TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY POWER COUPLE KATY SHIELDS AND PHIL CARDARELLA CONFRONT 'HILLARY EFFECT' AMID COUNCIL RACE!!!
Kansas City political junkies might remember that not so long ago former Prez Bill Clinton got in trouble for saying that his election was like the voting public getting a "two for one" given the intelligence and acumen of his wife who would advise him.
With Hillary soon to ascend to the throne of American power (real Democracy died with JFK), the subject of political influence seems to be relevant once again . . . Even though Bill Clinton would be the GREATEST FIRST DUDE of all time . . .
But I digress . . .
This topic relates to Kansas City because this wicked little town is still recovering from the undue influence of a former power broker spouse at City Hall whose reign cost more than a million bucks all total and brought some under-qualified lawyer to power just because he had a better smile and much more charisma.
To be fair, Mr. Cardarella has a much more professional and solid reputation than Kansas City's former "First Lady" who single-handedly ruined the career of her husband.
Still . . .
SOME KANSAS CITY INSIDERS FEAR THAT LONGTIME POLITICAL POWER PLAYER PHIL CARDARELLA COULD WIELD UNPRECEDENTED INFLUENCE IF KATY SHIELDS OUSTS INCUMBENT JIM GLOVER!!!
Ms. Shields nearly equals Councilman Glover at the polls and the answer to this question could influence enough votes to make the difference.
Accordingly . . .
TKC IS FIRST TO POSE THIS IMPORTANT INQUIRY TO MR. CARDARELLA AND EARN AN EXCLUSIVE QUOTE!!!
Here's what the longtime Democrat powerhouse had to say:
Phil Cardarella: “ In the eight years that Katheryn was on the Council – from 1987 through 1994 – I can recall going to her office only to hang pictures, go by to pick her up after meetings and help her pack up her things at the end to move over to the County.
When Katheryn was County Executive – since it was a full-time position and as a lawyer I spent a lot of time in the Courts in that building – I would sometimes stop by for coffee or lunch. When asked, I would provide technical or political advice to her – as I did to previous County Executives Bill Waris and Marsha Murphy.
At no time did I represent anyone seeking financial favors from the City or County while Katheryn was in those offices. No developers, no one seeking contracts. At no time did I receive any payment from the City or County for such services. None of that will change when Katheryn is back on the Council.
While it is true that both Katheryn and I have been politically active for a number of years, it is equally true (as anyone who knows her is quite aware) that Katheryn values advice from many sources, but makes her own decisions based on what she believes is the right thing to do.”

And so . . .
You decide . . .
WILL THIS POWER COUPLE OUST COUNCIL DUDE JIM GLOVER?!?! OR COULD "THE HILLARY EFFECT" COST THEM AN EXTREMELY CLOSE RACE???
Whatever the case, this is one more deet that mainstream media won't cover out of politeness but comprises a significant talking point amid Midtown Kansas City political circles.
Developing . . .
Shields is dedicated, nobody else showed up to forums on a scooter.
ReplyDeleteGlover needs to go but leave Costco. What else has he contributed to his constituents except tainted votes.
ReplyDeleteBill Cosby is a serial rapist, House Speaker Dennis Hastert molested young boys and Bruce Jenner is now Caitlin.
ReplyDeleteWho would've ever guessed that the Price of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne would end up having the most respectable family life out of that bunch?
This country is completely TWERKED and JERKED OUT.
Just get rid of the I digress and whilst shit.
ReplyDeleteActually Gloria was outside Marks office to block and shoo away the local rich white bankers, developers, and their attorneys who now control Sly James and crew.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the Funk ordering six new Jeep SUV's to reward his butt kissers.
ReplyDeleteThe reason KCMO settle lawsuits (as quietly as possible) is because a trial would blow the whole lid off of all the corruption taking this town down the past four years.
ReplyDeleteOh gawd now who in the hell is PHIL CARDARELLA?
ReplyDeleteHer husband. Must be a convenience marriage since they don't use each others last name and keep it separate.
ReplyDelete11:48, that's quite common and has been for a long time. You need to get out more.
ReplyDeleteCredibility, like virginity, can not be restored once it's lost.
ReplyDeleteBut these politico's have new generation of clueless kids to exploit now thanks to indiscriminate breeding.
