Really interesting note from Mahoney blog offers an insider perspective on one of the power players who really controls Kansas City's GOP Convention fate . . . And maybe even Mayor Sly showing a rare instance of humility as Kansas City gets down to bidding crunch time . . .
"In an interview with KMBC Thursday, Mayor Sly James noted it was (GOP Consultant) Nugent that started the city’s convention bid two years ago.
"She and the current convention boosters, however split on unfriendly terms.
"Nugent is now assisting the city of Denver’s bid to become the GOP host city."

This nod to Ms. Nugent's work is kind of a shocker ... In much the same way that it doesn't make any sense that Jeff Roe isn't (yet) at the forefront of Kansas City's Republican finish line push.
Developing . . .
For all the tax money spent on this futile exercise, the most KCMO residents can hope for is some repair to streets and sidewalks, some new plantings to replace the shrubs that have been dead for years, and maybe a derelict building or to torn down in preparation for the GOP site visit.
ReplyDeleteJust like with the All Star Game.
Then, after another city is chosen by the GOP, the money flow will return to the streetcar, where it is so desperately needed to pay the ever-inceasing bills.
A city that works.
Just not for you.
cum guy, you are going to have to pull some tai chi inner peace shit to be able to do your usual with this ole girl
ReplyDeleteI always thought Kathy Nugent was Jeff Roe in drag.
ReplyDeleteShe goes where the money is, just like all convention whores.
Sly's going to bankrupt KC and the fact is the fastest growing city's in America are in the South and Southwest.
ReplyDeleteI hear she was demanding kick-backs from venders and not telling the boosters that she was getting the extra cash.
ReplyDeleteBut, she wears a little cross.
I swear she has gotten fatter yet.
ReplyDeleteLemme tell ya boys ...it ain't gonne be over till the Nugent lady sings.
ReplyDeleteWhen Sly's next 4 year term is up, some hapless citizen, overburdened and otherwise crushed by endless taxes fees and levies brought down on us by Sly and his Council Cohorts, is going to string him up. Not that I'm a fan of bringing back lynching but that's what Sly deserves now and by that time we are all but certain to see his lifeless body swinging by his bowtie from the end of a tree.
ReplyDeleteMove over Donald Sterling, there's a new Sheriff in Kansas Shitty.
ReplyDeleteAnd that Sheriff is getting his ass sued. (Yes, Jackson County taxpayers will get the bill.)
