Our ‘pig in a poke’ King Louie purchase has several tentacles, more like an octopus. Reviewing the definition of “tentacle” reveals an appendage used for feeding of a spineless organism. Yep, that about describes our County Commissioners.
We have already shown the guise justification in purchasing the building is nothing short of eliminating the very thing they wish to make a museum of, suburbia. The planning document 2011InterpretiveMasterPlan details precisely how the suburbs of Johnson County are no longer needed or deserved when compared to the need of consolidating populations back to the inner cities. The Obama administration United Nations has determined that “sprawl” is not sustainable and that wealth must be redistributed. This posting takes a look at who funded the commissars’ new plan.

We know their precious document used to purchase an asbestos laden building and committing as much as $40,000,000 in the near future was written by an United Nations Obama agency. Now what are the odds? http://www.imls.gov/


Ken, This “pig in poke” is just an example of the inefficiencies and gross misspending of our tax dollars at every level of government, as you have demonstrated with your research. Agenda 21′s clarion call of “sustainability” is undermining our property rights and additionally strangling our economy with sustainable green energy mandates. Locally, in the KCP&L area, our electrical rates have increased nearly 50% (when including KCP&L’s latest rate increase request) since 2006 according to Senator Pat Apple’s comments last week. His comments were made last week at the Kansas City Chamber’s Energy and Environment round table held at the Chamber’s conference room in Union Station. Keep up your great work, we need you!!!
Amen to Charlotte’s remarks.
How dumb our Commissioners are to let this happen. On the other hand, some of them may be smart and knowingly have allowed this to happen.
In any case, the taxpayer be damned!!
