PUCK EXCLUSIVE!!! TALK OF CATHY JOLLY FOR JAXCO COUNTY EXECUTIVE!!!

TKC NOTE: Here's a great post from one of the best contributors the local internet has seen . . . There's reporting of what might be a major development regarding my favorite local cheerleaders and a Northland perspective.

Check it:

Hark, dear readers! The Northland was sold out Thursday, and the citizens can thank at-large council members Ed Ford, Beth Gottstein, Cindy Circo, Melba Curls, and Cathy Jolly. These council folk, with the help of Sewer Jan and John Not-So-Sharp, flipped their “friends” in Clay and Platte counties the big bird by caving into Mike Sanders and folding their cards while he bluffed behind a lawsuit. Voters need to remember this come election time, and when these dregs darken your doors come donation time.

Thanks to these lame-brained legislators, Jackson County will now have a heavy hand in the handling of everything TIF. The TIF Commission’s six mayoral appointees will now have helpers from Jackson County to make decisions on TIF projects, administration and even personnel. Non-appointed, non-elected commission members will be voting on city-funded jobs… nice, huh?

Dear readers, please remember that this city is the sum of its parts, and the Northland in general, and Clay and Platte Counties specifically, are big parts. NINETY percent of development activity comes from the Northland! The North Kansas City School District is the largest district in Kansas City, and growing by 3,000 students per year! Yet Clay County and Platte County have been shut out, like the Royals on opening day.

Why, you might ask? Good question readers, and the answer is complex. Puck will try to keep it short and sweet: The at-large council persons from south of the river, and their biggest buddy, Ed Ford, have decided its politically popular to poise their persons with Mike Sanders. Sanders huffs and puffs and threatens to blow their votes away, so Ed and the Gals play nicely with him in his Jackson County sandbox.

Another twist… Puck has heard that sassy little girl, Cathy Jolly, has been promised a plum from Sanders if she’ll use her Minnie Mouse mannerisms to move Mike’s machine. What would that plum be? The position of COUNTY EXECUTIVE! Where would Mr. Mike then be residing? In Robin Carnahan’s Secretary of State office. Yes readers, it’s a state office that makes Mike’s mighty heart quicken, and his head is big enough to think he and his gelled coif can get there. Cathy gets to clutch his coattails in a dainty, perfectly manicured hand and ride her way to the County Executive position.

What about the others? It’s a mystery to Puck as to why Ed continues to screw over the district he reportedly represents. Cindy was heard saying this ordinance was no big deal. Maybe she just didn’t understand it, or maybe trying to shove a big new hotel in Downtown is using up all available brain cells? Melba just goes with the flow and doesn’t think… ever. Puck is still trying to figure Beth out, and welcomes your suggestions as to how to do that.

Let Puck leave you with a piece of advice, coming from a scribe who doesn’t subscribe to any one part of our fair city… smooth moves like this TIF movement will cause more division and divisiveness in our city, and we can’t take much more. When casting your vote and giving your support to candidates, remember which ones worked for Kansas City as a whole, and which ones worked for their own best interests. Save Puck’s posts as reminders.
