You would assume that since we got to 50k we would, but you would be wrong... The commission voted it down a couple weeks ago... citing budgetary concerns.

THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS

Bad news though bros... the free parking isn't going to last forever. To give perspective, at most airports parking revenue is 40-70% of the total revenue of the airport.

yeah, free parking is very towny. have to get rid of that.

typical townies with delusions of grandeur. without free parking, mhk will wither and die.

"here's five dollars to park in cornfield. thanks!" lmao @ these townies.

There are two guys on the commission who refuse to vote for anything that spends money... the previously mentioned tea-party nut jobs

Manhattan really needs some new blood to shake things up and be a bit more progressive. The old guard is having trouble realizing Manhattan isn't a sleepy small college town anymore.

Get this... RCPD gets to set their (bloated) fiscal budget through the law board without any say from the city commission, i.e. the elected officials. So say we, as a community, wanted to decrease spending on renovating jail facilities or hiring more officers to bust young whipper snappers for public services like public transit or rental inspections, etc... we'd have to do so with whatever is left over after they set their budget.

what would suggest would be a good way for the citizenry to destroy rcpd (and other pds)?

politics and talking to people that i don't already know pretty well are not for me. also, tortuga is all turtled up and i doubt he'd want a part of it either. i do have a hunch that new goEMAW.com poster of the week camKSU would be good fit.

we'll start the CAMpaign tomorrow morning. oh man. i'm just too good sometimes.

no one told you to run a 1890s style campaign. run an internet campaign, just don't let lsoc find out.

I'm flattered doods

I feel like things have really took off for me... In 24 hours I have managed to go from unknown "once in a blue moon" poster to recently appointed "poster of the week" to now all but locking up Manhattan's next commissioner opening...

My whole "someone crap on the coats" posting style has really paid off in securing the

contingency

Feels good fellas... feels real good

My campaign slogan...

camKSU - untuck manhattan

I realize that 90% of Manhattan works for K-State or through some distant connection is employed by them, but it's about rough ridin' time the city try to create a little progress without K-State basically forcing them to do it, we finally got a university president with some vision, it would be nice if someone or some city council had some vision and balls too (I'm not really sure how the downtown discovery area ever happened, so don't even bring that up)

steve dave · « **Reply #42 on:** July 29, 2011, 09:14:22 PM »

we have, like, more than $100 in the goEMAW paypal account that I'm perfectly fine having you buy 10 t-shirts with to spread the word.

there have to be a least 10 or so townies that post here, plus prolly another 10 that lurk. so that's twenty votes before you even start. what do you need to be elected to the commissioner gig? maybe 150-200 votes? the townie posters could prolly pi that many townie friends & relatives into voting.

basically, just say you'll take the job, and you're in.
