Jackson County 50 GRAND Bribe Investigation Deets Exposed?!?

As always, TKC wants to stay out of court if only because our experience at Catholic school reminds us that when everything goes wrong . . . People typically blame the snarky Westside Latino dude.

"Legislators were asked to bypass normal committee review and approve the deal without a specified site or negotiated terms.

"They voted 7-1-1 to table it. THE BENEFICIARY OF THE DONATION cast the lone vote against tabling.
