Chastain Presses Case Against Mayor Q

Today's note from the longtime local transit activist offers insight on his continued legal battle against city hall . . . Here's the press release he recently sent to local media . . . 

Clay Chastain: The Misbehavior of Mayor Quinton Lucas rumbles on.... 

First, Lucas ordered Chastain restrained, silenced & falsely imprisoned for trying to speak out at a City Hall Public Forum on Lucas refusal to debate. Then Lucas tried to criminalize Chastain (he failed). Then Yesterday, Lucas lied (again) to the Missouri Western District Court of Appeals when he filed (yet) another phony request for another lengthy extension of time to file his "Respondent's Brief". This deceitful power play by Lucas & the City's Legal Department (to manipulate the legal system & stall justice by telling the Court they need *FOUR MONTHS* to answer Chastain's charges) only further exemplifies and further compounds the corruption @ City Hall

The City has scores (perhaps 60) Attorneys. Pro se Chastain has no Attorney. Yet Lucas says (because of a "medical procedure" involving one Attorney) he needs 4 - months (not the customary 30- days) to answer Chastain's charges. The City's Legal Department tells Chastain the City & Lucas aren't interested in apologizing because they feel "confident in their legal case". Yet Lucas says he needs 4 - months to answer Chastain's charges. 

For decades, KC has been ruled by Mayors like Lucas who have used the Marauding Power of Government to Undercut Citizen Power & Abuse a Citizen (who is just trying to improve Kansas City) by... blocking & distorting (numerous) valid Petitions, overturning a Petition election, refusing to debate, falsely jailing rival, manipulating litigation against rival, etc... in order to fortify their own power & advance their own political ambitions.

We can't turn on Kansas City until we turn off Kansas City Corruption (Case No. WD87587).
