TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! ATA BUZZ: POLITICO JOE REARDON STAYS WINNING IN KANSAS CITY PROPER!!!
TKC NOTE: Here's a remarkable bit of insight from our TKC BLOG COMMUNITY regarding behind the scenes Kansas City Transit chatter. P.S. - The caveat here is that there are a lot of people competing for this gig and floating this name on our ship of bloggy goodness might just be part of the process.
Kansas City Insider Seyz: "Reardon set to be announced as the new KCATA CEO"
As you know, the KCATA (or KC Area Transportation Authority) has been searching for a new CEO after Mark Huffer was unceremoniously shown the door. I am told by two people connected to the process (one directly, one indirectly) that the KCATA is set to surprisingly announce Joe Reardon, the former mayor of Wyandotte County, as its new CEO sometime next week at the latest.
It will be an historically sweetheart and budget busting deal with compensation plus bonuses (yes, they are going to give him bonuses as odd as that sounds) and a package valued in the low $300,000 + total per year range (Note that Huffer’s salary was under $160,000, and also note that the KCATA is facing severe and systemic budget shortfalls in the face of this very generous CEO compensation deal). I'm told that Reardon, among others, was aggressively pursued, but that he is the only candidate that really aggressively went after it in the end.
Not sure how this will play with Reardon’s current law firm gig that he just took a little over a year ago at McAnany, but Reardon is set to formally accept the gig tomorrow morning at meeting noticed up for 9:00 at the Lathrop and Gage law firm in downtown KC (http://www.kcata.org/about_kcata/entries/board_of_commissioners/.). It will also be interesting to see how the new "Kansas-centric" vision and direction of the ATA will play in the longer term given that the vast majority of the funding and services are provided by the KCMO.
It is historically significant to note that, by all accounts, KCMO and MO board members were quite effectively out-hustled and out-maneuvered by their Kansas counterparts who, in the end, got their man. Another interesting tidbit is that David Warm, the Director of MARC (the Mid American Regional Council), personally injected himself into this process as an advocate for the Kansas side. This is out of character with MARC's charter, as Marc and Warm are supposed to serve as referees in all things local, not as a political advocates. Once again, not sure what the fall-out will be, but some delicious palace intrigue in the new year that was read about here first on TKC nonetheless. I guess we can say that Kansas won this round of the border war.

Hey, this wouldn't be a bad choice at all and maybe it's time that KC started giving more credit to leaders from Kansas.
ReplyDeleteMoney is way to much. Get paid that much you own all problems. 300,000.00 Really?
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. What bus service exists in Wyandotte County and are their taxpayers footing the bill for the ATA? Is Joe moving to Missouri?
ReplyDeleteWhat about RUSS? What happened to Mr. Toy Train?
ReplyDeletePerfect for the job. A truly emasculated "yes man" who understands his role and is good at taking orders.
ReplyDelete8:13 is correct! He will say yes as he bubbles goop out of the corners of his mouth! Shame!
ReplyDeleteAh!!! More objective proof of the superiority of the white race! Born to lead! Chosen to lead!
ReplyDeleteMicrobiological science has established quite clearly that humans group genetically into clusters which have resulted from evolution. Surely any rational person--by which I obviously do not mean liberals--must recognize the problem with assigning a pejorative term like "racist" to anyone who is up-to-date with scientific findings of the last twenty years regarding human genetics. This is intended to be a punishment for knowing the facts.
And what about the other part? On what basis do leftists assert that the races are all equal when they have evolved to be different? Is there an Equality Fairy or something like that?
Imagine for a moment that a group of researchers was evaluating half a dozen candidate substances as a new medication to treat a disease, and a bunch of bozos ran into the room with picket signs declaring that the researchers were forbidden to conclude that there was any difference in efficacy between the drugs. Insane, yes?
Nature, of course, does not bow to liberals' childish threats and has already tested the races for superiority and declared a clear winner--a winner that still has not fallen despite suffering the deleterious effects of all the other races working as a team to destroy it. I suppose this is part of the reason Jews and their servants hate Whites so very much. Everywhere they turn in the world, they are faced with endless examples of our racial superiority: We win the most Olympic Gold medals. We invent and discover virtually everything. Our art is the most popularly enduring of all. Our people look the best objectively. We are even the most compassionate race. There simply aren't many ways in which other races can claim superiority over us--certainly none of any great significance.
So our racial superiority is an objective fact, but we are forbidden to acknowledge it. And if we do, we are told that it undeniably reveals secret plans to enslave and destroy the other races--even though our race is the one being targeted for enslavement and destruction--even though our race is the one that has given almost everything to encourage and humor the other races as they have invaded and defiled our civilizations again and again, climbing over each other to flood into nations that they claim are unendurably evil and oppressive.
In the end, they have no logical argument, no meaningful claims, no recourse, but to call us names--names like "racist." And if there really is such a thing as "racism," it can be self-consistent in meaning only if it refers to someone who does not admit racial reality as described above, as shown by history and by science.
In other words, the only people who might genuinely be described as racist are anti-Whites like the psychotic, genocidal liberals. That's probably why they get so angry when someone dares to use their sacred pejorative against them.
Liberals know they are racist, so they constantly accuse everyone else of it.
8:33 I'm not sure if you are a racist pig or not. But I'm positive you are a total and complete ass hole.
DeleteGreat! Another white man ascendent!
