Ring in the new year and a new Democratic Majority with DFHA.

It's time to celebrate the Democrat's return to the majority on Capitol Hill!  Let's get together after the New Year and enjoy the moment. 

DFHA is sponsoring a party on Saturday, January 6, 2007 starting at 6:30 at the Westport Flea Market party room.  We'll eat some of the city's best burgers, drink some cold refreshments, and make our progressive activist resolutions for 2007.  Be thinking about what we, as a progressive community, want to try to do locally, as well as nationally, in the coming year.  We must hold the Democratic Congress' feet to the fire, and also work towards '08.  Let's not lose any momentum.

Reclaim Democracy released TIF study
Start: 1:00 pm
End: 2:00 pm

Body:

The Kansas City chapter of ReclaimDemocracy.org (www.ReclaimDemocracy.org/KC) held a press conference on January 17 at UMKC to release Uneven Patchwork: Tax Increment Financing in Kansas City, an academic study authored by UMKC Economist Michael Kelsay, Ph.D. The study examines The Kansas City Council’s pattern of approval of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) plans by Council District. A full-page map of Kansas City is included in the study to illustrate the distribution of TIF plans with demographic information by Council District.

The study includes an executive summary and is clear and coherent for a larger audience than those that are students of economics. Socioeconomic statistics are layered with reasoning as to why the city’s ad hoc TIF policy is putting into question the long-term social and economic health of the city. It shows a pattern of awarding TIF projects to the city’s most economically advantaged areas and bypassing those most in need of economic development.
