BALL GAMES WITH OUR MONEY at bottom of

and JUSTICE?
So are
we
The $2 Million Dollar fund transfer
from the General Fund to the Ball Teams was never voted into
law. The $2 Million Dollar fund transfer
is a line item in the budget. No one seems to know why or
how it got there. There is NO contractual obligation
to keep giving it to the ball teams. There is NO CONTRACT
that specifies that the $2 Million must be given to the ball
teams or the city is in default. All of the statements you hear
are suggestions. All of the statements you hear
quoted --just ask for the exact location of the quoted
statement. They can not and will not show it to the people
because it does not exist!! Do not let TALK RADIO and
TELEVISION PUNDITS convince you that we are doing anything
wrong. It is time to spend the $2 Million
on more urgent situations like Fire, Ambulance and
Police. If the loud vocal elected officials
and loud public citizens want the ball teams to have more
money tell them to contribute their own money. GIVING AWAY $2 MILLION DOLLARS
of KANSAS CITY MISSOURI Tax Money to Millionaire ball
players & Billionaire Ball Team Owners. ____________________________ Want to receive our
