Would you like to see change at City Hall?
Are you a good candidate to run for office?
Do you know someone that would be
suited for City Council or mayor that might
make a change for Fairway?
I have heard that the police force under Simmons has acquired assault rifles and terrorist-type training. Also, that we the residents now own the most expensive type of police cars with all kinds of special decals, fancy paint jobs, expensive add-ons and top-of-the-line interiors, nione of which increases our safety although it does increase our cost. Do we own more police cars than we have officers? We've had a safe city for years - without the Simmons add-ons. What gives?

Page 6 Fairway: Five candidates on ballot......
"St.Clair said he intends on keeping Fairway residential as well. But he insists commercialization is financially necessary for any city to flourish".
The article goes on to say he helped attract new
businesses in Fairway such as Strouds, Russell
Stover and the Research Triangle bio-science
project in the Fairway Office Park.
It's clear in the statement above that St.Clair's
goal is to create commercialization. However,
commercializing Fairway will not improve
the value of property for Fairway residents.
The taking of homes for commercialization
will only reduce the residential ambience that
brought residents to Fairway in the first place.
Also note.....St.Clair is describing the Research
Triangle bio-science project as an financial
gain to Fairway residents? I thought the
bio-science project would be tax free?
Therefore not adding any financial gain to
Fairway.

I have been alarmed for sometime at the hogwash posted to this site and concerned at the damage it may cause by confusing and misinforming the public. So I was heartened when I saw that the sight, while still anonymous provided a blog space. Unfiltered Fairway Discussion Board. And, indeed the software is such that all comments do appear on the blog—albeit briefly if they are not in-tune with the site’s anti-Fairway government agenda. My past posts have all been deleted (filtered). If you are alarmed by what you see on this site and want facts and the actual truth about Fairway, then contact the City. The City has a legal and ethical responsibility to provide you with facts. This site can anonymously say whatever it wants under the protection of the First Amendment. I advise you to arm yourself with the facts before you jump to conclusions or vote. The City website is: Fairwaykansas.org
I wonder how long this post will last? I posted at 3 pm on 3/10/09.-Dane Lee, Ward 4 Councilmember
Thank you Danelee for your spam! You are fortunate that I do not reside in your ward; I would not support you. If you and your council members truly cared about the city of Fairway and its residents then you would immediately stop with this continued fiscal irresponsibility. Tell the mayor, to stop sending his newsletters filled with propaganda on my tax payer dime! Our trust of city government has been violated by your and the mayor’s efforts to circumvent the voice of the residents (continuously). I’m tired of it! Take your elected office and hit the road.
Thank you Anonymous for not filtering me. I appreciate you do not like it when the City refutes inaccuracies that support your agenda, but it is, in fact, the Mayor’s job to speak on behalf of the City. I know he took great care to sanitize his messages so they were just the facts and not political. He was in fact concerned about negative political repercussions, but felt his duty to defend the City was more important than his campaign. In these trying economic times, I feel it is very important to properly inform citizens about the economic status of their government. In the case of Fairway, we are in great economic condition, built to endure the storms. Our debt was a key piece of storm proofing the city (not just literally, but figuratively too). Unlike many of our peers, we now have well-maintained infra-structure (no goblins in the closet). We don’t have to worry about a future financial crisis like fixing a bridge that has collapsed into the creek, or deteriorating property values because we have flooding or dilapidated streets. What’s more, your City maintained its infrastructure within its means—we did not raise the tax rate. Your statement about fiscal irresponsibility sends the false message that Fairway is in a fiscal crisis. If that were the case, how did we get financing for this debt from impartial investors at the “lowest rate” our financial advisor has ever seen? There is a very direct correlation. Low rate = good credit risk, a financially stable city. Your Ad Homen attacks against me are humorous, and go with the territory. But don’t defame our City, she is in great shape.
