“Endeavor to Persevere”

Sixth district council reps Keven McManus and Andrea Bough (though we’re not sure who they’re representing, obviously not the community that elected them) have sent out a notice saying they will be having their Second Friday meeting this Friday, though it will be a virtual meeting on Zoom. That gives one pause.

Ms. Bough is a member of the Neighborhood Planning and Development Committee. That’s the committee that didn’t make audio available to a representative of the Southern Communities Coalition, leaving her testimony to be read in monotone by the Clerk. Might the same thing happen Friday if someone has a question and she or her colleague don’t want to hear from that person? Will they simply say, “Sorry”?

Anyway, the speakers are listed as two of the City’s planners who will give an update on the “KC Spirit Playbook”. (Don’t get me started on that name.) While the City’s website lists them as Long Range Planning and Preservation, the meeting notice says they’re with Long Range Planning and Perseverance. That could be some kind of Freudian slip, but the esteemed council members would probably try to blame it on auto correct. That could be true, but what happened to proof reading? Is that no longer part of being professional?
