Union Station In Dire Straits



P
erhaps a free concert by that band could help the refurbished Union Station's financial difficulties- but prolly not.



Sunday- The KANSAS CITY STAR reported how America's 2nd-largest train station is suffering a severe budget crunch.

Union Station was refurbished in 1999 after bi-state approval of a tax- now the station has run through their $40-million endowment in 10 years.

Unbelievably- the Union Station people have been drinking the politician's Kool-Aid: these people want to ask Metro Kansas City residents for yet ANOTHER tax to keep the place open.


Kind of like subsidizing a drug addict who refuses to get their problem properly treated I say....