Among the many alarmingly inaccurate pieces of information I have found on this anonymous website are the scurrilous indictments of Fairway’s Police Department. When asked using a statistically accurate independent citizen’s survey (not a biased and confusing petition that has been used to support numerous agendas), citizens tell us that public safety is a paramount concern and they are very satisfied with public safety in Fairway. Indeed public safety is one of the factors that make us all feel safe and secure in our homes and it also protects the value of our property. Therefore, this has long been a priority of our City. Recently the City of Prairie Village analyzed the property crime statistics for the areas immediately around Fairway. They discovered that Prairie Village had extremely good statistics in this regard, underlining that their efforts as a PD were working well. Fairway’s numbers were twice as good as Prairie Village’s, despite a closer proximity to higher crime areas and arguably a more target rich environment for property crime. The only conclusion is that the Fairway PD is doing something very right to garner such impressive statistics and broad public support. As Fairway’s Police Commissioner I and the Police Committee are resolved to improve on these high marks whenever possible.
Recently the Chief of Police wrote an article for Focus on Fairway addressing some of the concerns voiced in this website. I think it makes a great, objective counterpoint. I have included it below.
ARTICLE FROM FOCUS ON FAIRWAY
I am occasionally asked – either directly or indirectly – about some aspects of this great Police Department. Why do we have a certain number of police officers? How did we arrive at that number? Do we have more officers than a city our size warrants? Why do we make traffic stops? Why do we need such a “large” police station for a city our size? As citizens, you have every right to understand the manner in which your Police Department keeps you safe. The following should help answer these important questions.
Your Police Department employs nine sworn officers who provide the full spectrum of services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I am the only one who does not perform routine patrol duties, which is a common practice for Police Chiefs throughout this region. Of the remaining eight officers, seven (one lieutenant and six patrol officers) are assigned to the patrol division. The eighth officer, also a lieutenant, augments patrol but primarily handles all of the special services we provide the community as well as the logistical demands of the department.
How did we come up with that number of officers? Many years ago the City had fewer officers and relied on the Sheriff’s Department to patrol our streets and respond to calls for service during the overnight hours and on weekends. Then the City employed a combination of full time and part time officers to perform these duties on a 24/7 basis. Our last increase in manning levels occurred in 2004 when a neighborhood demand for increased traffic enforcement resulted in the hiring of one additional police officer.
I recently read where somebody correlated our geographical size of just over one square mile to the number of officers we should employ. There are hundreds of communities across America which occupy this small geographic space...and the numbers of sworn officers in these cities varies widely. This is because the mere size of any city falls short of describing the citizenry, the economic and social makeup of the city and surrounding region, or the expectations placed on the Police Department by those citizens. Our manning level seems to be a good fit for this community. One only needs to look at the high approval levels our citizens expressed during the past two annual citizen surveys as well as our enviably low property crime rates as compared to our neighboring cities.
Another resident asked why we spend so much time and energy enforcing traffic laws. Traffic enforcement is just one of the three legs of policing I demand of our patrol officers. The other two legs are crime prevention and answering calls for service. Traffic enforcement is right near the top when it comes to police visibility in any community. You have a uniformed officer using a police car’s emergency lights to initiate a contact with an unknown driver. This contact not only impacts the person in the stopped vehicle but every other person who drives within sight of the event. Unfortunately, some people come to Fairway with less than honorable intentions. Seeing an active police presence may encourage these people to commit their crimes elsewhere. If an officer spreads these traffic stops throughout the city during his or her shift the end result is a substantial residual crime prevention imprint.
Traffic enforcement is also a necessary activity. The vast majority of people driving on our major roadways neither began their trips nor arrived at their destination within our borders. Their sole focus is getting through our City and continuing their travels. I used to marvel at the speeds traffic would enter the City from the west on Shawnee Mission Parkway. This is now the exception rather than the rule. People seem to be more aware of our speed limits, which are in place to protect our citizens as well as those traveling through our wonderful city. By enforcing traffic laws are we encouraging them to avoid driving through Fairway? Good question, but I doubt anybody in our city is overly concerned about having to contend with less traffic in Fairway!
