Ce qu’il ne faut pas faire dans l’industrie chevaux les plus joués de canalturf

Un Kentucky Derby, la plus grande course de chevaux de tous les temps important, a un conte en échiquier qui s'étend sur 130 ans. Avant, elle a lutté pour survivre, ton succès étant dû à tous les hommes et aux femmes qui l'ont créée et soutenue.

Le rêve a commencé au jeune hère, le colonel M. Lewis Clark, petit-fils du total William Clark, l'explorateur. Il visita l'Angleterre et cette France en 1872 et décida de créer un hippodrome dans le Kentucky pour relancer l'industrie de l'élevage de chevaux avec cet État. Le développement entonna peu après le voyage sur 80 acres qu'il obtint de ses deux tontons, John et Henry Churchill. Le financement était assuré par les cotisations des membres qui se vendaient à 100 dollars l'unité. La piste a été officiellement ouverte le 17 mai 1875. Quatre ruées ont eu lieu le jour-là et le vainqueur une course vedette, un Kentucky Derby, était un cheval nommé Aristides. Une paire de Afro-Américains, Oliver Lewis et Ansel Williamson, ont entraîné et jockeyé Aristides. Au téléphone fil des ans, un Kentucky Derby est devenu l'événement phare des Churchill Downs.

Finalement, la Kentucky State Fair a organisé des activités à Churchill Downs, mais l'attraction principale était alors et se trouve être encore aujourd'hui de miser sur ce cheval spécial pour gagner. En 1875, le prix à couper était de 2 850 $. En 1890, cette bourse est passée dans 5 460 $, Riley étant en tête du peloton lorsque les pur-sang ont franchi la ligne d'arrivée. Le vainqueur du Kentucky Derby de 1896 a été Ben Brush, avec la première place et un prix total de 4 850 dollars. La bourse du vainqueur restera à ce degré pendant les 17 décennies suivantes.

En 1913, un montant du prix a légèrement augmenté, mais l'année suivante, les recettes du vainqueur ont grimpé en flèche pour atteindre 9 125 dollars. Cette aussi année, Old Rosebud a gagné par 8 longueurs, établissant un record de piste de 2: 03 pour l'ovale de 2/5 miles. En 1915, ce Derby avait acquis une réputation d'événement sportif de premier plan grâce à une campagne publicitaire de trois ans. En 1924, le Golden Jubilee Derby avait une bourse de 52 775 dollars. Au fil des ans, cette valeur des prix n'a cessé de croître. En 1970, Secretariat est rendu le premier vainqueur de la Triple Couronne en 25 ans, avec une victoire dans le Derby chronométrée à 1 minute 59 secondes. Les propriétaires de Secretariat ont gagné 127 800 dollars. En mai 2004, le vainqueur du Derby a remporté un record de 5 854 800 dollars.

Bien que Churchill Downs ait subsisté le centre des paris 75, des courses et d'autres activités, il a découvert de fréquents changements de dirigeants. Le colonel M. Lewis Clark et bruit Louisville Jockey Club ont lancé le spectacle annuel en 1875. Bien que le premier Kentucky Derby ait été un le trafic qui vous manque, il y avait un ensemble de problèmes financiers. Pour charmer d'assurer une situation en argent plus sûre, la course fut incorporée sous un nom de New Louisville Jockey Club le 24 novembre 1894. William F. Schulte en devint un président et le colonel M. Lewis Clark a été nommé juge président.

Une tragédie frappe avec le suicide de Clark dans Memphis, Tennessee, le 22 avril 1899. Des problèmes financiers se sont dans nouveau posés et l'ancien maire, Charles Grainger, Charlie Price et Matt J. Winn ont pris une relève le 1er octobre 1902. Le premier signe de rentabilité est perlé en 1903. Le Kentucky Jockey Club a resservis les 4 pistes de course du Kentucky en 1918-1919. Churchill Downs-Latona devient la dénomination légal de une piste en 1937 après la vente de différents des autres pistes de course. Le 6 octobre 1949 marque la trépas du colonel Matt Moi. Winn, l'homme qui a fait du Kentucky Derby la course très prestigieuse du monde. Bill Corum prend la barre et modernise la piste.