ReplyDeleteWhen white supremacy tried to make a mark in American history it was viciously attacked quickly put down by the people of our nation . But Gay Supremacy is becoming a monster that carries greater evils than white supremacy ever did. White Supremacy was focused on how a group of people felt about another group of people. They created various barriers for those they hated and their views about their superiority to others provided the frame work for the citizens of this nation to search their hearts and understand that God has created every person in His image. However Gay Supremacy's hate reaches much farther than a specific group of people. Their is no common ground that can be reached. Their is no searching of the heart or consideration of God's principles. Their hate is generated only by self centeredness and hate for anyone who disagrees with them.
Any person who disagrees with their evil beliefs will be viciously attacked and destroyed. I could disagree with the beliefs of white supremacist and still hold to Biblical views about life, marriage and sexuality. Many people in America fought against their own kind in order to rid us of this hateful group but Gay supremacist have bullied every sector of our nation and now sit as the giant bully against all Americans who disagree with their radical agenda. Christians are not bigots because we don't embrace immoral lifestyles. Currently gay supremacist point their anguish at Christians but anyone who stand opposed to the Gay supremacist is game for utter annihilation.
Our state government must now take the lead in protecting the religious freedoms and right of expression of the citizens of their state from this new enemy the Gay Supremacist.
Even if it's the transit authority.
GREATEST DAYS IN WHITE SUPREMACY
ReplyDeleteJan. 12 - White man to lead KCATA.
Apr. 20 - Hitler born.
got it.
Now we know why the KCATA just slashed the bus service on route 51...to make sure they had the funding to pay this sky-high compensation.
ReplyDeleteKansas has this figured out perfectly....KCMO pays for everything: zoo, stadiums, museums, and the arts and Kansas gets to use it all for free. Hope KCMO enjoys having more of it tax money going into Kansas pockets, because that is exactly what this is all about.
Who else put in for the job?
ReplyDeleteWow. Looks like KC just got schooled by the Kansas politicos. But, what in the hell is Worm doing? This may come back to bite him. Big mistake for him to start playing politics.
ReplyDeleteLittle Joe is a political hack, sad to see the ATA going south.
ReplyDeleteCan Joe save the downtown hipster and soccer douche frou frou toy train from becoming the biggest tax dollar drain in KC history?
ReplyDeleteSuppose we should brace for Matt Staubio and David Johnson tweeting . .
ReplyDeleteHe's one of us!!! He's into the toy train!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! MY INSIDERS WERE TOTALLY WRONG ONCE AGAIN!!!
ReplyDeleteMcCaskill won't run for governor in 2016
U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., announced Monday she won't be a candidate.
"That's a firm `no,' " McCaskill said on KCUR Radio in Kansas City. She called Koster, currently the state's attorney general, "a terrific candidate."

Actually, TKC READERS say that this interview really just confirms talk that she's running for Gov.
hahahahahaha.
p.s. ha!
p.p.s. Natch.
7:07 you're crazy. Leaders from KCK is a joke. Thank goodness KCMO is taking puppet boy off our hands. Now will you consider the current moron that took puppet boys place, we would appreciate it very much.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy keeping Joe in style. He's used to a live style of luxury paid for by chumps. Good luck suckers.
$300 grand for Joe is chicken feed. Everyone of the KCK 'leaders' are pulled around by their dicks by the metros leading financial lords and their law firms. He and Sly have it made. Why do you think he's smiling that big UG smile? Getting paid to give away others peoples money is fun.
ReplyDeleteDavid Warm IS a Worm. I was present when he and his wife rigged a vote to get their daughter a financial scholarship while his wife SAT ON THE BOARD as a voting member. I had to sit there and watch more deserving and needy candidates get passed over to satiate their greed. He simply turns my stomach. I thought about calling the FBI at the time, maybe I will. He is scum in sheep's clothing.
ReplyDeleteDon't waste your time with the FBI. They know all about the KCK hacks and refuse to do anything about it. The legacy of corruption is old news and not worth their time.
ReplyDeleteI think I just threw up. Transit is now officially dead.
ReplyDeleteThe ATA is joke and always will be. Why would this guy want any part of that train wreck? His name will be mud within 24 months of taking the job over. Too many major issues without any good solutions.
ReplyDeleteHuh...Tony's "reporting" off base once again. Might want to check the validity of your sources in the future knuckle head. This just shows what two-bit hack you really are.
ReplyDeleteJoe + ATA = Train wreck for transit. The guy is a fucking joke, but glad the Missouri side wants him. We know him for the dufus he really is.
ReplyDeleteI guess the ATA is desperate.
ReplyDeleteNo worries KCMO. He has a group of Mission Hills pals that pull the strings. It will not be any different than when he was mayor. His role is to smile pretty, have lunch with Sly, and tell everyone in KCMO to dream big.
ReplyDeletePlease notice all former KCK mayors end up with some cushy, high paying job after they leave office. You won't find any KCK mayor that will end up like Wheeler. The job comes with perks after a job well done of screwing citizens and making their pals rich beyond their wildest dreams.
ReplyDeleteIs this Joe thing for real? Seriously, what has this jack off done for anyone else but himself. Unreal the level of greed and corruption.
ReplyDeleteOMG, MARC, the biggest do nothing group of parasites the world has ever known is for this?! Well then, lets all just get on board then! Vomit. The Worm is turning I hope.
ReplyDelete1:09 Believe anyone who lives KCK, it's the hellhole of Kansas. The center of corruption and greed. He's done well for himself and his finance and banker boys. We've paid for his millionaire pals to become billionaires. KCK is the poorest, sickest city in the country for a reason. Now you KCMO folks will get a taste.
ReplyDeleteCorruption r us.
ReplyDeletethe Worm has showed his ugly head.
ReplyDeleteMr and Mrs Worm both have ugly heads and hearts,
ReplyDeleteWorms for Joe! Sounds like a campaign slogan to me! What a bunch of insider dealing crooks.
