If you know, do tell, cause I'm still dying to buy these guys a beer. Sure I have suspicions, but there are about five people I'm looking at (and two of them I know in person, so I really doubt it's them unless they are REALLY good at keeping a straight face). At least one of them is a poster here, I'm sure, and probably two of them. Not sure about the third. Anyway, I'm not nearly confident enough to start pointing fingers.
i have got it to 5 posters, and am sure it is 3 out of those 5, and i am happy with that. i do not intend to point fingers in the interim.

It doesn't matter whether it cost SOME money, the law very specifically says $500, and there's talk of that going up to $5000. I have no idea how much limos cost, but I'm sure that between a $9 web site, a limo ride, and a bottle wine, they're still not breaking any laws. Anyway, the point of the ethics law isn't to keep average Joes from speaking their mind and sharing their opinions, it's specifically to keep people from anonymously bankrolling campaigns.
that is then, and this is now. and the law says disclosure with regards to how much you spend, and right now, it is $500. i know limos and champagne are not free.

Hear, hear. Pass or fail, it will be over, and...finally!
thank god, this shit has gotten old. today, there is a new twin 15 story condo tower unveiled, i had another thread about letter writing to the city to get parking ordinances getting changed, the 20 story condo tower is close to breakiing ground, the empire theater has lights on inside it now, man, there is so much shit going on, and it is all about the stadiums. enough. they are not going downtown either way, we should all be able to see that, so, what is the point?

Anyway, I didn't see any tax opponents saying Lamar was evil or in need of shooting. Well, except maybe PPA before he went away, but who listens to that guy anyway? And either way, even if there are people saying that, I'm not, and you're talking to me, so who cares what some other people are saying?
ppa will be back, you can count on that. with regards to the posters, again, re read these threads, there are a LOT of people who talk shit on glass and hunt, and have the fuckem attitude about them, and specifically say that they have not done one damn thing for kc, and that is horseshit. without hunt, we do not have the chiefs, or worlds of fun, without glass, there is a chance we do not even have the royals anymore, noone was stepping up to the plate to buy them. NOONE. when he put in his bid, it was the ONLY BID MLB was looking at, there were no other ones. and we speak about him like he is some sort of cancer.
either way, i cannot wait until this is over, it is so sad, and so petty. if the posters on here who are tarring and feathering glass and hunt, would just stop and realize, you are not talking these guys into downtown, so, give it up, if you want to focus on this being a bad deal for kc, which, i do not believe it is, or focus on this being bad for jacko taxpayers, which, i do not believe it is, fine, do that, but, the majority of these posters ripping glass and hunt to shreds for this deal, mention downtown baseball CONSTANTLY, so, if it was the same deal, but a downtown stadium, they would be behind it. that is retarded, either get behind the tax, or dont, but dont say the owners should burn in hell, UNLESS you get it your way. that is sad.