Un Kentucky Derby est télédiffusé pour la première coup le 3 mai 1952. En décembre 1958, Bill Corum meurt et se révèle être remplacé par Wathen Knebelkamp. Sous une nouvelle direction, les Churchill Downs disposent subi d'autres rénovations. Qui plus est, la ville de Louisville a tenté d'acheter l'hippodrome, mais les échevins ont eu le dernier vocable et n'ont pas voulu le permettre. Vers 1968, on trouve eu une distinct bataille pour la propriété de Churchill Downs et cette fois, le Derby Protection Group est devenu le plus offrant.

Lynn Stone a été nommé nouveau président en 1970. Il a réussi à repousser deux autres ébauches de prise de contrôle de l'hippodrome. Mais lorsque des problèmes financiers surgissent, Stone démissionne en août 1984, pour être remplacé à travers Thomas Meeker. Au moyen de une bonne direction de Meeker, du président Warner Jones et du président présent William Farish, les Churchill Downs et le Kentucky Derby ont prospéré.

Outre les controverses liées par rapport aux rachats et aux changes de dirigeants, il y avait aussi des questions juridiques. En 1908, les paris ont commencé dans poser problème, au point que l'administration municipale de Louisville a pris des mesures de répression vis à vis de les bookmakers. Une fente a permis de poursuivre le pari mutuel que le colonel Clark avait importé de France en 1875. Les problèmes arrivent régulièrement à nouveau et ce gouvernement interdit les ruées de chevaux en 1945, mais le jour de la VE change tout et le Derby se poursuit le 9 juin de cette année-là.

Comme nous l'avons déjà mentionné, la majorité des Afro-Américains ont joué un rôle clé depuis cette première course et disposent apporté des contributions adultes tout au long de l'histoire du derby. Alonzo Lonnie Clayton fut un jockey précoce qui, en 1892, à l'âge de 15 ans, a monté Azra, ce qui a fait de lui ce plus jeune jockey chez remporter la victoire. Erskin Henderson fut le 6ème Afro-Américain à remporter le Kentucky Derby, en chevauchant Joe Cotton en 1885. Babe Hurd a monté Appollo en 1882 et l'a remporté. George Garrett Lewis, un autre Afro-Américain, a fait le jockey grace à Fonso au sein du Derby de 1880. Ce sont 4 des 15 Afro-Américains qui disposent gagné le Kentucky Derby et dont les noms sont inscrits dans un Kentucky Derby Museum.

Sur la outre, du public féminin jockeys disposent de participé activement au Derby; les cinq qui disposent couru pour les roses sont Patti Cooksey, Sonnerie Crump, Julie Krone, Andrea Seefeldt et Rosemary Homeister. De plus, il a été assez fréquent - fil des ans que des femmes soient propriétaires.

Le Kentucky Derby et les Churchill Downs se trouvent être devenus la marque de nombreuses courses de chevaux de première classe en faisant face à l'adversité et en s'adaptant. Le Derby est une course de chevaux qui ne ressemble à aucune autre en termes de prestige, d'excitation et de qualité un ensemble de concurrents. Les jockeys, la majorité des entraîneurs, les éleveurs, la majorité des administrateurs, les propriétaires et ces magnifiques créatures, les chevaux qui courent des roses depuis 130 ans, ont joué un rôle important dans la tradition annuelle du Derby. L'idée du colonel M. Lewis Clark est bien plus qu'une simple course de chevaux. Il s'agit d'une institution américaine.

Il y a beaucoup d'idées fausses quand il s'agit de parier sur les chevaux. Certaines personnes pensent qu'il est impossible de faire du profit dans les courses de chevaux. D'autres pensent qu'il faut simplement jouer sur les favoris. D'autres encore pensent que la seule façon de gagner de l'argent est de parier sur les formidables courses et de prier de sorte à un miracle. Toutes certains idées sont fausses. Votre personne pouvez gagner de l'argent en pariant sur la majorité des chevaux, et vous n'avez pas besoin de choisir un ensemble de favoris tout le temps ou de algorithme course de chevaux parier souvent sur des arrivées miraculeuses.

