TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! EXPECT JACKSON COUNTY CONFUSION AS DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIR STEVE BOUGH PREPARES TO STEP DOWN!!!
A Jackson County shake-up is on the way . . .
Check it . . .
JACKSON COUNTY INSIDERS WARN US THAT WHEN STEVE BOUGH STEPS DOWN (WHICH IS GONNA BE SOON) THERE WILL BE A FEEDING FRENZY FOR HIS JOB AS JACKSON COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIR!!!
When Bough was up for the job last time around there was quite a bit of slap-fighting.
Now Bough is probably ready to devote all of his spare time to his new gig on the Jackson County Sports Authority.
The move to quit the Party Chair job is wise given that outsiders might notice the Sports Authority is seemingly completely controlled by Democratic Officials who are looking to take even more power.
Additionally . . .
INSIDERS WARN THAT COUNTY EXEC MIKE SANDERS TAKING ON THE CHIEFS AND ROYALS OVER SPENDING IS A LOSING MOVE!!!
It never pays to fight with billionaires and the price of the current political theater regarding spending could be opposition from EXTREMELY well-funded Kansas City sports team owners.
But I digress . . .
For this morning we're really talking about the future of the Democrats in Jackson County.
By now the folks who have been watching this drama closely understand one thing . . .
FORMER KANSAS CITY COUNCIL DUDE TERRY RILEY COULD REEMERGE TO CLAIM THE PARTY CHAIR SPOT GIVEN THAT LAST TIME AROUND HE CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO WINNING THE POSITION!!!
Mr. Riley is one of Kansas City's strongest power players and this job as party chair would compliment his consulting pursuits nicely . . . The struggle will be between Riley and minority representation vs. another ally of Mike Sanders getting ready to take hold of power once again.
There are a couple of more names for the job that we need to check (look for a female candidate that might mix things up) . . . But what's important to realize is that the leadership among Jackson County Democrats could soon be in play and this not only represents an opportunity but also AN IMPENDING FIGHT!!!
DEVELOPING . . .

Hummmm.
Riley? Hell no!
So they are trading in a Republican and hiring a crook?
Riley was shilling for a Scab Water Company last I heard. Why would labor go along with that?
Is the female candidate a former council member?
The Pitch writers should look back in their files and refresh the public's memories about Terry's campaign finance problems. I believe it was Joe Miller who hounded Terry about using campaign money for personal items and travel.
8/11/12 7:24 AM No, you have to be a member of the County Democratic Committee and a certain former council member sadly does not qualify.
Who are the insiders? Are employees down in city hall going . . Hey Tony look at this man! I mean what a scoop man! You can't make this up man!
Tony makes all this sh*t up mostly. The insiders are the voices he hears in his head.
7:35 - who arewas you talking about?
Another power play by Sanders equals more enemies, keep it up Mike you are going to be another has been like the others.
Go back in History to Waris he picked this same fight and lost the next election to Marsha Murphy, you are playing with fire Mike. Wake up.
Grifters. All of them!
Sure Bough is stepping down he can be only one puppet at a time.
democrats are willing to put a crook in charge. riley lined his pockets when he was at city hall but of course since he was black only got his hands slapped
If people have been watching this drama in any meaningful numbers Kansas City wouldn't be in the mess it's in.
Debt financed prosperity isn't all it's cracked up to be that should be obvious.
Mike Sanders is in charge,so leave it at that.
The Levotas will have something to say about chair,now that he is a Senator,he always stood up against Sanders
I think Talboy would be great at this! I think he should do it.
John Burnett or Genaro Ruiz would be perfect.
Need to be a committee person to do it. Genaro and Talboy are not committee members. Burnett would be good. I think John would be LeVota's pick if he can't have his brother Phil.
But I digress , ,,
Can we please ban this stupid generic internet standard line out of it's pathetic existence. Add Epic and Developing to that while we are at it.
Thanks.
Fuckin perfect, Terry Riley.
There ya go.
Clinton Adams would be an excellent choice for Democratic Chair and why do you think Terry Riley is a power player that's so not true.
Terry Riley? Hell no! And the idiot who said Clinton Adams would be a better choice? When Hell freezes over! Clinton Adams is the Freedom Inc version of Al Capone. Sorry, but we don't need the mafia holding Democratic chairs, we need them OUT! And Terry Riley is better off at home, flipping through the channels with his remote, and watching the old council meetings he was a part of. Watch the damage hes done from OUR perspective, THE COMMUNITY view!
Riley, then Adams, who's the next wise suggestion going to be? Funkhouser? Oh wait a minute, he couldn't operate a toilet without his wife's instruction!
Steve Bough is not STEPPING DOWN. He was run out of the County Committee. He didn't even run for his committee spot because there were too many people lined up to run against or contribute to someone to run against him. Make sure this is clear. Bough was given a "You are no longer welcome in the County Committee" message!!
Why because he is a homophobic rich guy who hits on women other than his wife?
Everyone can speculate about this but it boils down to who has the votes on the committee and there are only about three factions with any substantial vote count. And Sanders aint one of them.
THAT ALL FOLKS
Bill Clinton?
Hey Terry Riley! I found the perfect open position for you!
MOW MY FUCKIN' LAWN!
7:33 just don't have Terry water your law after he mows it. He is good at using lots of water; not so good about paying for it.
How does one prepare to step down from underneath the desk?
