Journalist Eric Wesson & Next Page KC Endorse Jackson County Recall Yes Vote

This word from a Kansas City community newspaper is a bigger deal than most voters might realize. 

Insiders know that veteran journalist Eric Wesson is an influential throwback to a nearly forgotten time when newspapers garnered trust from readers and editorials served to drive voting blocs.

The best hope of the Jackson County Exec for survival is support from the local Black community and sections of the Southeast side of the county that have always supported him. 

Now . . .

Next Page KC has more influence in KC metro communities than the Exec and this info & analysis will likely work against Frank White's hopes of remaining in office.

Here's the crux of the editorial and a clip sent our way by insiders . . .  

"THE NEXT PAGE KC recommends a YES vote for the recall of Frank White Jr. as Jackson County Executive.

"Our recommendation is not based upon his position of a NO vote on the stadium tax last year. We didn't even take into consideration many of the comments he made both before and after the vote concerning the "value" both teams bring to Jackson County.
