CELEBRATE THE TOP 5 KANSAS CITY POWER PLAYERS IN 2015!!!

Girl Power And Council WOMEN Confront Mayor Sly's Reign Of Taxpayer Terror


Councilwomen Teresa Loar, Katy Shields And Heather Hall have already given the administration of Mayor Sly James a bunch of headaches and during the next year they'll continue to challenge the "win at all costs" Administration of Mayor James with good questions and more direct participation with their constituents.

Steve Vockrodt Stays Winning As The Last Journalist Standing @ 12th & Oak In KCMO


The columns Steve Vockrodt writes every week for the Pitch are a MUST READ for anybody interested in KCMO politics and finance. He's one of the most reliable sources in KC and does a great job of maintaining objectivity if not enthusiasm. Make no mistake, The Pitch is facing tough competition but they're going down fighting with more local journalism than most other local publications. 

Fortunate Son Crosby Kemper III Fights His Rich Friends For The Sake Of Kansas City


Face it, only the rich have the resources to fight the rich and CKIII seems to be the only guy who wants to stop the corporate raiding and constant taxation of KCMO's urban core. He has critics and we often like to tease this guy just to prove that this blog is an admirer but NOT affiliated with the Show-Me guys who do good work but are a bit stuffy for our bloggy good times.

In the final analysis, CKIII is one of the last remnants of old school Kansas City leadership which prize the future of our city rather than the next paycheck.

Future MO State Sen. John Rizzo Becomes His Own Man & One Of The Top Kansas City Democratic Party Leaders


Dead Tree Media had a vendetta against this local leader because of old grudges with his family and the actions of his relatives. Real talk: MO Rep. John Rizzo has been one of the strongest leaders in anti-crime efforts in KCMO and worked to foster better communications between Democrats across the state along with a NEW GENERATION of local leaders.

Like It Or Not, Frank White In The New King Of Kansas City Politics


Baseball popularity and widespread community support make Frank White the new leader of KC politics. He will be the new County Exec and not so far down the line he could challenge Congressman Cleaver if he wanted. Right now there isn't any contingent of voters who dislike the baseball legend . . . But his term has yet to begin . . .

TKC TIPSTERS STAND UP!!!

We'll MIGHT post a couple of more NYE messages tonight but LIKE IT OR NOT OUR TKC BLOG COMMUNITY LEADS THE KANSAS CITY DISCOURSE . . . Everything else is watered down and politically correct.
