Kansas City outrage over the new airport RFP and bidding antics seem to have backfired against one of the biggest engineering firms in the nation that was hoping to win an EPIC contract by way of the charisma, charm and power of their strongest political ally.
Translation . . .
DID THE BURNS & MAC PLAN TO CAPITALIZE ON MAYOR SLY'S SOCIAL MEDIA POWER BACKFIRE AMID PUBLIC OUTRAGE OVER YET ANOTHER CLUMSY START TO THE AIRPORT CONVERSATION?!?
Their strategy works on paper.
Mayor Sly has 100K twitter followers and he gets nothing but good press.
However, he's quickly moving into lame duck status and there are no less than three major Mayoral contenders with many more waiting in the wings.
Better still . . . KCMO council is packed with lawyers and longtime power players who aren't that impressed with media celebrity that only lasts until the next bad news cycle.
Like it or not, banking solely on Mayor Sly for big money seems to be a horrific mistake for Burns & Mac that now looks like the bad guy as they chase a HUUUUUUGE airport contract and start a discussion that might last a lot longer than November.
Meanwhile, the majority of the airport conversation continues to take place behind the scenes as political players plant stories and consultants continues pushing their agenda disguised as "activism" online.
Developing . . .
Sly'a like the guy in the joke where there are just two people attending his funeral and one is pointing out to the other that the deceased had over two thousand Twitter followers.
ReplyDeleteMedia power?
Hahahahahahaha!!
Yes, Burns & McDouche is a relatively inexperienced player in corruption. They seriously let their greed get the best of them, so much that they failed to see how stupid and inept Sly is.
ReplyDeleteDID THE BURNS & MAC PLAN TO CAPITALIZE ON MAYOR SLY'S SOCIAL MEDIA POWER
ReplyDeleteOh, that was their plan?
According to who?
Who has actually claimed or implied that was their "plan?"
Anyone reputable, or willing to put their name behind it?
Go ahead, we'll all wait.
No?
Didn't think so.
There are things about the players in this farce that simply don't compute.
ReplyDeleteFUCKING BLOODY CONSTRAINT!!!
ReplyDeleteBurns and McDouchebag deserves their now ruined reputation. Their name is now synonymous with greed and corruption. Was is worth it?
ReplyDeleteAny Kansas Citian that pays a water & sewer bill should oppose any contract with Burns & Mac!!

ReplyDelete@9:59 NAILS IT!
ReplyDeleteKC needs to take a much closer took at how burns and mac is running this city into the ground.
Sly will never get to congress if he can't butter some bread and deliver the pork.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about making sure everybody eats well. Not just his friends and drinking buddies. He still hasn't learned that.
10:10 nails it , so true ! Graft , corruption , pay OFF , booze , hookers , Homo hangout hookers at Diebels on the Plaza , Glory hole Diebels whereas the old Queen's hang out , man boy weirdness abounds BITCHES ¡!¿?
ReplyDeleteLet's make something clear. The airlines ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR A NEW TERMINAL. Repeat after me: THE AIRLINES ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR A NEW AIRPORT. They don't mind if we taxpayers do, but they are only going to pay their usual rent for the space they use. The City must stop saying what is not true. WE WILL BE PAYING FOR A NEW TERMINAL. There is no guarantee that the airlines currently using KCI will even be in business a year from now. Remember Braniff and TWA? Where are they now? For the last time, THE AIRLINES WILL NEVER PAY FOR A NEW AIRPORT. WE WILL. REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU GET READY TO VOTE. EVEN IF YOU DON'T FLY AT ALL, YOU WILL STILL BE PAYING FOR A NEW TERMINAL.
ReplyDeletePROOF, just how outta touch with reality BURNS & MAC really is and how clueless & naïve they are !
ReplyDeleteIf their stupid enough to believe that KCMO Mayor Sly Commie James was popular,,,,,
then WE can't trust them to build a new Airport, since their that damn dumb, ignorant & clueless !!!
Burns & Mac, your FIRED !!!!
Effective immediately !!!!!
