TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT FOR JACKSON COUNTY LEGISLATOR BISHOP JAMES TINDALL ON HIS LAST DAY IN OFFICE!!!
Today @ The Jackson County Courthouse there was an IMPORTANT an UNPRECEDENTED ceremony for Bishop James Tindall, Sr. on his last day in the Jackson County Legislature.
On Friday, TKC TIPSTERS reminded us of the controversial circumstances surrounding the departure of this Legislator but right now the most important aspect of the story is today's tribute.
To wit . . .
ALL OF THE JACKSON COUNTY LEGISLATURE AND NEARLY EVERY TOP RANKING AFRICAN-AMERICAN LEADER IN KANSAS CITY GATHERED TODAY TO CELEBRATE THE LAST DAY OF BISHOP TINDALL IN OFFICE!!!
We hear that every member of the Legislature stood to say something nice about Bishop Tindall and Legislator Denny Waits even got a bit choked up when we handed this plaque to the outgoing political powerhouse in commemoration of his years of service.
The signs in this post were carried and posted during the gathering by supporters, friends and family.
County Exec Mike Sanders offered thoughtful remarks on Bishop Tindall's work with the Legislature to shape current County law and provide more inclusive community outreach.
While there is no replacing this longstanding representative of the community . . . Today we hear can confirm that
Former Kansas City Councilman Ken Bacchus
Rev. Keith Brown
And Keith Thompson
Are up to fill the seat for the remainder of the term . . . Mr. Bacchus is the odds on favorite.
Developing . . .
He lasted longer than most and managed to go out on his own terms. That's more than most can ask for in politics.
ReplyDeleteOwn terms??? You have got to be kidding. He was forced out against his will. The law is the law.
DeleteSame crime kicked his ass out of the County twice. Spare me the roses and violins. Maybe ComBat has a chance to be run honestly.
ReplyDeleteHe is a man of convictions. One of them was a felony.
ReplyDeleteWhoever can bankrupt CK the quickest will get the job.
ReplyDeleteHow they going to pay his pension and benefits?
ReplyDeleteThey are really celebrating that they finally got rid of him.
ReplyDeleteOur community is more corrupt because you were there. The three or four people who wrote this are delusional and probably over 60.
ReplyDeleteSo why is this post sitting here.
ReplyDeleteLet's move along now.
So the Millennials, Kidults, and Hipsters can mourn the loss 8:06.
ReplyDeleteI'm out a here before I get bored to death
ReplyDeleteYou don't know politics @8:14 but I have a feeling that he probably made the right decision. It requires some skill and the ability to remember a name.
ReplyDeleteBetter to talk with bar friends.
As for Bishop Tindall, his career is one of the longest in KC and that is something that can't be denied.
His long career and those of the moribund county legislature reflects poorly on the voters of our county.
ReplyDeleteDear Bishop
ReplyDeleteAs a tax payer it has been wonderful having a fellow felon on the county commission. Can the rest of us felons please carry guns, vote, stop reporting to our parole officers, run for State Senate and also spend millions in tax payer monies? Thanks so much.

This will delay the sinking of the ship. Little weight off.
ReplyDeleteAnother Black grifter leaves office under a cloud of suspicion,
ReplyDeleteRinse lather repeat
What community?
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with blacks and purple?
ReplyDeleteDoes it make them think they are royalty or some shit?
There's scrambling among the COMBAT grant recipients tonight. Better cover some tracks and lay some plans for the new round of money, or maybe not.
ReplyDeleteProbably don't have to actually be in office to pull some strings.
COMBAT is $15-20 million down the toilet year after year with no change in the drug-driven crime rates at all.
It's never what, how, or how well. It's always who.

ReplyDeleteCan I have an "Amen"?!!!!
I thank the guy who sued his ass to remove him from office. That's who deserves all the credit here, folks. That man is a hero.
ReplyDeleteHope the plaintiff wins the seat.
ReplyDeleteTony, next time Terry Riley slithers your way be sure to ask him which big ass Mexican he got punked by at Truman Days in front of everybody...
ReplyDeleteEverybody who attends Truman days gets punked.
ReplyDelete"Bishop" my ass! Just another nigger thief!
ReplyDeleteOne Negro "GRIFTER" down, millions to go !
ReplyDeleteCab Baccuss cause as much havoc at county as in housing?
ReplyDeleteUpdate!!! Tindall is said to have a paying gig at the county. Thanks for nothing you brainless piece of shit,Mike Sanders. So this is what you were up to!
