Does KC-MO Spend It's Transit Tax JUST On Transit?



Not according to a post by fellow local blogger "William Rockhill Nelson" over at Blog KC in a post there titled "City diverting bus money?".


Nelson (HaHa) links to yet another post that shows how a BIG chunk of the KC-MO transit tax is actually funneled into corporate welfare (TIF projects).

No wonder the KCATA needs a 25-cent increase in fares. No wonder the transit system in Metro Kansas City is so fragmented and the service so shitty...

It's shitty because the busses are like paddy wagons. Same people, same criminal elements. Shouldn't it tell you something when there's more hidden cameras on a bus than in bank?

It tells me to pack my derringer and wear my trash bag raincoat if I have to resort to riding the bus!