Did I mention the impact traffic enforcement has on reducing traffic accidents? We began placing particular emphasis on traffic enforcement in 2007. The end result was a 40 percent decrease in traffic accidents that year. And, thanks to continued emphasis in traffic safety we reduced the accident rate even more in 2008.
The equation is amazingly simple: Increased compliance with traffic-related ordinances + reduced accident exposure = a safer environment for our citizens.
Finally, the newly renovated Police Station is a vast improvement over our previous facility. The old City Hall building was unhealthy due to cramped work space, mold, and insect infestation. It also lacked space for basic police functions, such as officer work areas, evidence storage facilities, and separate male and female locker rooms. And it failed to provide an environment which maintained any degree of privacy or personal dignity for both victims and offenders. We were successful in addressing all of these issues, thanks to the persistence of our governing body and the support of our residents.
As always, citizens are encouraged to visit with me when questions about Fairway’s safety and security come to mind. I can be reached by calling 913-262-2364, emailing jsimmons@fairwaypd.org, or dropping by the Police Station at 5252 Belinder.
Comment for DaneLee,
You write " the city has a legal and ethical responsibility to provide the facts".
Perhaps you've not used your own city newsletter
to "get the facts" ? Three weeks ago I wrote on
the "Fairwaykansas.org" to find out what is
suppose to happen on Rock Creek due to the
huge boxes being put in at 53rd & Mission Rd.
This will increase the amount of storm water
coming from Roeland Park.
Now we have big "boxes" pushing water through
the Shawnee Mission Indian Mission, behind
the houses on Mission Rd and into the Windsor
Box to l meet up with Mission, KS storm water
and fill the "holding pond" or whatever you call
that under the Mission Bridge. No one in the
city seems to have any information about what
will happen to Rock Creek behind the houses
on Mission Road and Windsor Lane if that
holding pond can't hold the water that's
coming.
Again....I asked that question on our so
called "public website" and never got a response.
I've talked to several residents that have tried the
www.fairwaykansas.org website for answers to important questions and received no answers.
It's filled with trivial stuff like ribbon ceremonies, upcoming movies at the park and just about
everything except "the facts".
My neighbor is trying to sell his house and called
City Hall to find out how to get help on getting out
of the flood plain . He said the response he got
at City Hall was not only "not helpful".....but they
acted like they didn't even know what he was talking about. And didn't care to help.
You write a good "blog", but reading through the
lines it sounds like your just campaigning just
like the letters St.Clair has been sending out
telling everyone how great things are in Fairway
because he did a survey and that's what the
survey is saying! Hey.....that's what is hogwash!

Another comment for DaneLee,
DaneLee says, " unlike many of our peers, we now
have a well-maintained infra-structure. We don't have to worry about a future financial crisis like fixing a bridge that has collapsed into the creek, or deteriorating property values because we have flooding or dilapidated streets ".
Well DaneLee ....not so soon ! The verdict is not out
yet on what you call "storm proofing". Perhaps your
not aware of the recent 1" rain we had over a 24 hour period which filled up much of the creek bed.
If this rain had all come in 1/2 hour or so, it may
have backed up back through the Windsor Box to
Rock Creek along Mission Road and Windsor Lane.
I do not believe the previous Mission Bridge was
collapsing into the creek. I believe you are exaggerating and again trying to make people feel
this "sense of urgency" to fix a problem that was
not as big of a problem as you like to project.
I've lived here for 25 years and I've never once seen
the water over Shawnee Mission Parkway at Mission
Road which has been stated as a problem by the current mayor.
And as far as your statement about not having to
worry about deteriorating property values because
of flooding roads or dilapidated streets.......no.....
we just need to worry about our property values
deteriorating because who wants to live in a city
where people are forced to sell their homes to the
city to create an over built bridge? And what does
it say about a city that builds an "over built " bridge
and then tries to figure out what to do with the
big hole dug underneath it? Now we get to spend
$25,000 for some group out of California to
write a grant to get the funding to "green it up".