Voici une information juteuse pour vous. Le préféré gagne la course (course de pur-sang) environ 33 % du temps. À travers conséquent, si vous pariez simplement concernant le favori, votre personne perdrez 67 % du temps. Comme les favoris ne paient que raement bien vraiment bien, vous finirez via perdre sur le long terme. Il n'en demeure pas moins que l'on peut gagner de l'argent en pariant sur ces favoris. Chaque course se révèle être différente. Dans certaines ruées, le favori peut même être un favori en argent. Dans d'autres, ce favori peut être un favori à 3 contre 1.

La façon pour lesquels vous trouverez vous pariez est tout aussi importante que un montant que vous misez. Un pari commun se trouve être appelé across the board. Lorsque vous faites ce pari, vous pariez en ce qui concerne le cheval pour gagner, placer et montrer. Au cas où le cheval arrive en premier, vous gagnez les 3 paris. Le pari spectacle est le pari le plus conservateur dans le secteur des courses de chevaux, et il rapporte tant. Il est courant de n'être payé que 20 centimes sur le dollar pour un pari de spectacle. De nombreux parieurs inexpérimentés placent un pari de spectacle "pour être sûrs", mais c'est une perte d'argent.

À minimum que le cheval non parte à un excellent prix (cote), un pari de spectacle est la proposition perdante. La plus grande façon de parier au sein de un bon cheval se révèle être de gagner et éventuellement de ne jamais faire de pari spectacle. Pensez-y de cette façon: si je vous disais que j'ai une proposition que vous pourriez gagner au sein de 33% des cas, et qu'elle vous rapportera 1-5, cela signifie que vous pariez 5$ et obtenez 1$, vous sauteriez sur? Bien évidemment, vous ne le feriez pas. C'est un peu ce que c'est que de faire un pari de spectacle sur un bon cheval.

Au bout du compte, la méthode avec laquelle votre personne pariez peut représenter cette moitié ou plus de votre potentiel de réussite. Les parieurs qui non comprennent pas cela se demandent pourquoi leur capital n'est pas plus important après leur journée "gagnante". Si vous placez les paris correctement, vous serez à mi-chemin de la prospérité en tant que turfiste de courses de chevaux. L'argent peut être et se trouve être gagné dans les courses de chevaux tous les jours. Les jours de grande affluence, il existe plus d'une quarantaine de possibilités de pari dont vous pouvez bénéficier. Un dernier conseil. Si une course ne vous en votre for intérieur est pas favorable - un peu de savoir - allez-y. Il y aura encore beaucoup d'autres courses chez parier.

AND THE REST - CAPSULE FILM REVIEWS FOR 2019

I see a lot of movies but don’t always have time to write a comprehensive review for every one of them. By catching up on screenings and screeners these past few weeks, I’ve managed to compile a small batch of artisanal, locally-sourced capsule reviews. While less wordy than usual, you still get my clever/groan-inducing titles, one to five star ratings, and their placement on the Gay Scale. So start your New Year’s Resolutions off right with these bite-sized morsels.

The Aging Of Innocence - Capsule Review: The Irishman ★★★★1/2

So much ink has been spilled about Martin Scorsese’s latest gangster epic, with naysayers lamenting the lack of strong female roles and supporters getting swept away by its grand presentation. While I also missed a Sharon Stone, a Sandra Bernhard, or a Lorraine Bracco in the mix, I loved this film. With a masterful script by Steve Zaillian, it deconstructs the genre, starting with its Goodfellas-like steadicam shot through a nursing home, to its mournful third act, which achingly lays out the consequences for this band of murderous thugs. With great performances from DeNiro, Pacino, and Pesci and a fascinating exploration of male ego and hubris, I’m in the camp who saw it twice and never felt its 3 1/2 hour length. The de-aging CGI work may have proven a little distracting at times, but I’m glad each actor had the chance to be their characters throughout.

Currently streaming on Netflix.

Performance Of A Lifetime Movie - Capsule Review: Harriet ★★1/2

Despite an extraordinary performance by Cynthia Erivo as legendary freedom fighter Harriet Tubman, there’s no getting around Director Kasi Lemmons’ surprising lack of imagination in depicting her life. Her earlier films suggest a strong and unique visual sense, but everything here plays out like an uninspired, standard coverage, bullet points overview we’re used to seeing in Lifetime movies. Still, Tubman remains such an important part of history and Erivo truly delivers, so see it but don’t expect cinematic greatness. Not helping matters is Terence Blanchard, Spike Lee’s talented, longtime composer, who contributes the most intrusive, overblown score of the year.

