45 Comments


The residency fight in the 3rd District is getting serious, could be reaching a national stage and is starting to involve a growing cast of players.

To wit . . .

MICHAEL KASPER IS THE ATTORNEY WHO WON A RESIDENCY BATTLE FOR CHICAGO MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL AND NOW HE'S COMING TO KANSAS CITY TO WORK ON THIS 3RD DISTRICT FIGHT!!!

Not too long after his Rahm Emanuel residency victory, Kasper is slated to handle all of the briefings for the Fletcher side and if scheduling allows, he just might be arguing the case in appeals court on Monday.



Just in case anybody might doubt how serious this guy is . . . Here's a bit of his bio:

"Michael Kasper served as General Counsel to Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and as Parliamentarian to the Illinois House of Representatives. Mr. Kasper currently serves as General Counsel and Treasurer for the Democratic Party of Illinois.

"Mr. Kasper is also a faculty member at Loyola University of Chicago School of Law and the John Marshall School of Law where he teaches courses on Voting Rights & Elections and the Legislative Process to second and third year law students.

"There is no debate that Mr. Kasper is one of the most prominent election lawyers in the country. He has represented hundreds of public officials with election cases including former President Bill Clinton, White House Chief of Staff and former Congressman Rahm Emanuel . . ." 

Obviously, this case is going to get even more serious and from what I've heard, Kasper is confident about a victory in appeals court. Following the Missouri Supreme Court decision 3rd District Candidate Michael Fletcher maintains that a Jackson County judge declared him a resident which affirms his right to remain on the ballot.

Obviously, this residency battle has reached a new pitch and with the preeminent residency attorney in the nation now on his way to Kansas City to take up this fight . . . A face-off between Mr. Fletcher and Council Lady Sharon Sanders Brooks at the ballot box instead of the courtroom looks likely.