But wait....then it's another $2 Million to make
it "green space".
But wait.....ah yes.....don't worry...we have new
"massive federal stimulus bill that , as Bob Mapes
puts it, " we can pick off some low-hanging fruit".
(Use someone else's money)
And .....per Bob Mapes, our city treasurer,
"Law enforcement is a ripe area for picking up
grants now" ......right.....just what we need....dump
more money into the police department. Hey....
maybe we can get two more motorcycles?
Kathy
Egads,
I tried to read the paragraph after paragraph
DaneLee filled the blog with from Chief Simmons
newsletter article ! What is that all about?
If we were a community the size of Lenexa
or Olathe ......maybe I could consider that kind of an article necessary. But in this case....it sounds like
another "defending the spending " article to me.
Kathy
Fairway and storm water issues:
If you'd like to see how a city should come together
to handle storm water issues.....go to
www.ci.lenexa.ks.us and check out:
Rain for Recreation.
The City of Lenexa developed a marketing
campaign to involve all of Lenexa to understand
the needs for storm water improvements.
Our city of Fairway approached sections of
neighborhoods and created easements in pockets
of areas to gain control of the land in and around
the creek bed.
There has not been continuity on the storm water
work and the creek bed "improvements".
For instance......the Windsor Box is built in conjunction with the Mission Bridge.....then comes
the storm water boxes at Mission Road and 53rd St.
with all the creek bed in between those boxes
left in their natural state. Recently discovered, only
from talking to a new neighbor on the Mission Road
side of Rock Creek
......that work on the section behind
houses 5333,5335,5337 Mission Road will have
creek bed " improvements " starting this August.
However.......all the rest of the creek bed that
leads up to those houses ( on Shn Msn Indian Msn
property) and the creek bed beyond those houses
leading to the Windsor box.....have not been
scheduled for any changes to their structure that
we know of.
Now....how can you widen and deepen portions of
a creek bed without changing the rest of the
creek bed that is in between?
We had an opportunity to look at this entire water
flow ....IF.....we hadn't been pushed into building
the Mission Bridge without an opportunity to know
more or vote on if the building of the bridge was
in the best interest of all concerned. The old bridge could have been reinforced until such
storm water issues were thought thru.
Just my personal observation.
Kathy
Please attend the "Friends of the Mission"
meeting March 19th at 6:30PM at the North
building on the hill. Even if
you have not signed up for membership
to become a "Friends" member, please
attend to show your support.
Showing interest will help
support the efforts to keep the Kansas Historical
Society from ever thinking of selling the land
again.
For more information contact Anita at the
Indian Mission office at 913-262-0867.
I moved to Fairway for the safety our police force provides, I also believe that Fairway should have complied with Federal and State Laws regarding Discrimination due to the Americans with Disablities act in 1993, not in 2008. The city ignored these issues for far to long. While not the greatest fan of John St. Clair thank goodness he finally helped the city resolve some of the ADA complince issues this city faces. I only hope whoever is the next mayor continues to work to comply with a law now 16 years old.

The city of Fairway has a long and storied tradition of excellence and being a great place to live and raise children in the Kansas City area. Once known for their concern for the bottom line as well as providing excellent police services, the city in the last few years has turned into a town of chaos and small town politics.
Now in Fairway, concerned residents have raised alarms on a myriad of topics with Fairway government officials, from eminent domain, to abuse of power, to the use of tax monies for non-core government services, to excess government regulations and spending. The Mayor has done everything in his power to silence his critics.
Now, the Mayor has used thousands of dollars of taxpayer's monies to essentially campaign for re-election by using Fairway City Newsletters. This is an election he could very well lose and should.
Mayor St.Clair is plain and simple a liberal that believes in government intervention, high taxes and government spending. He is not a man of the people . It's time for his defeat before his polices do even more harm in the wonderful city known as Fairway!
