So the PH levy got whacked, your hard earned money is safe, right? Not so fast. Today's KC Star, page 1 article on the "Northland rail plan" might give you second thoughts. The price tag for extending the streetcars across the river could be as much as $100 million, and probably more. The article says that "sales and property taxes for all of North Kansas City" in regards to funding would be "problematic". Extending the proposed line to 29th and Burlington "would position the line to serve other communities in the Northland". My translation, widening a taxing district might get more $ (they should review what happened with the zoo).
In any regard the tax and spend monster is alive and well...oh BTW, the airport decision looms closer.