Faster, Speed Racer! Thrill! Thrill! - Capsule Review: Ford v Ferrari ★★★1/2

Proving they still make them like they used to, James Mangold delivers an old-fashioned true story detailing the competition between the two automotive companies to win the 1966 Le Mans. The film nails it glorious technicolor aesthetic and offers vibrant performances by Christian Bale, Matt Damon, and in one of my favorite film moments of the year, Tracy Letts with the most unexpected and wonderful crying scene. A pity its lack of character development doesn’t justify its extended running time, but for a movie-movie, you could do a lot worse.

Days And Days And Days Of Hell - Capsule Review: A Hidden Life ★★★1/2

After the one-two punch of Badlands and Days Of Heaven, the world waited 20 years for Terrence Malick to return with another masterpiece. Since then, he’s made films of quality but seems to keep spinning his wheels with the same whispered voiceovers, endless nature photography, and barely there narratives. I’m happy to report that his latest, based on the true struggles of a pacifist during Hitler’s reign, has a real narrative tucked inside his usual bag of tricks. Yes, every shot is awe-inspiring, but it takes 180 minutes to tell 90 minutes of story. Still, he’s carved out his own cinematic niche and this time has something profound to say about the human condition.

All’s Quite Dire On The Western Front - Capsule Review: Little Woods ★★★1/2

Tessa Thompson delivers a raw, quietly powerful performance as a parolee whose desperate financial circumstances point to a return to drug dealing in her small North Dakota town. Along with her sister, played by a lovely Lily James, they try to earn enough money to keep possession of their late mother’s house. Firmly planted in that “low key, indie Sundance” style along the lines of Winter’s Bone and Frozen River, it may not break new ground, but this deadly serious, hope-deprived story feels like America today, for better or for worse.

End This Already! - Capsule Review: Terminator: Dark Fate ★★

As much as I loved seeing another triad of strong women in a film (a nod to the Halloween sequel last year), and as sexy as Gabriel Luna is as the latest killing machine, I just didn’t care for a second what was happening onscreen. Despite some fun action set pieces, none of them have stuck with me. I loved having Linda Hamilton’s gravely, mature butch energy coupled with Mackenzie Davis’ tough, baby butch energy, and I prefer seeing Schwarzenegger in this role than as Governor, but this franchise needs to…um…terminate.

Jeez (Thelma and) Louise! - Capsule Review: Queen & Slim ★★★

Road movies sometimes have problematic screenplays due to their often rambling and random structures. While Queen & Slim tells an important story about the perils black Americans face during a routine traffic stop, its forward momentum as a fugitive tale loses steam and credibility every time our leads (a fantastic Jodie Turner-Smith and Daniel Kaluuya) stop to make love, ride horses, visit relatives, or go dancing. Although Melina Matsoukas delivers a striking directorial debut, Lena Waithe’s script, which still cuts to the bone, could have used a logic pass before going into production. She tries hard to jump through many hoops and sometimes hits many cultural zeitgeist bullseyes, but its just misses the mark due to a lack of narrative urgency.

(Sun)Dance Fever - Capsule Review: Brittany Runs A Marathon ★★★

Maybe it’s the altitude or the need to justify the expense of going to a film festival during a blizzard, but this movie, which won the Sundance Audience Award and started an intense bidding war, plays out like a pleasant, indie version of Trainwreck. Amy Schumer-a-like, Jillian Bell, delivers a fine performance as an unmotivated mess who changes her life by, well, look at the title of the film for chrissakes! While definitely sweet, elliptical, inspirational but somehow forgettable, it gets points for getting out of scenes faster than most films of its type, for its oddly off-the-cuff but funny final moment, and especially for a devastating sequence in which Brittany decimates a heavy woman.

Currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

Adoptive Behavior - Capsule Review: Luce ★★★1/2

Kelvin Harrison Jr. excels as Luce, an adopted American teen whose past as an Eritrean child soldier calls into question whether he’s a terrorist sociopath or the perfect high school valedictorian. With fantastic support from Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, and especially Octavia Spenser as a History teacher with a healthy distrust of Luce, Harrison’s unnerving performance keeps you guessing up through the very last, chilling frame.

