The Star's Steve Kraske writes an optimistic column regarding the Kansas City Mayoral race and contends that mudslinging and personal wealth as a factor in this election are absent this time around . . . A very TRUSTED TKC TIPSTER responds: "Behind the scenes there has been dirty campaigning. And about the money, HELLO?!?!? Has he seen Mike Burke's freaking disclosure forms?"
TKC Note: Kansas City Mayoral Candidate Mike Burke loaned himself $45k last reporting period.

No Mudslinging? I guess as long as you ignore the fact that everyone is doing that to Funkhouser and the Burke-Hermann behind the scenes trash-fest has been going on for over a year and the Rowland v everyone attacks are ongoing.
ReplyDeleteAbout money- True, no one has the ability to buy it like Barnes did.
The campaign may be a little more civil but the fact remains that with the exception of Wheeler and Klein everyone in the race is just a whore for special interests.
ReplyDeleteThe negatives against The Co-mayors could be much much worse. The Funk(roe) needs to keep it clean or it could get ugly fast.
ReplyDeleteWhat does Burke's disclosure forms have to do with anything?
ReplyDeleteThere definitely is some mudslinging going on in some camps: Rowland and Funk's. It seems that when you can't stand on your own merits, you must start playing dirty.
9:12, Burke's financial disclosure has a lot to do with everything...when you look at them, you can see the tens of thousands of dollars Burke has lent to his campaign.
