Jackson County, Missouri voters approved the multimillion dollar rich guy welfare program, um, er, stadium renovation project, but narrowly voted down the related rolling roof project.
Jackson County political machine officials of all stripes vow to keep offering up the Truman Sports Complex Rolling Roof until the voters give in and approve it.
Yeah, I voted for both of them, but I didn’t like it. Well, actually, the rolling roof concept is still very neat from an engineering geek point of view. It’s just too bad that the people who’ll make the money off of it (the politically connected cronies of the Jackson County machine plus the sports team owners) can’t figure out a way to pay for it without taxing a bunch of people who won’t benefit.
