Making the wrong decision in Kansas City politics can be a costly mistake.
Thankfully, some rather KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTERS were able to give us a bit of insight into Mayor Sly's latest Kansas City fundraiser.
To wit . . .
KANSAS CITY POLITICAL DENIZENS NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO "SUPPORT THE MAYOR" AT PRICES RANGING FROM $1,000 TO $3,000!!!
An AWESOME AND WELL-INFORMED TKC TIPSTER describes the event this way . . .
"It's called a "make right" or "Mea culpa" fundraiser. Politicians regularly have these after they win in order to give everyone an opportunity to apologize for supporting the opposition by writing a BIG CHECK. For people who supported the other side, this is their best chance to get back in Sly's good graces at the outset of his term."
Honorary hosts and Former Mayors Charles Wheeler, Richard Berkley, Emanuel Cleaver II and Kay Barnes will be there to party with Mayor Sly . . . Congressman Cleaver supported Sly on the down low and the other three were proponents of Mike Burke . . .
But that's okay because the event hosts are former Mayoral Candidates Mike Burke, Deb Hermann and Jim Rowland . . . Obviously, they want to play nice and this PRICEY Party is a great place to start.
SERIOUSLY, MAYOR SLY JAMES STARTED OUT WITH THE FOLKSY STARLIGHT $10 PICNIC BUT THIS FUNDRAISER IS MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE KANSAS CITY POWER PLAYERS WHO MUST NOW BANKROLL THIS TOWN'S MOST BELOVED POLITICO!!!
TAKE A LOOK AT THE FULL INVITE FOR YOURSELF.
Congratulations to those of you who can afford $1-3k in order to apologize to the Mayor for supporting the wrong guy . . .
The Boulevard Brewery location on June 23rd starting at 5:30 PM isn't as swanky as I would have hoped but I'm sure the First Class brew should make cutting that kind of check a bit easier to swallow.
Obviously, this kind of thing is above my pay grade but I'm happy to EXCLUSIVELY inform Kansas City power players of the first chance to pay tribute to the new Mayor.
You're welcome.
Free tickets?

ReplyDelete"It's called a "make right" or "Mea culpa" fundraiser.
ReplyDeleteAlso known as "BUY MY VOTE" and/or "Buy TIF Project Support".
KC taxpayers are in for a real ride.
When does that Big Boy plain on starting to work. Party, Party, Party, Paryt is it.
ReplyDeleteshit we are screwed!
ReplyDeleteDiana Kander needs money.
ReplyDeleteI always thought such events were called "Kiss and make up fundraisers."
ReplyDeleteKCMO is soooooo screwed.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the TKC power fundraiser? Note that I am not proposing a Kiss and Make Up event.... There isn't a room in the metro big enough to accommodate that many people.
ReplyDeleteCome together baby and give me MONEY.
ReplyDeleteMoney Money Money !!!!!!!1
You're awesome tipster must not be well informed. The fundraiser is to help pay for the transition staff that was paid out of campaign funds.
ReplyDeleteNeed a favor? Need a project approved? Need a Tif ?
ReplyDeleteA Little money will solve all your problems.
After all Money makes the world go round.
KCMO new slogan: Money makes the City Go Round.
Disgusting.
ReplyDeleteHey 9:08, does that mean we should expect to see lots of anonymous donations? After all, this is just covering expenses. No... can't influence the mayor. He's above that.
ReplyDeleteHe started fundraising the minute he was elected Mayor. His crew were making fundraising calls the next day and every day thereafter. This is just the public display of the most upfront donors for other people. Not sure whether it is an ego move or money move because they would buy in without the event.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe Cleaver was suppporting him on the down low. Cleaver, via Nutter was opposing him first by giving money to Deb anf then Mike.
This election was never about Burke or James, it was about getting the money guys back in charge. Most didn't really care because they knew which ever candidate won could be easily bought.
ReplyDelete3,000.00 Bucks!
ReplyDeleteHow mant inter-city poor can afford that?
I guess only the rich matter to the new Mayor.
The message is if you don't have money don't show up.
Says a lot about the "new" administration.
Like those who wanted Beth to be Mayor?
ReplyDeletetransition members traditionally are not paid.
ReplyDeleteWill Mary O'Halloran be there with her checkbook open and her mouth shut (for a change)?
ReplyDeleteWhat's disgusting, Byron. Be more specific. I wanna know.
ReplyDeleteI see Mike Burke is a host. What are his views on unsolicited bulk e-mail?
ReplyDeleteWow how politician change after they are in . Its why people dont vote thanks Sly for being the typical money grubbing liar that people suspected.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone say Spell Check? It's such an easy tool to use and nobody seems to be able to use it these days! Sly Mames? Who the H3!! is that?
ReplyDeleteTony fixed it. You must have made him blush.
ReplyDeleteSly needs money. What do you expect when you pay to be Mayor?
ReplyDeleteThanks for fixing Tony! I've been noticing this trend in ALL news publications I read lately. Are news persons just interested in getting their stories out so fast that they don’t have time to use spell check or is the quality of the actual news person declining and they just don’t realize the mistake.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to move the hell out of this city. Of course the voters voted for these money hungry, non-governing dolts. Those who voted for the same, can keep it. I'm outta here. The city will be worse than Detroit, just you watch.
ReplyDeleteagreed.
ReplyDeleteI second that KCMO is on a Huge downslide. Time to leave.
ReplyDeleteis louie and cindy going to be there
ReplyDeleteThis city is about to implode with the worst city council in memory leading the way. Grab your wallets and get outta Dodge.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this clown worth 3 grand a pop while the white guy is only asking for a measly $25? How much of this town is he planning to sell out?
ReplyDeletethis is bad real bad.
ReplyDeleteHey Sly...we'll give you 3 grand if we can have some more Trolleys. Ours are full all the time and we need more. :-) LOL
