THANK...To Property Management BY TRUTH WATCH<br /> THANK YOU!!!<br /><br />I will finish the quotes of David Bower from Imagine KC Espisode 10 – Transit-Oriented Development.<br /><br />The interviewer asked how the new transit-oriented development is paid for.. John Copaken, KC Council member responded, that businesses, the city, federal gov't and SALES TAX would pony up for it. <br /><br />Bower said we're (Raytown) is what's referred to as as first-tier suburb. Look that up and see the definition fits the state of our city. I think not. <br /><br />Bower said, "The population age in our city is decreasing." and "Those young families are DEMANDING a different mode of transportation." (he means different than automobiles) and "Most of them are seeking homes with one garage for one car." <br /><br />Moderator interjects, talking about how people, especially young people are driving less (but he doesn't address fewer jobs, increasing unemployment and higher gas prices as huge contributing factors).<br /><br />Then Bower adds, "We are in the midst of creating a walkable community in Raytown to make sure of that. That you can live downtown, you can shop downtown, you can get your groceries or you can go to the shoe shop. You can get all the crucial elements that young families are looking for without having to get their car out of the garage AND with the commuter rail happening to go right through downtown Raytown, eventually, that's an ideal setting for us."<br /> <br />Who is 'US' Bower? Is that MARC or is that Raytown? Which hat were you wearing that day? Have Raytown's citizens voted for or said that they'd like nothing more than a TRAIN coming right through downtown? Has the public here indicated they don't WANT to use their cars? Our city is 10 square miles for cyring out loud. I can trevass that pretty darned fast in my car and I moved to Raytown because I didn't WANT to live 'downtown'.... understood? <br /><br />On what planet have young families have DEMANDED buses and trains instead of cars? Have Raytown's citizens been made aware that some will be 'relieved' of their private property in order that MARC's plans for transit and redevelopment succeed instead of adhering to what the city has said THEY want? Do you give a rat's behind what Raytown wants or is it all about your desire to gain admiration and wealth as you sell us out to global governance? <br /><br />You cannot serve two mistresses ! <br /><br /><br />Susan Dolannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-42084250068535581682013-07-28T15:25:39.599-05:002013-07-28T15:25:39.599-05:00KMCCLA 7/28 12:19a re: Widipedia

I can spend hours on there, just reading, following links to whom knows where. However, I would never consider it to be a "legitimate" source, on the other hand, the sources sited -- often are legitimate. There have been studies that have shown -- for the most part -- that Wikipedia is just as accurate as a legitimate printed (or online now days) encyclopedia, and often is more current and up to date. However, once again, it goes back to the openness, and the fact that everyone can edit, makes it subject to bias, and abuse. <br /><br />As for Fire Chief and Fire Marshal -- from my understanding as a fire buff -- the fire chief is the "head" of the fire department. In some cases like the KCFD, he is role mostly bureaucratic, while in other departments it is more of a command role. The fire marshal, on the other hand, is the one who enforces the fire codes, does investigations.

That is why it was used as a source " an example". One can site State of Mo. Chapter 321, Rules for Mo. Fire Protection Districts Mo.gov, or research The Raytown Fire Progection District on the duties of Fire Marshall. It is an idea of where to research. And then there is comprehension; the word is May carry not Does carry on the Wikipedia site.

Drivers have been beaten and stabbed. Bus, train - makes no difference. And what is an elderly citizen to do?
