TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KC3T PAC BUILDS EPIC CAMPAIGN WAR CHEST AS NEW KANSAS CITY SINGLE-TERMINAL AIRPORT VOTE APPROACHES!!!



The KC Transportation Transit and Tourism Committee was formed this earlier this year and September has seen a litany of local concerns contributing BIG MONEY to this political action group as the the new airport election draws near.

Missouri political operative Matt Dameron is the treasurer of KC3T and we've compiled this quick list of EPIC donations over this past month.

Take a peek:

UMB Bank - $10,000

Cerner Corporation - $100,000

Hallmark Cards - $25,000

Husch Blackwell - $25,000

Heavy Constructors Association Industry Advancement Fund - $100,000

Kansas City Regional Association of REALTORS - $15,000

The Builders Association - $25,000

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City - $10,000

And so . . .

That's $310K WORTH OF EPIC FUNDRAISING IN JUST ONE MONTH DESPITE AN AIRPORT BIDDING CIRCUS COUPLED WITH BURNS & MAC FAIL!!!

What have we learned???

Local political pundits tell us the campaign for the new airport is behind schedule and confronts a great deal of skepticism. That's true BUT  this data reported FIRST on TKC reveals that there's also a lot of cash weighing in on the topic of transit that's sure to change and/or buy local goodwill.

    1. Kind of a shame. They might as well burn that money because voters still don't trust Mayor James with a new airport after this secretive process.

    2. Now is the time to demand some money from this Pac. They're going to raise your airline tickets forever so you might was well get paid up front.

  2. Glad to see these companies stepping up! We need to move KC forward and this is the best way to modernize and put our best foot forward. This is only the beginning, looking forward to seeing a lot more companies step forward!!!

  3. If we build a new airport, airlines from all over the world will make Kansas City their new hub, and we'll have 46 million tourists flocking in to see our new toot toot, the eighth wonder of the world, every single year for the next millenium. A new airport is all it will take to make Kansas City a "must visit." Trust me.

  4. 10:36 nailed it, if they want to put things on a right course the public will respond. If they want to steamroll then expect a contest.

  8. That's chump change for those businesses.

  9. If they want to be persuasive, they'll need specifics, something we haven't seen yet.

    General or celebrity or hick ads like those done by BM won't help and might hurt.

  14. Graft on public record. The spirits of Boss Tom and J.C. Nichols live on. Ya' gotta' love it.

  15. Time for a ruling that says all forms of business are prohibited from campaign contributions. Politicians are suppose to be for the people not the corporations. In fact make it a huge ass and I mean huge ass fine if any business is caught paying in to any political race.

    George Carlin was right, the corporations own our asses lock stock and barrel and daily fuck us right up the ass.

  16. They should just be giving that money to NOVA or the Jazz District

  17. So we'll be seeing lots of ads telling us why we need this for a small handful of people who spend most of their time flying in and out of KCI and live here one or two days a week.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh, God, noooooooo....... That's means will we will drowning in mailers and TV ads showing sad pictures of people waiting in line at the "old" airport. I know money talks, but we voters can exercise what little power we have left by saying NO NO NO NO NO NO.

    Please vote.

  19. If the streetcar expansion is any indication, we the people can vote no in November and the city will build the airport anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  20. If RIVERBOAT GAMBLING approval in this area was any indication, we the people can vote no in November and the city will build the airport anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Vote no so that a remodel, a common-sense remodel, can be done for a fraction of the cost.

    ReplyDelete