Whoa. I hope your reading this!

Public Forum/August 2, 2005/ Fairway City Hall
Stormwater review:
Opening Comments by (then) Councilman Pete Barham, Shairman of the Stormwater Taskforce.
"The Mission Road Bridge project will receive $1 Million in federal funding . The Finance Committee determined that the current budget cannont fund the various stormwater projects needed with in the City.
As a redult, they have recommended the establishment of a Stormwater Utility that will fund the various the various projects. The main revenue source of the Utility will come from a storwater utility fee that will be levied on every property within the city. He explained that residentail properties will be charged a user fee of $5.00 per month, $60.00 per year.
Councilman Barham stated that the City Council has the authority to establish a stormwater utility without a vote of the citizens.
Sure enough....check your taxes and you will
see you've been paying $60.00 per year for the
last 3.5 years for the Mission Road Bridge. And
you didn't get to vote on it.
Kathy
Many of you are starting to sound like the 9/11 truthers, you argue every point no matter what that makes your overall argument sound like. The bridge is too big because they estimated the storm runoff to be to high but there will be flash floods because the city doesn' estimate the runoff high enough. They are raising taxes for storm water but they aren't doing anything for storm water! Of course we want ADA complience but we shouldn't spend any money for it. The city should not spend a lot of money but lets sue them and make them run up $250,000+ legal fees. The city didn't do any of the things the petitioners claimed when they scared the citizens into signing but lets keep going suing even though we keep losing all our appeals. We need civility but lets sneer at and disrupt the council meetings so that we have to get kicked out by the police. We don't want to pay higher taxes but lets spend more money on rambling incoherent letters to every Fairway resident than any tax increase could ever cost us.
We want openness and transparency but when we showed powerpoint slide shows at council meetings, but we refused to give copies of said slide shows to the city so they can be made part of the record.
We say we want our freedom and small government, but hold sacred the indian mission our own little reminder of sanctioned government genocide and Enslavement.
Comment for Michael,
You might want to get your facts straight.
You sir, are paying for the campaign letters
Mayor St.Clair is sending out. You sir, have
not had to spend a dime to educate Fairway
residents to what they should have had
the right to vote on.
And you sir, have not had to to move
your family out of a Fairway home due to
eminent domain.
I'm happy for you that you received your
ADA compliance needs from the City.
No one is trying to take anything away
from you. People are just trying to state
the facts of the past and the concerns of
the future of Fairway.
Kathy
If your interested in "stopping government
intervention" even beyond what is happening
in the City of Fairway, attend the NE Johnson
County TEA Party on April 15th from 11AM to
1PM at Metcalf and W 61st Street.
This location is near Target and the Shawnee Mission
Post Office. Bring signs . Press releases and local
radio and TV stations are being invited.
There is an evening TEA Party in southern JO CO
at JCCC. go to kansascityteapartywordpress.com
My facts are straight, you are cherry picking facts again. I agree that the Mayor should not have sent so many letters out, but I do understand his wanting to correct many of the mistruths that the letters corrected. Also I believe the truth is only one house was bought using emmenint domain in the last few years. Most homeowners recieved and accepted generious buyouts and were happy to no longer fear their property being flooded. Also no one was made to "move out of Fairway" there continue to be plenty of homes for sale in Fairway the could have purchased. I have not spent money on "educating citizens" on mailings, but have spent much of my time on using tools of the 21st century and avenues open to all citizens to voice my opinion. And The City and citizens did "take" the ability for disabled or elderly citizens of Fairway to fully engage and take part in city services everyday that they did not have facilities that allowed full and seamless to all citizens ecspecially our most vulnerable.
I see that FairwayFreedomFighter either doesn't have the guts to post his real name, or is not proud enough of his opinion to own up to them.
