Hartzell Turns Testy Amid Talk Of Taxpayer Subsidy He Also Enjoys

A rising star Kansas City media personality is one of the most outspoken online denizens on a variety of cowtown hot topics.

Hartzell Gray has recently engaged his thousands of fans & followers on the following issues:

The local entertainer fights against climate change. 

Hartzell also speaks to law enforcement issues and blames "privilege" for youth violence on the Plaza.

On matters of international import . . . Hartzell accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" amid the ongoing Holy Land war.

Again . . . For those who don't know . . . 

Hartzell is the "in-stadium host" for Sporting KC.  

More importantly . . .  

Let's not forget that Children's Mercy Park is home to Sporting and is a $200-MILLION stadium that was built with TIF financing approved by the Unified Government in The Dotte.

A politico alluded to this inconvenient fact amid Hartzell's recent advocacy against a public vote on the Jackson County sales tax extension. 

Remember that many Kansas City insiders have asked this question outright:

Recently, regarding this topic . . . An elected official noted as much and claimed the talker "banked" on this very same kind of taxpayer subsidy that Jackson County hopes to extend . . . Hartzell seemed a bit peeved . . . Here's his money line:
