The Star evaluates Kansas City's past, present and, really, future, given our spending and lack of leadership and vision. It's a good article, really, a great interpretation:
KC is paying a big price for falling behind
It's a good, smart, brief read:
"Kansas City’s overall outstanding government debt of $2.32 billion works out to $5,028 owed by every resident. That’s the second highest load when stacked up against 10 other peer cities (see chart on link, below).
Could the Mayor's streetcar line and the convention hotel happen?
Sure, I guess. It could. Possibly.
Is it likely?
Given the lack or weakness of leadership locally (and even nationally), I wouldn't put money on it.
