I should have had this story first but I've been busy posting election stuff. Still, I think Nadia did a great job clucking away on the news item.
The basics:
IT TAKES ABOUT A HALF DOZEN ATTEMPTS FOR RESIDENTS OF THE 6TH DISTRICT TO GET A MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL LADY CATHY JOLLY!!!
Tracy Ward and her buddy Cathrine of the Liberty Restoration Project have been attempting to get a meeting with Council Lady Cathy Jolly since April and so far they've had no luck. There are returned e-mails, appointments canceled and a LOT of SCREENING in order to talk to these politically motivated ladies. Heck, I was even going emerge from my basement dwelling to check out the sitch.
Sadly, the Council Lady hasn't been able to sit down at a meeting that would have taken no more than 20 minutes with folks who sacrifice a lot of time on the local political scene.
Today's example: CHECK OUT THE LRP TAKING TO THE STREET IN ORDER TO TALK RED LIGHT CAMERAS AND FLUORIDE IN THE DRINKING WATER!!!
Good stuff . . . But TKC knows that only well-funded special interests get real face time . . . And that's what makes Ward's potential Council Run VERY interesting.
Hey Tony! Lipstick, hairspray, fingernail paint, high heels? Don't forget Cathy Jolly already has a full plate! Damn it!!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what's that interesting about it. Despite her many flaws as a State Rep and now Councilwoman, Jolly is too popular and powerful to be defeated by someone without major (read: at least $75,000 raised) support. It's good to have concerned citizens; very few ever end up elected to anything.
ReplyDeleteI hate the cameras on 71.
LRP are some whack jobs. I assume they all wear their tin foil hats also. Still, better than Funk though.
ReplyDeleteThey really oppose fluoride in the water? How stupid.
ReplyDeleteI would let these two women protect my precious bodily fluids.
ReplyDeleteMost of the council is like that but Jolly is particularly bad.
ReplyDeleteShe can't be bothered with the little people.
one of these gals is supposed to be cute, but I can never remember which one
ReplyDelete10:15-probably not the one with the foil hat.
ReplyDeletelolzoz
ReplyDeleteIf Jolly is unresponsive to your needs as a citizen, don't vote her back in.
ReplyDeleteI am shocked...shocked....gambling is taking place here?
ReplyDeleterun for her office.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you guys should try doing a little research on your own instead of just taking your dentists or the CDC's word on the benefits of water fluoridation. Many respect the opinion of Dr. Mercola, let see what he has to say about the matter.

Run, Tracy, Run!
ReplyDeleteDo they play softball?
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should hire Crystal Williams to lobby their issue(s)
ReplyDeleteI do believe that I will throw my hat in the ring and run against her in the upcoming election. I would certainly be more engaged and accessible with my district than she is.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you Tony, for complimenting Nadia
ReplyDeleteGood for Tracy!
ReplyDeleteTracy, we need people like you to stand up to these entrenched assholes who serve themselves instead of the populace.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready and willing to take on that challenge. I do not have the monetary backing nor the am I in anybody's pocket (or ever will be!). I hate what I see taking place in my own backyard as well as the city that I live in. I am grassroots and will stay grassroots. I want to get out there and meet the people that I will be representing, not hiding behind a desk at City Hall.
ReplyDeleteTracy, you may find that when you challenge these self-serving incumbents, persons will come out and support you financially and otherwise. Jackson County and Kansas City needs a kick in the balls, i.e., incumbents need to be sent packing.
ReplyDeleteOusting incumbents just because they're incumbents makes absolutely no sense. Being an educated, thoughtful voter makes a lot more sense! If they're not doing their job don't vote for them.
ReplyDeleteWhere has Cathy Jolly done her "job"? She's just another pretty puppet face who's strings belong to those who she's sold out to.
