Here's an important look at changing times @ 12th & Oak and how some things remain the same.
The lead photo is a postcard of the Court House (foreground) and City Hall (background) in Kansas City, Missouri at night. This vantage point faces north-northwest just east of the intersection of Locust and 13th Street.
The image is shared via a KC Public Library exhibit on the Pengergast years highlighting the "golden era" of this town when crime, corruption, the Great Depression and jazz dominated the culture of Kansas City.
Similarly . . .
COURTHOUSE INSIDERS SHARE ANOTHER EPIC IMAGE OF A NOT SO LONG AGO JACKSON COUNTY BALLOT FEATURING A CONVICTED FELON ALONG WITH POLITICOS CURRENTLY UP FOR REELECTION!!!
Take a peek:
At the top of the photo is former County Executive Mike Sanders before he entered a guilty plea for federal wire fraud.
Below . . . That's current Exec Frank White along with legislators Tony Miller & Crystal Williams proudly sharing the same ticket . . . Once again, these three are asking voters for support despite ongoing allegations of corruption and crime threatening the Courthouse via an ongoing human rights crisis at the jail.
You decide . . .
They're not just asking for votes, they also need financial support for their campaigns.

ReplyDeleteCrystal Corruption Williams better start looking because her days are numbered.
ReplyDeleteReally disappointing because I considered voting for Crytal a long time ago. She talked a good game and seemed serious about cleaning up the County. But look at what we've got now, it's a mess that is going to cost MILLIONS to deal with and she hasn't shown any leadership through any of it. I want to support women candidates and I want to see new leaders bring change, I feel like Crystal exploited that feeling among a lot of people and just left them with a lot of empty promises.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't we have Crosby Kemper as Mayor?
ReplyDeleteLet the feds take over the jail and city government.
ReplyDelete6:20 is right!
ReplyDeleteMost of them are probably corrupt but Mike Sanders is the only one who has been caught.
ReplyDeleteClaire McCaskill's good friend and associate Mike Sanders.
ReplyDeleteWhen is that turd going to prison?
