Fox4: Taxpayers will foot the bill for Jackson Co. Legislature’s legal battle with County Executive Frank White
Money line . . .
Jackson County Legislative Chair Scott Burnett said the legislature has done all it can to get (Executive Frank) White to follow what he says is the law, so now a judge will decide.
And Jackson County taxpayers are footing the cost for that fight to the tune of $250,000.
When asked if he thinks taxpayers will appreciate $250, 000 of their tax money being spent on this, Burnett said, "well, of course not, but we can't get the administration to follow the law. We don't know what else to do."
"I don't think the taxpayers really understand the difference between the Executive or the Legislature, so I think we are all going to be diminished by all of this that is going on," Burnett added.
Developing . . .
$250k is a piddling amount compared to what our politicians can steal or divert to their corporate friends. Fuck, just ask Sly. Our local developers wouldn’t even get out of bed for a mere $250k.
ReplyDelete^^^ Absolutely correct.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm pretty sure this amount is just this tip of the iceberg.
Repeal combat. Recall all of them.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Frank. You've essentially killed COMBAT. Next time it is up for a vote we can remind everybody how you wanted to use this fund to pay salaries for your chief of staff and shitty PR staff.
ReplyDeleteOne of so many reasons I'm thrilled not to be living in that white trash county.
ReplyDeleteYep!!!
Delete^^^^It’s mostly coloreds now, they’ve exploded like locust, once the destroy everything they’ll move to your neighborhood and destroy it too
ReplyDeleteFrank can beat mean jean in court all day and everyday because she is worthless
ReplyDeleteFrank White should have kept his mouth shut and just kept on collecting his pay checks from the county. Before this is all over not only is "Mean Jean" going to be picking him apart for perjury, misappropriation of funds, campaign fraud and bribery. So is the state AG and probably the FBI.
ReplyDeleteFrank is worse than worthless. His incompetence and corruption are actually proving to be pretty costly.
ReplyDelete5:55 White trash county?? Don't be fooled by his name Frank White is black, city hall is black, Sly James is black, blacks are filling in places like Lee's Summit Blue Springs, Grandview, and the rest of Jackson county, so what white trash county are you talking about?
It's not their money so why should they care what it costs?
