Kansas City Weekly Power Rankings



It was a tough week in the Kansas City discourse and most of the issues debated will continue to develop over the coming weeks and months. However, for tonight, here's a look at the strongest players in town:

Councilman Quinton Lucas


This week he helped to define terms when it comes to affordable housing and also worked to offer some semblance of order and hope for restructuring the American Jazz Museum. More and more, Councilman Lucas is looking like the most "mayoral" denizen at City Hall.

Jackson County & Missouri Special Prosecutor "Mean" Jean Peters Baker


She's the new lady in charge of the case against Guv Greitens and that makes her the strongest elected official in all of Missouri right now.

KCPD Chief Smith


In a point-by-point rebuttal to a dead-tree media story, he corrected the MSM narrative and and continues the trend of KCPD taking apart newspaper propaganda.

And so . . .



This list has been compiled according to scientific TKC polling and market research data and it's a weekly comprehensive guide to local powerful people, trends and our times.

  1. Lucas is looking like a better contender. At least rising far above Jolie. I'm still wondering if the two Scotts can just split the difference and run on the same ticket.

  2. Agree that reform is needed for the AJM. Heard a good point about it last night, that made sense.

    They've been trying to find a profit model for 20 years and so far nothing. There's a really slim chance that they're going to come up with something in the near future. That being said, I hope they do.

    It's kind of hard to find "a profit model" for something that has very little appeal to a dwindling audience.
    Buggy whip manufacturers are confronted with the same problem in 21st Century America.
    In this case, that challenge is made much much worse by mismanagement, NO management, grifting, looking out for supporters, family, and friends, and outright theft.
    For decades.
    You really can't make a lead airplane fly.
