Blind item backstory that previews upcoming Kansas City controversy which a great many insiders are talking . . . Take a peek at this word sent our way and realize that supporting the bus is cool BUT behind the scenes, the KCATA is just another screwed up local institutions confronting a great deal of public frustration and organizational discontent:
Serious Trouble Over This Questionable KCATA Gig
One of the top KCATA honchos (and the Board that voted to look the other way and hire him), is soon to be at the center of a major ethics scandal that has the potential to set the venerable transit organization back decades, or even (read between the lines here) WORSE for them. This honcho got his gig (and a VERY nice $150,000 pay raise - All negotiated above board, I'm sure) when he angled/leveraged his "position" so that his "friends" that he supervised at the KCATA would simply hand him the gig without anyone else even being interviewed, or any job search whatsoever being done. (Imagine that - What are the odds?)
At the time, THE KANSAS CITY TRANSIT HONCHO hiring raised many eyebrows as he has no real qualifications, experience, or educational background for the job (he only as a high school diploma) and his new gig previously required at least a masters degree or higher, and/or some actual management and transit experience (duh) to even be eligible to apply. And lest we forget, this KANSAS CITY TRANSIT HONCHO'S first major act upon getting his new job was to immediately help hire Frank White's son score a sweet low 5 figure gig. All quite innocent, and above board I'm sure they will tell you. Nothing to see here.
Now, however, additional and even more sordid details are emerging about the KCATA's hiring "process" that have come to light and may cast a MUCH (did I say MUCH?) more serious shadow than just the usual sketchy insider quid-pro-quo of local politics that got THIS HONCHO the job in the first place.
Stay tuned and strap in readers, there may be a bumpy ride ahead...

The hiring of Frank White III should be investigated. Other than his pappy's name, the younger Frank brings nothing to the game.
ReplyDeleteHe faggot, why don't you just say that Mr. Makinen is blind rather than just using cute little references to "looking the other way." You are a fucking coward. Were you fired for using KCATA facilities to do automotive repair work for pay?
ReplyDeleteAngie Jefferies at the county must have Tony Duty this morning. Boom! Attack the facts!
ReplyDeleteFrank White's idiot son is not the only useless piece of shit that Robbie hired. He brought in mo "friends" than Tom Pendergast would hire in one sitting. Tom was smarter than Robbie.
ReplyDelete"Frank White's son score a sweet low 5 figure gig"
ReplyDeleteHuh?
$11K
Or do you mean low 6 figure, and you cannot count so well?
Just once, I would like to see one of these crooks go to jail. At the very least, I would like to see one useless sack of shit turn down one of these jobs because the whole thing stinks to high heaven. I doubt I will ever see either thing happen.

ReplyDeleteMakinen is one of the most corrupt and backstabbing people in local government. He skated under the radar mostly because he never mattered. VERY glad to see he is beginning to be exposed for the lying fraud he is.
ReplyDeleteHey Robbie (I will talk to you directly since I know you are checking this post)how's your little scheme going to illegally bump your own benefits package? Two faced lying corrupt assholes like you ultimately get what you deserve. Who will you find to throw under the bus when they come for YOU?
ReplyDeleteWorthless waste of air. Wonder if his wife knows what a poon hound he is. Maybe I need to send an anonymous package to their house.
ReplyDeleteLol. Makinen was hitting on my wife hard at a function we were at. She thought he was disgusting.
ReplyDeleteRobbie's talent is making people think he is a good guy when the reality is he would screw his own mother over if he thought it would him. He has no soul.
ReplyDeleteWhy all the hate?! Hes just another in a long line of corrupt politicians born and bread by our KC region. Cut my boy some slack. Just trying to steal like everyone else.
ReplyDeleteWhen his wife gives Robbie a blow job she can never tell who's pussy juice she licking. Some pretty skaggy ladies.
ReplyDeleteMike Sanders destroys yet another dummy like Robbie who jumped on the "Sanders Train." Last stop.....Indictmentville! Maybe Robbie and Skippy can share a federal prison jail cell.
ReplyDeleteTony there were meetings at the KCATA headquarters on Sunday. Then all hell broke loose this morning. Lots of door slamming and "personnel" meetings. This may all be related to payback for tax fraud that Mackinen helped Sanders commit in order to hide gambling income.
ReplyDeleteWhat would stop a lot of government, and quasi-government malarky, corruption, and mismanagement, would be if citizens would form raiding and or guerilla units/armies, and using counterinsurgency tactics, covertly encounter and engage the perps, open a large can of Medieval, and administer it with extreme prejudice!
