THE TKC WEEKLY POWER RANKINGS!!!



Not everybody can be as hot as Imogen Thomas and her hottie conditioning routine but here are the Kansas City people who came close . . .

POLITICOS

1. MO House Rep. John Rizzo - He has turned enemies into friends by working for public safety and turning his first term into a listening session for all the diverse groups in The Northeast. He has NO COMPETITION for his next term and he's proving to be one of the most effective legislators in Kansas City. People have thrown a lot of garbage his way and he's answered his critics with solid work as a member of The Missouri House.

2. School Board Member Crispin Rea - In the midst of a great deal of tumult. This young politico has remained remarkably consistent.

3.MO House Rep. Jason Kander - Slowly and surely he's putting together one of the most effective runs for Secretary Of State.

4. Former Kansas City Councilman Terry Riley - He has a surprising opponent for a Committeeman job but he's still one of the strongest power players on The Eastside and could be increasing his profile thanks to trouble with Freedom Inc.

5. MO House Rep. Jason Holsman - He has a great deal of support and he has assembled an AMAZING team to support his run for State Senate.


NEWSIES

DeAnn Smith - A relentless mainstream media journalist and blogger.

Bottom Line Communications - The Gold Standard of our Kansas City Media Game.

Eric Wesson - He's everywhere in KC reporting and advocating for the Urban Core.

Sloane Heller - So long, Sloane!!!

KANSAS CITY BUDGET CUT WINNERS

City Manager Troy Schulte - The Architect of Kansas City Austerity.

Mayor Sly James - Blame shifting on the City Council for so many of this town's problems is one of his best moves.

Developers - "Infrastructure" can mean so many things.

The top 3 KC local law firms - Win or lose . . . They stay in power.

The Downtown Toy Train - So important that we're cutting public safety to pay for this hot mess that only runs a few miles.

As always, this list has been compiled according to scientific TKC polling and market research data and it's a weekly comprehensive guide to local powerful people.

    Crispin Rea: Slowly and surely he's putting together one of the most effective runs for Republican spawn oblivion, who's only claim to fame is being the son of a Teamster from the age when they supported Republican so that they could remain corrupt.

  11. Tony, please get your streetcar facts correct before you post.

    Eric Wesson is an embarrassment and incompetent. You must have a bromance with him.

    Terry Riley a power player? Ha! He can't even pay his water bills!

  12. Dude, you keep banging away, hoping that DeAnn's defenses will fall to your masculine charms, but I can tell you this: Her dick is bigger than yours.

  13. John Rizzo? Talk about a real curveball. Anyone see that one coming? I was sure it was going to be Deb. Haha John Rizzo. You are so tricky Tony. Nobody saw that one.

  15. Rea wrote a big letter to Channel 41 management after The $32 million HMM insider contract was exposed, stating that he was going to provide the public with "the real facts".

    Tony has his facts you idiot plus history alone will tell you his facts are right.

    Listen moron you think the GD toy train is such a sweet deal then you bankroll the fucking thing and you run it WITHOUT out any taxpayer dollars.

    Now shit for brains how can you explain why you won't do that.

    Simple because you know you would lose your ass year in and year out trying to operate it.

  17. Terry Riley is a con artist. If Terry is what Freedom Inc thinks they need to get out of trouble, then we are going to have to build more prisons.

  18. Velda = a Greek word for "one who should be charged with a felony."

  19. Sly James, Troy Shulte, toy train, billions in spending, cutting public safety...AKA...Circo's Revenge.

    KC is doomed.

    ReplyDelete
  20. You know why the fire department was cut? GREED. Yes, if they didn't bully three years worth of back raises, you would not have to cut 7.5 million. So blame yourselves.

  21. Super Dave = Super Dick

  22. Meanwhile as the city council is in the process of slashing the public safety budget, gun shots rang out on the Plaza this evening. Good move right before the All-Star game, Sly.

  23. It is Sunday and I am going to predict next weeks TKC list leader. This was a tough one, I narrowed down 7 sure picks, but after careful deliberation I am ignoring all of those picks and am saying that TKC picks John Rizzo LOL
