Geez- that's EXACTLY what I thought when this present City Council overturned the voter-approved light rail initiative.
The Council- by their action- told K.C. voters to STFU- we were "uninformed"- the light rail plan "unworkable."
The Council tweaked another plan for voters- most like me who were upset over the disregarding of our FIRST vote for light rail voted against it.
Unless the Feds or some generous billionaire pays for it- Metro K.C. will probably not see any public rail transit plan. Ever.
The next time we citizens get a petition together to get something voted on and pass whatever it is- the city council would probably overturn that too.
With a few exceptions- I don't like this city council. I like the city mangler (manager) even less. Mangler "assistant" Chuck Eddy's $140000 annual pay could provide jobs for at least 5 people.
First in the ridiculous que.
There will be NO economic recovery this year. TIFs and other corporate welfare must come to a halt.
City council members MUST pay closer attention to their constituents- especially when they sign petitions- vote and approve things the council sees fit to overturn.
The next election could be their recall....
