Thanks to our blog community we've got the FIRST big news in the Kansas City political endorsement game . . .
FORWARD KANSAS CITY FAVORS UPSTART BIZ DUDE CANDIDATE STEVE MILLER FOR MAYOR!!!
As always, KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS get the first word and it's just a bit salty toward the establishment favorite . . .
"The only Northland candidate Scott Wagner was passed up by the Northland PAC, Forward KC. They endorsed Steve Miller for Mayor. Looks like Miller's star is rising!"
We put out a few more e-mails and word is that the Council Dude and Mayor Pro Tem was exceptionally disappointed by the news given that he believed he had the votes among this group that has always supported him in the past.
And so . . .
THIS IS AN EPIC WIN FOR STEVE MILLER WHO GARNERS NORTHLAND SUPPORT THAT'S CRUCIAL IN WINNING THE CONTEST FOR KANSAS CITY MAYOR!!!
At the very least . . . This win was essential in the desperate effort to make it to the primary.
Developing . . .
So, TKC, it looks like the north land does have a candidate after all. This is good news.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so he's a business lawyer and was appointed to the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission. But does anybody know who he REALLY is? Electing somebody with no political experience is an extremely risky proposition.
DeleteAfter all the "horse race" reporting and speculation, as usual, around 10% of registered voters in KCMO will actually vote in the mayoral election and the "winner" will be chosen by the usual suspects.
ReplyDeleteOlder residents who "love our city" and pine for the grand old days of shopping downtown and other nostalgia.
Insiders who are looking for a way into the general fund unaccountable gravy train.
East side grifters who wont bring many votes to the game and make believe they're big players, when actually their influence is based on intimidation and threats.
Developers and their attorneys who understand how to access the wonderful world of tax abatements, subsidies, TIFs, and outright grants.
Consultants who generate six-figure "studies" of nonsensically 't ambitions plans that don't have a chance of being implemented, but that provide a nice and regular income.
And Chamber swells, most of who live in Kansas, but who make the campaign contributions crucial to a candidate's chance of victory and expect the usual excellent return on their investment.
Regular residents really need not apply.
It never changes.
Steve could not be any worse than SLie as mayor.
ReplyDeleteKCMO needs to be split into at least 2 other cities along county lines. Way too many square miles for the thieves at 12th and Oak to manage.
ReplyDelete7:13 says it all. Too bad there is no local media willing to admit it.
ReplyDeleteSteve comes in second, right behind clay!
ReplyDeleteVegas loves clay!
Don't put too much emphasis on this "endorsement", the so-called "Forward Kansas City PAC" is just a group of Johnson County, Kansas Real Estate Developers who've hired Tim Kristl, sort of "hired gun" Lawyer who has a storefront office up north, to cover up their campaign contributions to any wholly-owned flunky they rent temporarily.
ReplyDeleteThis also ran has no real support North of the River.
Just a hired hand for the TIF Farmers based across the State line.
^^^^ Wagner and his 3 fans are up early.
ReplyDeleteWe thought he had this one but he let it slip away. If he really cared about KC MO, he should probably just drop out.
Scott still has a chance but it's a long shot. He needs to start talking about the issues that really impact this city and maybe put an end to this airport nonsense. He was on the right track but now seems to be playing it safe. There's no reason to hold back now. People don't care about affordable housing, most don't expect the city to provide it. It's the big issues like the airport, the streetcar and higher taxes that move voters. The choice is yours Scott but the consultants don't really want you to win.
ReplyDelete^^^You talk too much.
ReplyDeleteWhere do I get my Clay Chastain yard sign?
ReplyDelete7:14 is correct. KC North, MO and KC, MO. Separate cities. Or have North Kanssas City annex all North of river, except they are better off without any part of this shithole.
ReplyDelete@9:32-Your mom's bedroom. She's fucking him.
ReplyDelete@10:00, unlike yours, who's upstairs in her bedroom, waiting for YOU!
ReplyDelete^^Ugh. Unimaginative response dude. You're clearly reacting instead of acting. Do better. That shit was as weak as you knees.
ReplyDeleteYES SIR!
ReplyDeleteI'll shut up and never post again SIR!
And may I complement you on your original and devastatingly witty first post @10:00, which was the most wonderful insult ever devised in the History Of Mankind!
And of course I mustn't overlook the absolute splendor of your response @10:29, ending with the deadly reference to "you knees", which was so much more deadly that it would have been if you knew jack shit about the English Grammar and had said "your knees"!
Goodbye forever SIR! and so sorry to have disturbed your morning, please accept my apology and continue with your valuable work!
@10:49-Thank you! Now go.....
ReplyDelete@11:11, he went - don't you notice his absence?
ReplyDeleteWho? Which white dude is this again? Conehead? False flag? I can't keep track.
ReplyDeleteSteve and his band make awful music.
ReplyDeleteHe’s a helluva lot more attractive than the ton of brown poo that’s there now.
