MCRE

Yesterday, for the first time, I told a client not to invest in Topeka—disclosure as a real estate professional. In my business, you never want to hear, "Why didn't you tell me all that?".

Most recently, my dear friend Dana K Anderson commented that he wished he never bought the land at 37th and Gage. 

Howard Paul commented, "Life is too short to deal with Topeka". He is selling all his real estate and investing in Florida.

Cody Foster says he is done with downtown. 

so.........

In a town that lets the contrator of the economic development funds spend 67% of the fund on overhead.

That hires a consultant to do all the work that requires thinking.
 

 

That breaks all the rules for one guy who may or may not owe $8M in back taxes. where you fix his dam for a lake taxpayer, subside because the GO bonds were placed on land that already had unpaid taxes. 

Where the minority set aside money can't be accessed by minorities, except the ones that keep winning the contests 3 and 4 times and are basically subsided.

Whereas a pizza hut can't get funds for a sewer and takes two years to get through the system 








What you don't understand is that the deal was handed to you --- you did not have to pay $3.5M to Go Topeka. Go Topeka blocked the deal. 

-------


The reason for sending the "will Topeka want a Whataburger more than a Braxton" was to see if he would retaliate. 

He was rolling his eyes in the recent infrastructure meeting Sylvia would not let me clarify his misstatements.

------

You own a hotel and $544K for that consultant. 

$100M lawsuit for Wade, and in his podcast, he says someone knew he was mentally ill.

The bus at the Ramada and the villages has no room for local children. 

It is time to replace the true manager ...... [see attached]

Give the guy Secert Service protection ....... even playing field

 

A congressional advisory committee just voted in favor of granting Nikki Haley Secret Service protection. While I’m happy she’ll be protected and publicly supported her request, double standards abound. My campaign first requested Secret Service protection in May 2023 with a 63 page declaration. We still have a current request pending. My request is the first time in 55 years a candidate has ever been denied. The Biden administration is the sole outlier to turn down a request for Secret Service coverage. Polling is one of the criteria used to determine whether to approve Secret Service or not. Nikki Haley’s polling is a fraction of mine. According to a NYT/Siena poll, I average 24% in the battleground states. A recent NBC poll shows 34% of Americans could see themselves voting for me. Polling indicates right now that ~50M Americans would vote for me. The will of the people is being thwarted by blatant corruption from Secretary Mayorkas and the Biden Administration. The Bush administration afforded Barack Obama Secret Service protection 551 days before the election. President Obama provided protection to President Trump early; President Trump provided protection to President Biden early–even though they were political adversaries. Refusing me Secret Service protection is a way to drain my campaign funds and stop the movement we’re building together. They want us out of the race by any means necessary. This is blatant election interference. Let me be clear: I have immense respect for the Secret Service. This corruption is coming from much higher up. As many saw on Judicial Watch this week, documents were published that show Secretary Mayorkas and his cronies deliberately refusing my campaign Secret Service–after credible threats and packets of evidence were submitted. Unfortunately, most of the documents were redacted. What do Mayorkas and his buddies have to hide? Unfortunately for the establishment and those who skulk around in back rooms, I’m not going anywhere. Our movement is growing stronger and our coalition is building. I am more steadfast than ever about winning in November. If you give me a sword and some ground to stand on, I will give you your country back. In the interest of transparency, I’m sharing one of our previous requests from October 2023: assets.nationbuilder.com/joinkennedy/pa #Kennedy24

The purported utilization of city funds to finance specials through GO Bonds Funds, coupled with the imposition of taxes on properties with a historical non-payment of real estate taxes, raises significant legal and ethical concerns. Such actions undermine the principles of fairness and equity in taxation and may contravene existing statutes governing municipal finance and property taxation.

In the absence of a clear legal framework supporting the allocation of city funds to specials via GO Bonds Funds, the legitimacy of such disbursements is subject to scrutiny. Municipal authorities are entrusted with the judicious management of public resources, and any deviation from established procedures must be rigorously justified and transparently executed. The apparent allocation of funds without due regard for established protocols undermines public trust and may constitute an abuse of authority.

Furthermore, the imposition of taxes on properties with a history of non-payment of real estate taxes without due consideration for extenuating circumstances or equitable relief mechanisms is ethically questionable. Taxation policies should strive to balance the imperative of revenue generation with considerations of socioeconomic equity and taxpayer hardship. The imposition of additional tax burdens on properties with a historical non-compliance with tax obligations may exacerbate financial distress and perpetuate cycles of economic disadvantage.

The alleged selective enforcement of tax compliance obligations, wherein certain properties are allowed to remain delinquent while others are subject to stringent collection measures, raises suspicions of preferential treatment and potential breaches of fiduciary duty. Property owners have a legal obligation to fulfill their tax obligations in a timely manner, and any deviation from this mandate should be subject to impartial review and accountability mechanisms.

Moreover, the apparent inconsistency in the tax status of properties owned by the same individual raises concerns regarding the veracity of representations made to regulatory authorities. The failure to disclose accurate and comprehensive information regarding tax liabilities may constitute a breach of legal obligations and undermine the integrity of regulatory processes.

In light of the complexities and potential legal ramifications associated with these issues, it is imperative that competent authorities exercise due diligence in investigating the matter. The reluctance of municipal and county authorities to address these concerns underscores the need for external oversight and intervention by higher authorities vested with the requisite jurisdiction and regulatory authority.

In conclusion, the purported allocation of city funds to finance specials through GO Bonds Funds, coupled with the imposition of taxes on properties with a history of non-payment, raises significant legal and ethical concerns. These actions may contravene existing statutes governing municipal finance and property taxation and undermine principles of fairness, equity, and transparency. It is incumbent upon competent authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and uphold the rule of law to ensure accountability and safeguard public trust in the integrity of governance.
