6th District Council Members Graded ( by themselves)

http://www.kansascity.com/115/story/618633.html


The star asked the council members and the mayor to grade themselves.

Cathy Jolly: B
John Sharp: Incomplete because major issues, such as light rail, are unresolved.

Other than Sharp, every council member gave them self a B which is pretty weak.

Compare KC Schools on a map.

Here is a link to a website that compares schools shown visually on a map. According to their rankings there are some terrible schools in the 6th district.

On a scale of 0-5 there are plenty of 0's and 1's with Red Bridge Elementary showing the best as a 4 star.

Bannister TIF Plan in Full

Here is a link to the full Three Trails TIF plan. (It is a 794 page document so it will take awhile to download) I have not had a chance to read through it, but there are some breakdowns here and here. This is a huge development project in the 6th District and should bring plenty of jobs and get some people to spend money over here in the district.

Some Breakdowns:

Total Retail: 1,113,425 sqft
Total Office: 1,703,500 sqft
Total Hotel : 590 Guest rooms

6th District has the least amount of graffiti in the city.

According to the spreadsheet posted on the Mayor's Blog, out of 735 reported instances of graffiti to 3-1-1 from 1/1/2007 until today a mere 6 are from the 6th district. I have a hard time believing that only 6 pieces of graffiti are in our district. Are we not reporting them to 3-1-1 or are we really that clean?
