TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! JACKSON COUNTY LEGISLATURE CONFRONTS ACCUSATIONS OF SUNSHINE LAW SHENANIGANS AMID LATE BUDGET BEHIND THE SCENES BATTLE ROYALE!!!
This year the Jackson County Budget Battle is one of the worst local government fights we've ever seen and the mainstream media is keeping most of it off record.
To wit . . .
NOW TKC TIPSTERS OFFER ANOTHER SIDE TO THE STORY AND REVEAL COURTHOUSE SCHEMING THAT THREATENS TO RUN AFOUL OF MISSOURI SUNSHINE LAW!!!
Here's the word from the most KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTER about the latest in Jackson County budget drama that's still not complete as the zero hour approaches . . .
Newbie legislator Tony Miller was shut out of budget talks as a clique of a half-dozen legislators met without him. Insiders are calling the legality of this move into question. Team Frank is threatening to go to the media with these alleged Missouri Sunshine Law violations and THE KICK-ASS TKC blog community is the FIRST STOP for the complaints if this deal doesn't get done quickly. The Kansas City Star doesn't have a reporter covering these meetings, they're too short-staffed and have backed off the budget ruckus in a big way or at least they only plan to print presser copy and mostly ignore the hot mess.
The Legislature got SMACKED DOWN with Sunshine Law violation threats yesterday and have now schemed to meet in groups of 4. Newsflash: The quorums of committees STILL run afoul of Missouri Sunshine rules & regs according to AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS.
Meanwhile, the MEGA-BUCKS COUNTY ATTORNEY isn't saying a peep and his inaction is making insiders angry on both sides of this debate.
And so . . .
THE TRAGICALLY LATE JACKSON COUNTY BUDGET DRAMA PERSISTS BEHIND THE SCENES AND LEGISLATORS AND THE EXEC'S OFFICE BATTLE OVER FUNDS THAT ARE SCARCE THANKS TO THE CRISIS AT THE JAIL!!!
Eventually, MSM will catch up to the drama as the tardiness of the Courthouse budget grows increasingly shameful.
Developing . . .
I would call it a tempest in a teapot but those jail cases are going to be huge. Just look at the property tax bills that will make up the difference.
ReplyDeleteOOOH INSIDERS
ReplyDeleteHey how's that federal investigation all your insiders wouldn't shut up about going? Will there be indictments soon???
hahahaha, of course not
There was a federal investigation of the jail. Stay in JoCo, this stuff is moving too fast for you.

Another rip-off
ReplyDeleteThe star hasn't had anyone covering the courthouse for years. As long as they're getting tax breaks, they just don't give a crap.
ReplyDeleteFrank is the one who made a mess of this, not the legislature. He is the one to blame.
ReplyDeleteFun Fact: Kathryn Shields was the first elected official in Missouri to be fined for failure to follow the "Sunshine Law"
