Kansas City Power Players Broker Coalition Behind The Scenes

Let's start cowtown political missive with a bit of science . . .

"In physics, horror vacui, commonly stated as "nature abhors a vacuum", is a postulate attributed to Aristotle, who articulated a belief, later criticized by the atomism of Epicurus and Lucretius, that nature contains no vacuums because the denser surrounding material continuum would immediately fill the rarity of an incipient void."

Similarly . . .

INSIDERS TELL TKC: ELECTION SEASON INSPIRES COALITION BUILDING AMONGST KANSAS CITY'S RULING CLASS!!!

Without many stars or heavy hitters gaining traction at the council level . . . It seems as if the political bosses are ready to seize control and exert even more influence over local politics.

Here's the word . . .

"They're all talking with one another now. Freedom talks with Northland Strong, The FOP is communicating with the Heavies, the AFL-CIO and the Citizens Association. Of course the business community is always at work with The Chamber and the Civic Council . . . The Downtown Council is in the mix as well . . . The point is that without much leadership . . . These groups are FINALLY starting to realize that they have MORE INFLUENCE WORKING TOGETHER rather than trying to wrangle all of their council kittens to get a few things accomplished."

A glimpse at the future . . . 

"Look for this coalition to weigh in on important issues TOGETHER in order to direct policy. Pleading their case on the 29th floor can only get them so far . . . In the future, KC is going to see a more direct approach from these leaders when it comes to crafting local policy rather than council members and the mayor calling the shots; They'll simply be a part of a BIGGER metro coalition."

We're interested in seeing how this works . . . If at all . . . Still, the word is out . . . Kansas City's elite power players aren't content to let the Mayor and members of council dictate terms and seem to be taking a more AGGRESSIVE tact as election season moves closer.
