper Art
Union Station
Garment District Museum
Thomas Hart Benton
Hair Museum
Doll Museum
Alexander Majors
Strawberry Hill
Missouri Frontier
Harry Truman
Mahaffee farmstead
Jackson County Jail Museum
AND THAT IS JUST A SMALL SAMPLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is an idea, combine your resources and make one museum that is actually worth a damn. It is no wonder all of the Museums suck, all the crap is spread out at different "museums" . All of these places complain that they are under funded and attendance is poor. NO CRAP! Who has time to go to all of these places to see nonhistorical old crap?

KCMO needs to give these jackass's the finger and get more cops.
