Tonight the 8-Day reports for the Question 1 campaign are piquing the curiosity of the local political elite . . .
Accordingly . . .
CHECK THE TKC HAPPY FUN HIGHLIGHTS OF THE JACKSON COUNTY QUESTION 1 CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORTS 8-DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION!!!
Spending from the opposition really isn't that exciting . . .
The lead group is Citizens For Responsible Research and it's comprised of Gazillionare Brad Bradshaw giving the campaign: $111,315 during October. The spending is comprised mostly of TV advertising.
Citizens for Responsible Research has about $640 on hand and they've spend about a quarter of a million bucks during this campaign.
Citizens for Fairness is slightly more interesting . . . The $200k from the "mystery" Government Policies Foundation earned a bit of scrutiny. Brad Bradshaw gave them another $3k and they've got about $99K on hand as the election comes to a close.
Newspaper dude Fitz and his Committee To Stop A Bad Cure finish with under $400 on hand and the only interesting item of note is a $2,500 donation from a Catholic Priest bringing that total to more more than $3,500 bucks .
Meanwhile . . .
THE COMMITTEE FOR RESEARCH TREATMENTS AND CURES IS MUCH MORE FUN TO CHECK!!!
The Committee for Research Treatment and Cures raised $1,670,855 through Oct. 24
They've still got $179,425.58 on hand.
Highlights from the donation column . . .
The $400K from the Civic Council is still a juggernaut donation in this tax effort. Overall they've given $600k to date.
$20K from St. Luke's for a total of $65k . . .
Another $100K from Children's Mercy for a $200k total . . .
$10K from KC Southern . . .
$25K from Mariner Holdings . . .
Burns & Mac make good with $25K bringing their total to $75K overall . . .
And now, news of maybe political win streak too . . .
The Kansas City Chiefs Football Club made good with $10k!!!
But here's a trend worth checking that really stands out to TKC . . .
COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS STAY WINNING WITH BIG EXPENSES FOR ADVERTISING FROM TAX SUPPORTERS!!!
Community Newspaper Advertising expenses for the Question 1 tax:
The KC Call: $4,625
The Globe: $2,489
Independence Examiner: $2,356
Dos Mundos: $2,402
KC Hispanic: $2,040
Lee's Summit Journal: $1,800
Clearly, this tax seems to be losing favor in neighborhoods and the cash kicked to community news seems to be a way to correct that trend.
We'll have more on the effort but this exchange of cash seemed exceptionally noteworthy.
Developing . . .
newspapers need money badly. Maybe this is their lifesaving cure?
ReplyDeletethe KC Call gave over 4G's? That liberal nigger paper should use that money and donate it to the federal foodstamp program to help their peoples out
