Lesson 68 That Corporate Giveaways Are Too Often Taxpayer Losses

Mark Forsythe- editor of K.C. blog "The Kansas City Post" and former KC-MO councilman candidate for the 4th District- illustrates quite well how city governments should not be so ready to feed corporate hogs waiting at the trough.

Mark makes a case-in-point for the old Gateway Computers giveaway- and now how Lenexa may well be stuck with a no-longer Applebee's restaurant corporate office complex not even finished yet.

Mr. Forsythe gets it and good work!

Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate that you get Lenexa "might" lose a corporate headquarters although it does seem like a forgone conclusion.

Lot of info on this blog. I've added you to my feed reader. Keep up the good work!

I appreciate the flowers Mark...

My thoughts were the same when Nextel & Sprint merged- thoughts that OP-KS would get stuck with that big campus at 119th & Nall.

Cities here in the Metro need to quit bidding AGAINST one another!

BTW- if the 4th District won't elect you- get an apartment here in the 5th District and I'll campaign for you. (grinning)
