Comments on: KC lets STL take us to the cleaners http://blogkc.com/archives/2009/05/kc-lets-stl-take-us-the-cleaners/ A Weblog for Kansas City, Missouri.

This city was named so before there was a state of Kansas and therein lies the problem. I do have to admit that it is somewhat better than "Raytown" and for the truly addicted to white trashiness, "RayMORE"...but to be associated with that parking lot in KS is horrid...

Personally, I think we should change the name from Kansas City to something else. Break all ties with that hideous place known as Kansas; a place that is so bleak and devoid of culture it was conspicuosly the only portion shot in black & white in that famous movie with Dorothy and the dog.

A strong leader who could stand up to his wife and a bit of criticism. City that works, anyone? You know what would be great? A strong leader who could stand up to his wife and a bit of criticism.

I get to watch this with a bit of bi-coastal interest. St. Louis has a city/county split which all but cripples us and is actually the reason we had to ask the state for money (since the county voted down additional money for Metro, ). Anywho, this acutally, might be the one instance where the two pulled together. They (primarily the county) realized that they had prevented all of there workers from being able to get to work on time with that vote. I think the real difference comes down to which suburb is located across the state line. Here, the money and power is not across the state line. Sadly, for Kansas City, there is an arguable powerbase across the state line. So instead of going to the same state government for a solution, you have two cities going to two different governments that have different priorities. But don't get me started on the ways they screw KC, on a regular basis and don't care - that's a whole nother story - KC might as well be Branson to them.
