Today's KC-MO Council Meeting Crucial For Light Rail Plan

Supposively- today's 3pm meeting in the City Council chambers atop America's Top-2 tallest City Hall there will be a vote taken whether to put the voter-approved light rail initiative up to voters again in November or next February.

Not yet known is if this vote has an alternative plan in place- can have a plan in place when final ballot language is necessary- or has no plan and no intent to present one.

I would think if the latter option is presented- the Mayor and City Council are going to - er - "irk" more than a few voters.

Flawed as it was- the Clay Chastain light rail plan needed so many registered voters on the petitions to bring the subject of light rail to a vote in Kansas City-MO.

When that requirement was met- the initiative then needed a majority of votes from the election to pass- which it did.

If Kansas City can afford new arenas and corporate welfare even to prefessional sports teams- their leaders can also find a plan- and a way to implement it before today's babies die of old age.
