Insider: Kansas City Biz Community Unite Against Exec Frank White

For Sunday we want to start with a singular topic and a glimpse at how local politics works behind the scenes.

We've noted the basics of this story previously but now we have a bit of confirmation and more deets. 

The main takeaway and a glimpse at the future: 

KANSAS CITY BIZ LEADERS ARE UNITED IN OPPOSITION AGAINST FRANK WHITE AND NOW WORK TO ACTIVELY SEEK HIS REMOVAL AFTER STADIUM TAX DEFEAT!!!

Perspective & insider word . . .

"Think about it this way . . . The Jackson County Executive just took money out of the pocket of some of the most powerful people in Kansas City. We're talking MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and a construction project that would've been bigger than the airport. They're not going to just let that slide or forget about it . . . Now he says he's going to run again. There are doubts that his career will carry him that far. The decision has been made, the overwhelming majority of the business community now see Jackson County Executive Frank White as the biggest local impediment to progress."

Translation . . .

Snubbing the unions, the heavies and many of the civic elite has political consequences. 

Even worse . . .

Whilst some may admire his bold stance on the stadium tax issue . . . At the same time, longtime critics over property tax assessments won't object to the political long knives coming to conclude the career of the Executive.

And so . . .

As we noted previously . . .

Voters for campaign 2024 can expect to see a more "professional" class of signature gatherers working on the petition campaign in August & November. 

Moreover . . . 

KANSAS CITY BIZ LEADERS ARE NOW PUTTING MONEY TOWARD OPPOSITION AGAINST FRANK WHITE!!!

Remember . . .

The Executive contradicted former allies at Freedom, Inc. and unions that he promised to support. 

BUT . . .

Tragically, he didn't gain many supporters with his Stadium Tax opposition.

A question for readers because we honestly don't know . . .

DO YOU THINK CROSSROADS DENIZENS WILL RETURN THE FAVOR AND STAND FIRM IN THEIR ALLIANCE WITH EXEC FRANK WHITE?!?

Typically . . . People waiting for gratitude usually die of starvation and/or boredom when it comes to politics.

Again . . . It's not our biz here at www.TonysKansasCity.com to take sides . . . We only serve to offer a preview of how local politics will take shape in the very near future. 

What we will note is that the saga of Jackson County Executive Frank White is quickly becoming the stuff of legend. The former ball player turned politico, then tax fighter and now municipal sacrifice is an iconic career arc that will not only send a message to the current crop of political leaders but also define the politics of this cowtown for years.
