Cindy Circo- chairwoman for the committee to force a 1000-room convention hotel down a recession/depression-battered citizenry's throats- has used taxpayer money to give a consultant job to the same firm that help HER get elected city councilwoman- says The Pitch.
This is how politicians work- a business helps them get elected with contributions- then that elected official beholden to that business funnels business their way.
The consultants Circo got hired are "to educate and inform constituents regarding the potential development" of a new convention hotel.
Educate and inform us? Most of us ARE educated and informed on this white-elephant plan.
Check around- the CSW poll down on the right side of this blog if you don't believe that Kansas Citians DON'T WANT TAX MONEY GIVEN AWAY TO DEVELOPERS or in any way shape or form for ANOTHER hotel which taxpayers will HAVE to subsidize building and operating.
* We need new and replaced sidewalks- bridges- roadways- decrepit empty structures demolished or repaired- we need reliable- speedy public transit.
* We need the sewer and water lines replaced or repaired. We need to pay-off the debt on Kemper Arena- the Power & Light District and the Jazz District.
* We need something done to the abandoned Bannister Mall site on Chuck Eddy (Hillcrest) Road and quit building/subsidizing silly shit like luxury convention hotels 95% of the city's citizens will never use.
! We just need to replace Circo and the rest of the uneducated and uninformed on that committee- for that matter the entire council and mayor too- next election!

KC got the council they voted for and therefore deserves. Until people stop voting by name recognition and who stuffed their mailbox with flyers every other day we will continue to get the best fundraisers, not the best candidates.
Am I still bitter? Little bit...
Is this the same Circo whose husband is a member of Local 42 and in KCFD but she never felt the need to recuse herself from the MAST takeover vote that would directly benefit him and KCFD?
I think it might be.
Circo is a licensed cosmotologist. Doesn't that make her qualified?
Hiya Mark... bitter? Heh...
