the only potential for the taxpayer to be on the hook would be if somehow Edgemoor and it's bonding company failed, and the taxpayers had to fund completion.   But that's high, highly, HIGHLY unlikely.

but not impossible and claiming no risk the the taxpayer is, as noted, disingenuous.  so, as usual, slyin is slyin in an effort to further his agenda

pro new terminal business case:  in spite of reality, we anticipate passenger growth rates in order to make this business case float above the red
pro new terminal people:  we ignore reality that shows no growth through the last decade, passenger growth will happen and the business case assumptions are correct
facts:  passenger rate goes down YoY
pro new terminal people:  well passenger rate would have gone up if it weren't for this damn old terminal

lulz

Not accurate. Taxpayers would still not be on the hook. The airport authority would work with the city to issue airport bonds...still supported by airport revenues, not taxpayers.

Not accurate. Kci passenger grew for 36+ months straight and assumption of growth is less than 2%... Below normal historic growth rate

New terminals in other cities has not led to increase in ticket prices for those markets.

Well, the ticket prices will increase - that's how MCI is being financed - coupled with investment from the airlines.

That line item will increase...yes. the total ticket costs still align with average flight prices across the country....our PFC (not finalized) should still be below US airport average

This all may be true.  But I presume Edgemoor's private financier has projected what the ticket increases will have to be to make the financing work and it would make sense that this is information possessed by the City.  It would be alarming if this due diligence has not been done. 

I think this information should be made available.

it's probably more likely a taxpayer gets killed by a great white shark than Edgemoor and it's bonding company going broke....

KCI statistics page doesn't go back to 2007 but there is a presentation showing passenger levels since 1972-2014 here (page 33):

http://www.flykci.com/media/1434/23feb16-airport-committee-air-service-plus-financing-plan.pdf

Showing 2014 slightly above 2006 (below 2007/08 as we had the Midwest express hub then)

Since 2014 YoY
2015 +3% http://www.flykci.com/media/1428/stats-2015-dec.pdf
2016 +5.4% http://www.flykci.com/media/1583/stats-2016-december.pdf
2017 provided in post earlier.

The victim told police she believes the car was a black Nissan or similar sedan model, with Chiefs flags flying from two windows on either side of the car.

Kansas City’s full-court press earned it a place on several lists of the “most desperate stunts to woo Amazon.” Take a bow, KC.