Seldom in my life have I ever seen such a pitiful collection of rantings from clueless bozos. Thank god Dane Lee is still around to increase your collective IQ above that of a sewer rat. No wonder some of you still have "No Highway Bridge" signs in your yards. In fact, one of the Fairway nutcases mowed "Bitch" into his yard, right next to his highway sign bridge. How do I know? It is archived on Google. Nice. Guess who's campaign signs he has in his yard? Jerry Wiley's and JD Fair. Nice supporter to have on your side, guys.
Taxpayer, you are the biggest maroons of them all. Your complaints about the police chief are TOTALLY stupid. How does someone buy expensive decals? What is a fancy paint job? Anything above an Earl Schieb? What ARE the expensive add-ons? I doubt you have any more clue about that than anything else you said.
I look forward to April 7th, so all of your candidates are roundly defeated, just like Penny Gilbert was in the primary.
John Mack
Wow!!! Kathy Dix, I have never heard of someone that hates where they live so much!! Good god, move to Lenexa already!
I also love how you gripe about Dane Lee's "blog" (I have no idea what the quotes you use are for), yet your accumulation of senseless ramblings is just as lengthy. Nice. Try a little consistency with your reasoning. But, of course, your lack of logic IS consistent with your other fellow nutcases, as Michael so eloquently pointed out elsewhere in this "blog" (oops, there are those pesky quotes again).
I find it amusing that none of you nutcases campaigning have ever dared approach my front door to present your case to me. It would be SO easy to refute every campaign point you bring up. In fact, after a short while with me, you might very well realize the complete error of your ways and do the sensible thing and drop out of the race.
How many of the followers of this blog have reviewed the Neighborhood news section of the 4/1/09 morning paper? Take notice that only two of the three candidates for Mayor provided their background and plans for the future, that’s what I call open government! The naysayers in our City have constructed a Trojan horse and are attempting to roll it to the doors of City Hall; I think you know how that story turned out. Before you push that “cast vote” button next week please make sure you are truly informed on the issues. A candidate that does not or will not allow their background and views to be published for the public record clearly is not for open government.
Dear PJN,
Thanks for bringing up the fact that the KC Star
left out Jerry Wiley's candidate questionaire
on 4-1-09 ! If you would check out the
KC Star's apology on 4-3-09 and then the
printing of Jerry Wiley's questionaire in the
JoCo Neighborhood News on the 2nd page,
you will see there is no concern for background
information.
Kathy
Mr. Mack,
Not sure who you are or how you came up with
the idea that I hate Fairway. On the contrary,
I love Fairway.....that's why I'm for a change
in our city government.
The current city government doesn't think
enough of the residents to let us vote on
our future outcome. The current city
government continues to spout all the great
things they've done for Fairway, but forget to
be clear about what financial outcome of these
improvements will be for the residents of Fairway.
It's apparent that the current Mayor has not been
able to restore the culture of civility and mutual respect that existed when Mayor Peterson was
in office.
I don't think any of Wiley's supporters
are against improvements to the City of
Fairway. I for one would like to see a better
handle on the spending. Did we need a new
Mission bridge. O.K. maybe so. Did it need
to be a $4 Million bridge? No....I believe it
could have been handled much differently.
St.Clair was in a big rush to get it pushed
through before the residents could think
it through or request a vote on it.
And now we're looking at another $2.7 Million
or more to make it green?
One of the biggest concerns for me is the fact
St.Clair will not commit to keeping Fairway
residential. Where would we put commercial
buildings in this small community? Take more
houses through eminent domain? Why is the
City of Fairway at the Kansas Supreme Court?
Because they think voting on such issues is
an "administrative" function. In otherwords,
it doesn't matter what the residents think.
No need to be mean, Mr. Mack. I've got nothing
against you. I just do not want Fairway to
look like Lenexa, or the fiasco in Mission.
Thanks .
Kathy
For one thing, Miss Dix, we have a representative form of government. You say "The current city government doesn't think enough of the residents to let us vote on our future outcome." We have elections to chose our representatives to make those decisions for us. If we had elections for every business item that came up, Fairway would soon go broke faster than you can say "Let's sue our own friends and neighbors, and ourselves!!"