High Tide/Low Tide - Capsule Review: Waves ★★★1/2

Playing another teen who can’t live up to society’s expectations, Kelvin Harrison Jr. electrifies again in Troy Edward Schults’ fluidly directed, unconventional drama. Unfortunately, while the first half has tremendous power as we watch this young man’s total flameout, the second half loses considerable steam. Still worth a look for the vivid performances, the great cinematography, and the elliptical storytelling style.

A Different Kind Of Thing - Capsule Review: I Lost My Body ★★★1/2

Jérémy Clapin’s award winning animated feature uses a fractured timeline to tell the story of a severed hand which seeks to reunite with its host, a lonely Pizza Delivery Man. Prior to whatever event led to his amputation, he stalks a young woman he grows to love. While the characters may seem cold and distant, a palpable sense of longing permeates every frame of this fascinating film. I would have preferred a less obtuse ending, but this is French existentialism, so don’t expect an Addam’s Family tone or a completely filled-in storytelling experience.

Currently streaming on Netflix.

Black Savior - Capsule Review: Just Mercy ★★★

This true story of a black attorney who, in the late 80s/early 90s attempts to exonerate black death row inmates, features vibrant performances by Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx and a refreshing lack of a white savior. Think about it. Had this been made in the 90s, Kevin Kline would have starred, truth be damned. While strong, especially in its depiction of a man bravely advocating for his community, it suffers from a very 90s presentation. Still, what it lacks in a true filmmaker’s voice, it more than makes up for it with good old-fashioned storytelling and an offbeat, charming chemistry between our two leads.

Cool One-Handed Luke - Capsule Review: Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker ★★★1/2

As a casual Star Wars fan, I’m less steeped in the lore and more invested in the Saturday matinee whiz bang, kinetic action of the franchise. I really don’t know a Boba Fett from a Bib Fortuna, and that’s ok. Sure, it may undo a lot of plot elements The Last Jedi laid out and has an annoying habit of refusing to let dead characters stay dead or in one case actually die at all, but I just loved the quest for the macguffin in order to kill the Big Bad. It’s fun, easy to follow, and has spirited performances from our leads, especially Oscar Isaac, who has more than a touch of Harrison Ford’s charisma. It has an unpretentious quality that feels less like a grand finale and more like a good resting place before the inevitable continuations in some form or another. Major “Boo! Hiss!” for its handling of Keri Russell, Lupita Nyong’o and Kellie Marie Tran, who get the eyes only, barely there, sidelined treatment respectively…and I see you Pixar Lamp disguised as a new droid! I see you!

Killing Me Hardly - Capsule Review: Clemency ★★★

Intentionally austere and drab, Clemency features a fine, brittle performance by Alfre Woodard as a Prison Warden who gets more and more affected by the executions she oversees. Aldis Hodge also excels here as the next inmate on Woodard’s list. A quiet, moody, visually disciplined film with so much to read in between the lines, it’s still a bit of a slog, although Woodard plays drunk better than most actors. So come for the Johnny Walker Black but stay if you’re in a contemplative mood.

All Children Left Behind - Capsule Review: One Child Nation ★★★★

What this Sundance Grand Prize Jury Award-winning documentary may lack in filmmaking technique, it more than makes up for it emotionally in this harrowing accounting of China’s decades spanning but now defunct One-Child Policy. Showing the issue from many points of view, the law may have seemed like a good idea for population control, but quickly descended into forced abortions and sterilizations, kidnappings, abandonment, destruction of property, separation of families, and lives ruined. A heartbreaking look at what happens when women don’t have control over their bodies and the patriarchy exerts its power over a population. The chilling propaganda on display and the faces of those who suffered make for a terrifying, unforgettable, and highly relevant film. This brutal policy began in 1979 and ended in 2015, just a few years ago. Think about that.

Currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

Industrial Resolution - Capsule Review: The Aeronauts ★★1/2

The somewhat true story of a balloonist (Felicity Jones) and a meteorologist (Eddie Redmayne) who team up to soar higher than anyone has before in order to better predict the weather, is oddly threadbare and plays out like a 19th century Gravity. It does feature some thrilling set pieces and stellar cinematography by George Steel. While you truly feel the cold and agonize over the increasingly dire circumstances, the air isn’t the only thing that’s thin here.

Currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

Achy Breaky Bloody Bastard Heart - Capsule Review: Wild Rose ★★★1/2

Directed and shot by the same people who made The Aeronauts, Jessie Buckley earns her bonafides as a Scottish parolee, complete with ankle bracelet, who aspires to make it as a country singer in Nashville. While breaking no new ground with its “Quaint Little UK Village” vibe we’ve seen a gazillion times before, its success rests squarely on Buckley’s more than capable shoulders and a wonderful final song written by none other than Mary Steenburgen. It also features fine work by Julie Walters and Sophie Okonedo. Still, as unlikely as they make it seem for a non-American to make it in the country music world, I wanted to shout “Keith Urban” repeatedly at the screen!

Rust Belt Blues And Reds - Capsule Review: American Factory ★★★★

Maybe because I grew up in Ohio and witnessed firsthand the decline of the auto industry, this incredible documentary about a shuttered GM plant in Dayton getting a new life from an anti-Union Chinese billionaire ranks among the year's finest. Like a slow-moving pileup, the film builds and builds towards an inevitable crash. With sit-down interviews relegated to voiceovers, this scrupulous film makes you care about the people it follows while taking you on a fascinating cross-cultural journey. The fact that the filmmakers had access to all of the parties involved comes across as a miracle. It’s impossible to forget the distraught workers’ reactions every step of the way.

Currently streaming on Netflix.

Mini Driver - Capsule Review: The Report ★★★

There’s a really good film about the amoral detention and torture tactics sanctioned by the George W. Bush presidency and it’s called Zero Dark Thirty. Meanwhile, The Report, plays out like a dull, disconnected melding of Spotlight and All The President’s Men as we watch Adam Driver’s depiction of Daniel Jones under the auspices of Senator Dianne Feinstein (a fine but fairly one-note Annette Bening) put together an unwieldy report to expose the government’s tactics. While Driver does well and shows great passion and alacrity with his bulky speeches, the whole film feels like a slow-cooked beef chili served at a Vegan Barbecue. It just kind of sits there.

Currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

Troy Schulte announces retirement after a decade as KC City Manager

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — City Manager Troy Schulte will retire after his contract expires next year.

Schulte, who has been at the helm for a decade, made the announcement in a statement Tuesday.

“I’ve made this decision with a sense of pride and nostalgia,” Schulte said. “Serving as KCMO’s City Manager for the last decade has been the greatest and most rewarding professional achievement of my life and I am so proud of all we have accomplished, working on behalf of the citizens of Kansas City.”

Schulte’s contract expires Feb 29, 2020.

City Manager Troy Schulte

Schulte has worked in city government for 21 years. Before taking over as city manager in 2011, he worked in the city’s budget office.

During his tenure, the city has seen major changes, including a multi-million dollar bond program, the creation of the streetcar system, new convention center hotel and the approval to build a new airport.

Schulte’s announcement came as somewhat of a surprise to Mayor Quinton Lucas, with whom Schulte has had disagreements, particularly over development of the new airport.

During a news conference, Lucas said he expected Schulte to seek out other opportunities, but did not know an announcement was imminent.

“I think on the whole, he’s been a good manager,” Lucas told reporters at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

Lucas will be tasked with nominating a candidate for the position. The candidate will then have to be approved by the city council.

“I want somebody who understands the needs of every part of the city. I think it’s fair to say that there are a lot of people who are happy with the way things are going and have gone. There are other people for whom their quality of life has not improved,” he said.

Mayor Quinton Lucas speaks to reporters on the search for a new city manager

A nationwide search for someone to fill the position begins Wednesday. Lucas said one of the top priorities is making sure the airport is completed on schedule.

“We need to make sure we get some projects done and done on time and with responsibility to the budget,” he said. “The airport is a big part of it. We have a deadline of 2023, before the NFL draft. I look forward to make sure we get that project done.”

Lucas also said they’re seeking a diverse field of candidates.

“It’s also not lost on me that this city in its long history…has never had a woman city manager. We’ve only had one city manager of color, so I want to make sure we know we’ll get diverse candidates and conduct a nationwide search in connection with that.”

