Other Election Issues

The only other prominent ballot issue is the proposed "no tax" bond issue being proposed by the Park Hill School District.  We have supported the bond issues in the past although I thought the last prop was a bit of a stretch.  The current proposal should pass, in large part because there really isn't any organized opposition to the measure.  If you read the pro literature that has been mailed out...carefully...the evidence to support the needs going forward is sketchy to say the least.  Not sure if the District needs to get into the housing of school buses...not sure of funding for a building in case we need a new high school.

I am struggling to muster a Yes vote for the bond issue...as noted by media outlets, the Park Hill bond issue is the largest in the area.  Which leads me to voting for School Board candidates.  Do I really want to vote for incumbents who put the bond issue together...again, hard for me to blacken the dot next to their names.

Another bond issue that could be in trouble, KCMO's three proposals for "infrastructure".  Plenty of push back from the East side community.  You might have received the magazine "KCMOre" in the mail, the "KCMO Resident Engagement Magazine".  Not that we could vote, but nice that Sly would keep us up do date on Kansas City affairs.  Could you really trust someone who goes by the name Sly?  Just thinkin.
