I feel sorry for the trees that were killed to produce the star. It’s heart breaking.

So now get ready for the Sports backed Shields for Mayor campaign. Remember this started with Shields giving away the naming rights before the BI-State election. It will end with her in Kays seat giving away the rest of the City to the special interests.
Maybe Johnson County isn’t so bad a place to live after all.

Aye, I agree, Tony.

Whoever thinks that KC is only known for a couple of sports teams is sadly mistaken. The SOB campaign seemed to be droning on about that and that so-called threat of either team wanting to pull out of town…

To my comment about South Floridians shrugging when the Marlins talk of leaving, ‘Yes Vote’ replied: “There are many other things to do in warm and sunny South Florida other than to go to pro sporting events – that is not the case here.”

That may be the most depressing thing I’ve seen in this debate — that people like ‘Yes Vote’ can’t imagine why KC would be worth living in without its sport teams.

Sure, it’s warm and sunny here in Ft. Lauderdale (now that the electricity is back on and we get a breather between hurricanes), but weather isn’t everything. Would I move back to KC if it were possible? In a minute. And believe me, it would have nothing to do with the games played by overpaid primadonnas in the corporate playgrounds at the Truman complex.

T.O.

SK- Don’t worry, you’ll get your chance. This rolling roof thing will be like Michael Myers from Halloween and keep coming back in one form or another until they find a poorly-enough attended election date and ram it through.

No big deal. We will all be back here in 10-14 years when the teams again start whining about their old stadiums (then 43 years old) and how they need megabucks to make “state of the art” upgrades. By then there may actually be another gas station on the Cut-Off, so they can point to the economic development we have realized. The Star will endorse the new deal and criticize the current one, just as it forgot that it endorsed the horrible 1990 leases at the time. We could’ve negotiated a far far better deal had there even been one person involved who wasn’t getting his/her back scratched. YES VOTE – perhaps you should read more than blog sites, then you might know that David Glass recently told Pitch and Lamar Hunt recently told KMBZ that they did NOT intend to move the teams regardless of the vote. That said, the Florida Marlins are not moving anywhere because…get this…Major League Baseball has only approved 2 areas nationally for team relocation and those are New Jersey and the San Bernadino Valley of California. Land is high-dollar in both areas and neither is making any offers.
