I was just surfing the web and decided to read the KC star.  I was disturbed to read that the downtown Power and Light district still won't be fully open and functional by the Big 12 this spring!

  I never bought the idea that it was delayed from the initial grand opening in October by request from the tenants.  I'm down there every day and it's obvious that they couldn't have a grand opening even if they wanted to.

  I hope the city officials are fuming behind closed doors because they haven't spoken badly about the delays publicly.  Wayne Cauthen has been reportedly saying that a partial opening by spring still marks a success.  Well I believe it's my and your tax dollars at work and he doesn't speak for me.

  What are the reasons for delay?  Are there penalties against Cordish Company for this delayed work?  What is the city doing about this?

  I'm tired of the secrecy displayed by the Cordish Company on many levels and the lack of explanation as to what is going on and why, who the tenants are, where they are at in finding a professional team to call the Sprint Arena home, etc.

  It seems as though everyone is scared to ask the tough questions.  Afraid that the Cordish Company will just pack up and leave if they are offended! 

  Fox 4 can you look into this and bring this issue to light?  I think tough questions need to be asked and the people have the right to know.
