Kansas City has been hoodwinked by a snake oil salesman from Arkansas and you are all giving him a pass. I have yet to read a story or blog post mentioning David Glass's name in regards to the Wal Mart convention ditching Kansas City.
Remember folks, you voted to give this guy a quarter of a billion dollars to refurbish the stadium in which his once proud/now a joke baseball team plays and this is how he repays you. Are you kidding me, THIS GUY OWES YOU! Yet, not a mention in the media. $8 million stripped from the local economy and not a mention.. And let's not forget about all of the tax breaks that Wal-Mart has gotten to build its stores in neighborhoods that didn't want them and the small businesses that closed down shortly afterwards.
Everything that was good about Ewing Kaufman has been flipped with David Glass. Ewing Kaufman loved Kansas City, kept his business here, employed thousands(and paid well) and gave us a winning product on the field (even if he lost money). Glass destroys local small business's, provides terrible low paying jobs, fleeces the city for money and has put a joke of a product on the field. Yet, the media fails to go after him for stripping the city of its biggest convention................
I think its time that Kansas City said good bye to Wal-Mart and David Glass.
