Jackson County Legislature Presumes Upon Voters

.......[c]2006 by Richard L Zorek......1.23.06.....The election hasn't happened yet. It won't happen until April 4th. Those pushing the issue are so sure they are going to win, that they have been hiring all kinds of contractors and advisers. Of course, I am referring to the renovation of the stadium. David Glass, owner of the Royals, said he was eager to see voters approve the plans on April 4. "We just need to get on with it so that we can relax and enjoy watching the Chiefs and Royals play in renovated facilities rather than agonizing over how to do it." The Jackson County Legislature is also sure of victory and planning accordingly. The greatest thing I can think of happening is that the measure lose. That would teach them....especially the Jackson County Legislature, to presume upon the citizens. They see money. That is their motive. They are gong to sell it to voters as something we need for entertainment. It will come at the expense of education, housing, healthcare, etc , which could use the money far more than a stadium built to entertain at a high price (Oh yes...ticket prices are gong up, too). David Glass and Lamar Hunt have money in their teams. Let them invest in their own business. Either that, or fire both of them and hand the control of the teams over to the Jackson County Legislature since they think they need to feed and cloth the teams anyway.
