First off... Hello everyone! I think its time for a little rant that I have been longing for...

Why in the world does Funkhowser believe he deserves a raise? When is the last time anyone has ever applied for a job, and got a raise during their probationary period? "Oh, let me sit on my asz and decide to work once they pay me more" He's cutting budgets and is about to kill the already on life support KC Zoo with the $600,000 cut they faced now they have to increase admission by $1.00.

To hell with the MODot workers and City budget.  Theres a way it can fix itself over time... Let these people sitting in these over crowded jails downtown with Traffic tickets and unpaid warrants and petty crimes zip up the bright orange jump suits and BOOGEDY & span our city for 8 hrs a day...! I get up and work $9hr shifts to struggle day to day and these sons of b**ches are eating Ham and Cheese watching the Lakers on TV, shooting hoops and just sitting waiting for a 2009 courtdate for petty theft because jails are overcrowded and our courts system is backed up 9 mos. When they can be doing something productive and even teaching them work skills and how it feels to get your hands dirty...

 There is no reason this isnt already in place. There shouldnt be some petty thief sitting in a cell for free paying back his debt to society with time while it costs us $1000's of dollars a mo taking care of these miscreants. Take his/her asz and make them scrub the grafitti walls downtown and do landscaping from Independence to Downtown along I-70 and Hwy 71. How much neglect will this city take? Thats almost as similar to the oil we have in Alaska we refuse to touch. We have resources here to make our city Top Notch and we cant get the Munster Mayor to figure it out...

I've worked the courts system before... KCPD arrests a nickel and dime drug dealer, a car thief or a trespasser  with approx. $500.00-$2000 warrants, he goes to jail, bails out for $100 or a FREE signature Bond, then doesn't report to court and is reissued the same $500 warrant. Gets caught again and sits in jail a few days, goes to video court and is out once again to ROAM FREE on our streets with a slap on the hand. This vicious cycle continues for months and even years and our city has yet to collect the $500 he owes it. Why not put his asz is jail and be ordered to pay the $500 or... Make him/her join a WORKER GROUP that goes out and works for 8 hrs on our roads and neighborhoods at $50 a day until the debt is paid off???

Thats 10 days of service to our great city for FREE! That way we dont have to cut jobs and budgets when someone else can fill those positions at $0 to our city and we can keep the hard workers paid, budget balanced, and even create more jobs in the correctional fields to supervise these criminals when out working and its a WIN-WIN...

I dont care how their feelings and dignity have been affected. How should we feel with Spraypaint on the sides of new buildings and left to walk home when our cars get stolen. Just the same, you do the crime then damnit, you do the time!

This is TRULY a form of JUSTICE!
