TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! TAKE A LOOK AT THE PLAYERS AND HIGH STAKES OF THE JACKSON COUNTY REDISTRICTING FIGHT!!!
Top notch JACKSON COUNTY INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS from a KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTER that puts upcoming redistricting in perspective . . . Check it:
"The district boundaries of the Jackson County Legislature will be subject to redistricting this year and the process to select the people to perform the task is under way. The process is that the Jackson County Democratic Committee and the Jackson County Republican Committee each elect six persons and submit them to the county. The County Executive then selects three names from the Democrats and three names from the Republicans to comprise the panel of the actual redistricting.
"Last night, the Jackson County Democratic Committee elected the following people to represent the Democratic Party in the redistricting process.
County District 1: John Burnett, former State Representative, former County Legislator and lawyer;
District 2: Edward Pendleton, lawyer;
District 3: Keith Querry, employee of Blue Cross and Blue Shield (large contributor to Jacks County Executive Mike Sanders),
District 4: Tom Wyrsch, Jackson County employee;
District 5: Danny Mata, United Auto Workers Union member and Democratic Committeeman;
District 6: Phil LeVota, Former Chairman of the Jackson County Democratic Committee, Executive member of the Missouri State Democratic Committee, and lawyer."
TKC agrees 100% with this question:
"The County Executive must pick three of these people to literally fight with Republicans on the distinct boundaries and represent the best interest of the Democratic Party.
The question: Will Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders actually pick people that will work in the best interest of the party or will he pick people who he can 'control' to do his own bidding so he can hold the legislature hostage with threats of cutting their districts?
Unfortunately, it's highly probable that he will do the latter. Look at the list and it is clear who would work on behalf of the party and at least a couple people that will surely be the County Executive's flunkies."
We'll have to wait and see on this one but the struggle here is for nothing less than the political future of Jackson County and how voters will be represented.
DEVELOPING . . .
Sanders will screw it up and the GOP will "accidentally" win another seat on the county.
ReplyDeleteMike Sanders will F this up too. His whole tenure has been off the mark.
ReplyDeleteI regret my vote for him this go-round. I will not make the same mistake 3 times. Recall anyone?
He won't pick John, Ed, or Phil. So that leaves you your three.
ReplyDeletewe're all screwed, no matter what. so what's the point?
ReplyDeletePhil why do you even care enough to send this to Tony? Get a life.
ReplyDeleteHow many times do you plan to vote next year Phil? Do you have a limit on the number of states that you plan to vote in?
ReplyDeleteThere should be an investigation on why the county moved its health insurance contract to Blue Cross Blue Shield and then Mike Sanders started getting huge campaign donations from that same company.
ReplyDeleteHe's not up for office so he's not democrat this year.
ReplyDeleteHe sucks
ReplyDeleteHow come Jason Kander was not one of the six?
ReplyDeletePhil Phil phil. You are such a moron.
ReplyDeleteSo Phil beats the Sanders/Querry crowd again last night and here goes the typical response. Any story that reflects Mike Sanders' true behavior, you guys blame it on the LeVotas. You've tried that for years and it just doesn't work. Sorry to inform you but there are a whole bunch of people that don't like Mikey. Quit giving the LeVotas all the credit! Tony is right, Sanders won't care about the party and will pick his flunkies. You can try to divert everyone with the big old bad LeVotas but people aren't buying it. Sanders will screw his up. Kander for Congress!!
ReplyDeleteSanders lost control of himself late in 2009. Everyone would be interested in knowing what happened...
ReplyDeletewas he Tazzed? Did he wet his pants? WHAT!!!???