Whatever... I'm voting for Kathy Shields because I despise Jim Glover and will not ever vote for a Lawyer. No, thank you. Politics is politics. Lawyers can go work the law since they love it so much. Most lawyers aren't cut out to make laws. They barely qualify to practice in it.
ReplyDeleteI will stick with my tried and true concept of all politicians,there all great liers and cheaters who say what you want to hear but Never do what they promise.
ReplyDeleteFood trucks compete for 2015 KC Food Truck Rookie of the Year at KC Food Truck Face Off
ReplyDeleteThis what is important. Not Katy Shields
LMAO!
ReplyDeleteBlog Trucks!!!! Maybe Tony can put together a blog truck where people can consume their content at various locations. That would be a cutting edge product if there ever was one.
ReplyDeleteit's really quite obvious first thing that is going to happen regardless of these potential clowncil men and clowncil women is Sly is going to come out of the gate on June 24 pushing a new airport and toy train extension from Union Station to UMKC down peoples throats.
ReplyDeleteWhat do the rural rubes Staubio and Johnson think. Is Katy their girl?
ReplyDeleteWe need taxpayers-citizens to fork out $250 to $300 million for a toy train extension so Staubio and Johnson can hop bars in Westport and The Plaza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe next taxpayer subsidized monster?
ReplyDeleteCopaken Brooks will transform Broadway strip neighboring Kauffman Center
Jon Copaken, principal at Copaken Brooks and newly named chairman of the Downtown Council
ReplyDeleteDowntown Council huh?
No Sly and the council will never approve tax payer subsidies and other gifts for Copaken.
ReplyDeleteAh Jon "We cannot build apartments fast enough downtown" Copaken is sticking his tentacle into the taxpayer trough again?
ReplyDeleteHE IS A LIAR. WHEN DID GLOVER GET INVESTIGATED BY THE F.B.I.?
ReplyDeleteFast-food workers, nursing assistants and labor advocates gathered at City Hall on Friday to call on the Kansas City Council to pass a higher minimum wage in the city by July 16.
ReplyDeleteUh I think Sly is thinking like four year from now the next mayor could pass a higher minimum wage.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Sly's lies one downtown developer honcho says 2,100 hotel rooms have been built downtown since 2003.
ReplyDeleteHow is that shortage of hotel space for conventions?
Tony can find out after his afternoon snooze siesta 3:09
ReplyDeleteWhat's the spread bet on difference between posts that actually have ANYTHING AT ALL
ReplyDeleteto do with streetcars and the number of times one of the Tonys One-Trick Ponys commentators bring up the toy non sequitur in the comments?
I'll take 25.
This is one more "deet" that mainstream media won't cover due to it's blatant stupidity, banality and idiotic premise.
ReplyDeleteNiggers.
Oh she didn't ruin the Funks life at all he is off with a much better job than being Mayor of this shit hole. Funk is the smart one, the rest of us are idiots for staying around here.
ReplyDeleteBuh I digrezz . . .

Don't worry! We're getting another taxpayer subsidized project downtown shortly! You heard it here first!
ReplyDeleteOh goody goody! Will it have another picture of a red faced city manager inking the deal!
ReplyDeleteDespite the lack of media coverage on the minimum wage increase deadline workers gave Sly today the measures face heavy opposition from restaurant and hotel owners and other members of the business community.
ReplyDeleteWho ya think Sly will side with?
HAHAHA!
Yes, Katy and Phil and Funk and Gloria are the KCMO/Jackson County equivalents of the Clintons.
ReplyDeleteCowtown USA!
Oh the workers of course. Sly has them big balls! He's gonna tell all these developers, bankers, and their lawyers to get with it! That people are more important then their country club memberships and off shore tax havens!
ReplyDelete12:00, Kathy Shields is a lawyer too (she graduated from law school, not sure whether she has maintained her license).
ReplyDeleteWas she an ambulance chaser like Sly?
ReplyDeleteWill Katy put on her bicycle helmet and interrupt the my favorite television shows to warn us of tornadoes on the way to suck our income into oblivion?
ReplyDeletewonder why since phils such a hot shot lawyer why would he use kathy s parking spot in the city hall garage for free. but yet if you are handicapped they will refuse you to park in the garage. guess phil knows whose ass to kiss. but i would like to hear what he says about this/
