Kansas City Elite Political Donors Choose Mayor Q Over Council

The upshot from this campaign season and behind the scenes complaints persist . . . 

DONATIONS TO MAYOR Q OUTPACE NEARLY ALL OF HIS COUNCIL COLLEAGUES PUT TOGETHER!!!

A quick glimpse at the inevitable . . .

At the end of the last reporting period in January, Mayor Q amassed $665,785.65 on hand, having raised nearly 80 grand over the holidays. 

And this doesn't count another D.C. based PAC supporting Mayor Q that now approaches half a million bucks. 

That's right . . . Mayor Q has a campaign war chest worth around 1.1 MILLION BUCKS and his only opponent is Clay Chastain and his monorail dream.

Obviously this means Mayor Q is on to bigger and better things beyond KCMO.

We can only hope he won't waste much time meddling in civic affairs whilst attempting to take measurements in Congressman Cleaver's office. 

In the meantime and after checking a slew of familiar names from his reports . . .

The consequence of Mayor Q taking up so much cash from law firms, developers, construction companies, civic snobs and politicos is that council contenders are cash poor, funding their own campaigns and tap dancing via social media for attention . . . A few of the smart contenders are leveraging union relationships and community connections . . . But again . . . The word is out amongst the monied class . . . 

Paying Mayor Q might be more effective than delving into neighborhood politics or, God forbid, attending one of those low-rent local forums.
