TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY INSIDERS CONTEND: MAYOR SLY AND CITY MANAGER TROY SCHULTE DOUBLE CROSSED JACKSON COUNTY EXEC FRANK WHITE AMID JAIL RAPE CRISIS!!!
An interesting bit of Kansas City Insider perspective on the political component of the Jackson County female inmate rape and sex assault story . . .
Sly Schools Frank . . .
Something that went immensely underreported and downplayed in the MSM was that the City of Kansas City pulled ALL of its female inmates out of the county jail because they DIDN"T BELIEVE THE COUNTY COULD KEEP THEM SAFE any longer!!
Just let that sink in for a moment.
So while Sly was publicly playing nice with Frank via joint happy talk press releases designed to duck their responsibility and ownership of this disaster, the City's actions were speaking MUCH louder than those hollow words as Troy Schulte moved ALL of their female inmates to Platte County.
The delicious insider backstory to this power move by Sly and the City is that Sly was allowed to have it both ways and he flat out politically schooled the no-longer-can-claim-he's-new County Exec. He was able to publicly play nice, but privately get Schulte to stab White deep in the back and twist the knife with the City's public shaming of the County's new and historic heights of incompetence under his leadership. Insiders know that the Sly James Administration DOES NOT LIKE Frank at all; They see him as a political rival; and, Team Sly have simply delighted in this new and major misstep for White. Even worse for Frank is that NOBODY at the County has figured out that the Sly James Administration has a highly placed mole on his staff. Frank's star is falling quicker then anyone anticipated.

You decide . . .
It's really too bad that Jackson County and KCMO can't elect people that are more interested in local government, their residents, their actual responsibilities, and results than they are in "political advantage", but that seems to be way too much to ask.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder other metro cities and counties want nothing to do with these carnivals and their incompetent celebrity wannabe clowns.
Really too bad for success of the entire metro.
Just endless embarrassment.
Mark my words, Frank White is in the only job I know of that will make him unpopular. Fast. The county is a fucking cesspool of corruption and conflicts. Frank is not capable of running an organization like that.
ReplyDeleteFrank has no business being the Exec. What a fool.
ReplyDeleteWho hasnt the Mayor and Troy Schulte double-crossed? That's the better question.
ReplyDeleteDid they take all the prisoners who "self identify" as female.
ReplyDeleteSchulte pulled out all the female prisoners because he did not want to face potential lawsuits against the City if he did not.
ReplyDeleteIt really is just that simple.
Sorta like mortgage fraud...it really is that simple!!!
DeletePhil, if he just wanted to pull them out for liability reasons then he didn't need to say that the county "could no longer keep them safe." Statements like that enhance, not diminish, any potential liability of the city and the county. This was a hatchet job.
ReplyDeletebecause only the female population can be raped by roving gangs of prisoners inside the jail?
ReplyDeleteMany KC politicians are basically shortsighted, utterly useless, oxygen-wasting human forms of pollution.
ReplyDeletePlain and simple, anyone having anything to do with the holding of any inmates in Jackson County is going to be running around trying to stab one another in the back over these alleged rapes. Yes I say alleged since so far nobody has been charged with a crime and not to sure at this point who is even in charge that could do so. I truly think the state needs to step in here and appoint or request a Federal lead investigation and for once make some damn heads roll around here.
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone in charge of a political office in Jackson County,whose office is a part of dealing with criminal infractions not be held responsible for the shape, conditions and alleged events happening at the jail in question. If the conditions are as bad as some are pointing out, then Mayor Sly all the way to Frank White, with many staff members in between, are all guilty of inhumane conditions of the county jail.
So yes, the back stabbing has only just begun.
When his son was give a 85k no bid job he was bought. Mr White needs someone to give him some good advice about what is going on or he will be slaughtered by the very people who say they are his friends
ReplyDeleteWhoever told Frank to run and hide instead of stepin up and leading ought to be among the fired. How can he not face the media or county legislature?
