TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! BEFORE IT MAKES DEAD TREE MEDIA KICK-ASS KANSAS CITY INSIDERS CONSIDER BRAD BRADSHAW VS. THE JACKSON COUNTY HEALTH RESEARCH TAX!!!



Here's a bit of Kansas City inside info that will make Helling afraid for his future job prospects. And rightfully so.

To wit . . .

THE MOST KICK-ASS KANSAS CITY INSIDERS REVEAL THAT SPRINGFIELD POWER PLAYER BRAD BRADSHAW WILL BE THE SUBJECT OF AN UPCOMING NEWSPAPER PROFILE GIVEN HIS ACTIVISM AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT AGAINST THE JACKSON COUNTY HEALTH RESEARCH TAX!!!

In fact, we expect the profile as soon as the Sunday edition that's mostly useful for the coupons.

But before Dead Tree Media claim "exclusive" or even analysis let's take a look at some facts already out there . . .



Mr. Bradshaw is already on record as to why he opposes the Jackson County Tax . . .

"A TV campaign opposing the county-wide sales tax is being paid for by Brad Bradshaw. The Springfield, Missouri attorney is a former surgeon who says he supports a sales tax for medical research but on a much bigger scale.

"Instead of doing this on the county level that won’t raise enough money to really find cures for curable diseases, we need to do it on the state level so that we can raise enough money to really find cures,” says Bradshaw.

"Bradshaw says what Missouri really needs is a statewide sales tax that would bring in nearly $400-million dollars a year, not $40-million just in Jackson County."
#######

More about the recent volley of pay cable ads against the tax along with more motivational insight . . .

"Brad Bradshaw, a lawyer and physician from Springfield, who is funding a group that is sponsoring the ads, said he opposes the tax because it wouldn't collect enough money to make much of an impact on curing diseases such as cancer. Bradshaw has been working on a proposal for a statewide medical research tax he had hoped to put on the ballot in 2016."

"They're not going to have a cakewalk," he said. "It's a bad tax."
#######

Again, Brad Bradshaw was a surgeon and now he's a personal injury lawyer, check his website.

Clearly Mr. Bradshaw is developing a more formidable opposition than some KC blogger who used to work at the newspaper.

Finally . . . A Kansas City Insider says . . .

"From what I've seen, the newspaper is just gonna scratch the surface and they OBVIOUSLY have their own slant. There's more to the story and I think the part about the real motivation for this opposition to the JAXCO tax in favor of a better research model might be left out."

Another quote from KC Insider:

"Dr. Bradshaw has spent most of his adult life in Kansas City and maintains offices both north and south of the river. He's the only person in this discussion who genuinely cares about finding cures and not profits off of taxpayers."

Natch.

  14. Jimmy Fitz has the time, IQ and metaphysically HONEST heart to cover this tax initiative pretty well.

    He is retired and used to work at the fuckin Red Star, I admit. However, he is beyond reproach, unsullied and in my opinion, when he gets up in the morning and looks in the mirror, he never, never is ashamed of his opinion and his work.

    I hate his fuckin bullshit politics, but the man is again, above reproach.

    The tax is another onerous burden for working class folks to pay.

    It damages the electorate and the city.

    Read jimmysays.com.

    Fitz does a great job of explaining the variables in my opinion.

  15. The tax is a bad idea for a variety of ideas. It will not create enough funds to generate the kinds of dollars medical research requires. KC already has key medical centers on both sides of the state line. We should be creating partnerships using existing resources rather than adding another tax on the backs of Jackson County taxpayers, especially when the head guy at Children's Mercy is paid several million.

  16. No MORE TAXES.

    Time to tell these folks ENOUGH!

  17. Nobody is against the research part of this initiative. I favor research and development. I don't favor the tax. It's just bureaucratic bullshit. No thank you! We'll keep our unusually and already high taxes just like they are. Until we see better City services, Jackson County and City Hall can stuff it.

  18. Yet no one fought the KCMO property tax levy which passed heavily and helped line the million dollar CEO of Truman medical center