You also say "It's apparent that the current Mayor has not been
able to restore the culture of civility and mutual respect that existed when Mayor Peterson was
in office." The disrespect and uncivil behavior continually expressed by your group of nutcases does not originate from the mayor. In fact, he has been more than accommodating to your group's childish, disrespectful behavior. Especially considering that most of the time, you folks don't have your facts straight. Believe me, if I was mayor, I would not be nearly as nice to you all as John St. Clair has been. The intelligent members of our community have seen the way you nutcases act, and want nothing to do with it in our government. You would make us even more of an embarrassment than we already are. You should have heard how my son described the outbursts by your group of nutcases that he witnessed when he attended the February meeting. He never knew adults actually acted like that in public. Your group likes to film the meetings, for what ever reason. Well, starting the next meeting, I will be filming not only the meetings, but all who attend and how they act. I'll then post the entire record on Youtube. If you want more open government, it can't get more open than that. Then the world can see how immature your group is.
You go on to say "One of the biggest concerns for me is the fact
St.Clair will not commit to keeping Fairway residential. Where would we put commercial buildings in this small community? Take more houses through eminent domain?" You nutcases are so comical with your paranoid conspiracy theories. There are already commercial districts in the city. The mayor just wants to exploit those to their full potential. But, did you hear the rumor that the Shawnee Indian Mission might be turned into a casino? The best part is this: you have a mole in your group named Penny Gilbert. She is leading the casino plan. You honestly didn't think she just liked the Indian Mission because they are pretty building, did you? Pass that around your conspiracy circles.
It sure is going to be fun harassing your group and causing it as much needless trouble as you have caused in our city. You nutcases are such easy targets, such low-hanging fruits. I believe not in turning the other cheek, but striking back just as hard if not harder. I am going to be as big a pain to your group of nutcases as you have been to the mayor and council.
Good luck!!!
Mr. Mack,
Unbelievable ! How professional is it to
actually put in writing that you want to
hassle supporters of Mr. Wiley?
I think this should give Fairway residents
a good idea of the attitudes of the current
administration.
Did I hear it was Mr. Dane that stated the
Fairway residents were so ignorant that
if all you did was tell them you would give
money to the schools they would vote for
you?
Perhaps you should check out the video on
YouTube " Stealing From the Children"
(click on Fairway, Ks ) to see
that everyone now has proof that St.Clair voted
to keep the school bond money so he could
balance the city budget.
Hmmm all John Mack Said was he was going to film the wingnuts who film the council meetings and disrupt them. SO if that is considered hassling i guess McCalister and his crew have been hassling the city council for years. Where did you hear that about Dane Lee? The lies your side has spread about him seem to meet the standard of Libel Mr Fair may need to be hiring a lawyer after the last flier he put out.
Also last time i Checked John Mack had no part in the current city administration and for your information neither do I. That video you refer to is classic arguing both sides, Lets see the "school tax" you refer to was part of the entire countys tax structure and the only city that EVER GAVE A DIME to the schools was Fairway. So with the rest of the Local governments not using this tax for schools, why should Fairway be the sap and pay in more than others. Then you argue it was bad when the city did give money to a school! you argue both sides in a 59 second clip and most of the clip is from a councilman no longer on the board! PS John Mack uses sarcasm you might want to look it up in a dictionary.
Just reread your comment the vote he voted on was to give $25,000 to highlands not to keep the money which was not bond money by the way it is the sales tax.
I want to be the first here to give thanks to John St. Clair for his years of excellent, open, and sound leadership in our city. We as residents of Fairway will go on to enjoy the numerous benefits of his administration, and he gets to relax and not have to deal with the childish and disrespectful behavior directed his way by the owners of this web site and their supporters.
I wish Jerry Wiley all the luck in the world. He is going to need it to deal with the Fairway nutcases that have plagued this city for years.