Dear Gus & Baby #2,

I'm in Fort Worth today for an all-day meet with our Water Team to develop ways to communicate their messages over the next year. It's always good to collaborate with folks we don't normally collaborate with. I read a book called Range by David Epstein recently and all day today I kept coming back to the idea in that book that to solve some problems, it can be extremely beneficial to bring in people who are from completely different backgrounds. It felt like some of that was happening today.

Dad.

Fort Worth, Texas. 5.5.2021 - 2.19pm.

TKC EXCLUSIVE AND BREAKING NEWS!!! POLLING REVEALS APRIL 4TH GO BONDS CONFRONT KANSAS CITY VOTER DISTRUST AMID CITY HALL BROKEN PROMISES!!!

Supporters of the Kansas City $800,000,000 in general obligations bonds proposal work diligently to reassure voters that their money will be spent wisely whilst well-deserved skepticism and doubt challenge this dubious assertion. To wit . . . TKC EXCLUSIVE AND KICK-ASS DATA GLEANED FROM POLLSTERS AND OUR BLOG COMMUNITY REVEALS DEEP-SEATED SKEPTICISM OF CITY HALL ASSURANCES!!! Here's the data point that has Kansas City consultants and politicos scared and increasingly lashing out at their critics. 2/3rds of active voters think City Hall will spend GO BOND money on projects other than infrastructure repair - Mainly, the airport, the new Downtown Convention Hotel and the streetcar. To that end, last night the City Manager pleaded with a small crowd at the Midtown League of Women Voters regarding the impending tax . . .

“Not a dime of this money can be spent on the airport,” Troy Schulte said. And while we're certain that the heart of the City Manager is pure and he's saying what he truly believes . . . History suggests otherwise. Don't just trust the data so graciously shared with TKC, let's take a quick look at recent local history that powers current voter cynicism. Not so long ago Mayor Sly James was FACT CHECKED about his contention that Kansas City can't borrow money from the airport.

"The city borrowed money from the airport in 2010. Then, during this mayor’s tenure, the city renegotiated the debt to extend the life of the loan to 2016." Also, just last year Mayor Sly said that Kansas City need to "hit pause" on the airport but later restarted the effort to champion the very same single-terminal that voters objected to less than two months after his announcement. And then . . . The corrupt and widely disputed secret and gerrymandered vote for the streetcar and its latest extension offers a reason to doubt the good faith of local government . . .

A quote from someone much smarter than TKC on this topic . . . Kansas City Public Library Honcho Crosby Kemper III says the streetcar vote was "one of the most corrupt elections in Kansas City since the Pedergast era." Sadly, City Hall didn't learn anything from the negative perception of that vote because we're doing the same thing again very soon. Finally . . . The strongest advocates of the Downtown Convention Hotel claim that Kansas City enjoys 24 million tourists a year and needs this kind of EPIC capacity . . .

Thankfully, our community FACT CHECKED FAKE NEWS numbers from VisitKC which are higher than Denver and widely disbelieved by anyone even vaguely familiar with math. In fairness, the answer to all of this bad faith from voters is an elementary rhetorical ploy . . . "If the city passes all three GO Bond questions, the mayor and the city manager’s office will provide city residents with a report card at the end of each year that tells you exactly what projects were completed, how much they cost, where they were, and what projects are planned for the year ahead."

We checked this promise from the campaign site . . . GOOD NEWS!!! GO BOND SUPPORTERS ALREADY EARNED AN A+ FOR THIS REPORT CARD EVEN BEFORE VOTERS APPROVED THE MONEY!!! Still, TKC mockery and the legacy of City Hall duplicity simply starts this conversation . . .

We don't even want to get into the fact that Mayor Sly James touted the Fight For $15 minimum wage increase during his reelection campaign and throughout 2015 but then HE VOTED AGAINST THE MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE JUST YESTERDAY. For those who might doubt the data and examples that we have humbly offered this morning . . . Here's a simple question to our blog community . . . DESPITE THE DEARTH OF DEETS ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIR IN THE BALLOT LANGUAGE: DO YOU TRUST CITY HALL TO SPEND $800,000,000 IN GO BONDS AS THEY'VE PROMISED??? We're waiting to be convinced that Kansas City is really excited about paying more property taxes and believes the talk from 12th and Oak after being burned so many times. You decide . . .
