Oh and save another 3-9% for a new terminal further down the road to account for construction inflation costs. Man did we score big today or what KC?

I think it was the right move to delay the vote given the polls... Although I found the way he presented it as weak.

Clams <3 Sly.... I think it's a great announcement for that alone. 2017 this will be back with more info for voters.

this is a good opportunity for sly james to bridge voters on both sides of the issue by delivering a realistic airport proposal.  but he won't, because he's sly james.  this single terminal proposal will never pass, not today and not in 2017.

I agree with your first comment. I think better education to the options and why will move the needle the 10%. Kemper renovation would be a great exhibit on going the cheap option not working.

James will set his focus on the big infrastructure bond issue which will probably require a property tax increase.

Radio said we couldn't even afford the ad campaign to stump for the vote.   Also said, no airlines pulling out or dropping flights.

No airline is going to come out and say that. That's pretty much PR suicide. They did say they aren't expanding or looking to being in bigger planes with our current config.


Who is we? Any ad campaign would have came from airlines and business community  putting money into it... The city in no way should spend money to stump for this....ever.

Radio said the airline was wiling to finance the changes, but refused to fund the campaign.  :dunno:

I'm sure the city business community would throw in as soon as the city decided to put it up for vote.  They are the biggest pushers of this whole thing.

You guys ever think about the population of KC who actually use the airport? I didn't take my first flight till I was in 8th grade and that was because grandma hooked me up. We have a lot of poors in this city. Taxing them for a new airport is rough ridin' redic!

Per Emo request....

You don't use the airport, you don't pay one cent for new terminal. There is no tax.
