Chef, their list of endorsements reads like a lottery-winner's list. They're all people who would benefit with pay-outs from the tax (which, of course, is why they endorse it). If I got something out of this deal, I'd slap my name up there, too.
(Not to say I don't get something--I would be able to hopefully attend games in the future--but I'm talking about immediate financial gain).
yeah, the mayor is getting a pay out
yeah, city council is getting a pay out
yeah, the county is getting a pay out
if this was all about pay outs, then, why would the city and the mayor, who, would benefit more from them moving downtown, not fight it?
if this was all about pay outs, then, why would the dtc not fight it and not endorse?
if this was all about pay outs, then, why is a huge baseball ambassador who is already well off like buck o'neill behind it?
save it. there are no pay outs minus those who are getting paid by glorioso, but, even those, like the star for example, are allowed to report on whichever angle they would like, and, if you have not noticed, they do.
i guess independence, grandview, and blue springs city councils all got payouts to endorse?
i guess every hotel in the city that is behind this, including downtown, plaza, and crown center ones, got paid??
i suppose all of the restaurants that are behind this, got paid?? even the ones on the plaza and the forums beloved flea market?
