Mayor James announces Former Senator Kit Bond will serve as the City’s federal lobbyist
Former Missouri Senator and Governor will bring decades of experience to Kansas City’s efforts in Washington, D.C.
(Kansas City, Missouri) --- The City of Kansas City has selected former Missouri Senator and Governor Christopher “Kit” Bond to serve as its federal lobbyist. After reviewing many qualified submissions and conducting interviews with both local and national firms, a contract will be extended to Kit Bond Strategies to carry Kansas City’s message to Washington, D.C.
Former Senator Bond has worked on a number of successful projects in Kansas City, including the IRS Center, the NNSA/Honeywell Project, the Charles Evans Whitaker Federal Courthouse, Sam Rodgers Community Health Center, Swope Parkway Community Health Center, the Guadalupe Center, the KCATA Bus Rapid Transit System and the Chouteau Bridge. As the streetcar project progresses, his experience working with the KCATA on transportation issues will be a tremendous asset.
In addition, former Senator Bond retains deep connections to the current Congress and agency officials. His close relationships with members of the House of Representatives and Senators in key positions in Transportation, Housing, Appropriations, and Small Business, all of which are areas of need in Kansas City. “I’m confident former Senator Bond will help us serve our residents well, because he has a proven track record of accomplishment in service to Kansas City. For example, he is currently serving as a Co-Chair with Henry Cisneros on the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Federal Commission on Housing, which will issue recommendations in February. I'm certain he will use that experience to improve our City's programming and reputation with regard to housing issues,” said Kansas City Mayor Sylvester “Sly” James.
“I am proud to say that Kansas City will be the only governmental entity Kit Bond Strategies will represent,” said Mayor James. “There are few other than our current elected officials who know our needs and priorities as well as Kit Bond. He has long been a friend of Kansas City and will be a powerful voice in Washington to assist in accomplishing our goals.”
“In the Governor’s Mansion and in the U.S. Senate I championed Kansas City’s priorities, from revitalizing neighborhoods, to improving transportation infrastructure, to increasing access to health care, and I am excited to continue fighting for the City on this new front,” said former Senator Bond.

Why he choose he Dinosaur?
ReplyDeleteWow, what will the City's liquor expenses be?
ReplyDeleteGood choice for scaring investors away.
ReplyDeleteWell of course he will!
ReplyDeleteThe bar tab alone will be a pretty penny, let alone the retainer and expenses.
ReplyDeleteWill we be paying for Annie Presley's personal services to Mr. Bond as well?
Hire Bond, layoff city workers? Any city worker who is let go should contact labor attorney Mark Jess. He knows how to beat the city in such matters. He's in the book.
ReplyDeleteHey! Leave the asshole alone. He's got a fucking bridge named after him.
ReplyDeleteHe's the king of corruption. Perfect fit for a good lobbyist.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget he'll also bring more Kansas City insider dealings and corruption. We really won here!
ReplyDeleteToy train expansion money is in the bag......in return for the unneeded, scandalous and economic boondoggle of a Lambert international intermodal facility
ReplyDeleteKit Bond - the poster boy for term limits.
ReplyDeleteStarted out a reformer and ended up a sad, corrupt old drunk.

That's SENATOR Sad, Old Drunk To You!
ReplyDeleteFucking Peons.
Sly James slaps Cleaver and Alan Wheat in the face in order to curry favor with Kansas City's monied elite.
ReplyDeleteIn politics you reap what you sow. There will be consequences for this egotistical Mayor and he's too self-involved to see the future. A very sad day for Democrats...
Every day is a sad day for Democrats.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Kit Bond was a Republican.
ReplyDeleteSly is such an ass kisser. I want his ass out!
ReplyDeleteDon't we need someone to get us tons of federal cash through the dark art of lobbying since McCaskill seems to be actually keeping her promise to not earmark the hell out of every bill? I mean, Roy Blunt can't do all the hard work of corrupting the Appropriations process himself.
ReplyDeleteSly, can a cup your nutsack in my hands and smell your balls?????
