"Why would we want to change mayors now?" Part II

Consider this, from Botbyl's "Continued Responsible Leadership" flyer, under "Major Objectives over my next term" :

• "Conduct road evaluation of all streets"...Ask Pat how many streets have been paved in the last four years as Mayor?...if you walk/bike/drive our streets you don't have to be an engineer to know that we are facing a huge amount of paving...why have we waited and when he begins where will the $ come from?  Don't let him fool you by saying we had to wait for completion of the new sewage pump/lift stations.
• "Begin and complete work to install new pump stations"  This project has been on the books for years and when/if it starts will have nothing to do with Botbyl or WL.  This is a KCMO project...it does involve WLIC and the land swap for construction sites, the City of WL is basically on the sidelines.  Your Mayor will attend the ribbon cutting, if/when the project is completed.
• "Install new alternate water line"  This refers to the potential hook up of our water system to Water District #6 as a back up (across from City Hall).  Another long discussed project dragging along, a direct responsibility of the Mayor.  Alderman Clark, frustrated by the lack of action, volunteered to contact the Water District himself, hoping to jump start the City into action.
• "Power wash and paint touch up for water tower"  A regularly scheduled maintenance event.
• "Participate in 2020 Census conducted by MARC and Platte County"  Yikes.

I wrote a post last year this time about "kicking the can down the road" when it comes to paving City streets...here we are, another year and the condition of the roads has deteriorated even more after the hard winter.  How are the roads in front of your house?

Why would you want to change mayors now?  Time for a change.
