TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! KANSAS CITY AVIATION INSIDERS THREATEN WORKER REVOLT IF QUINTON LUCAS ELECTED MAYOR!!!
Behind the scenes and more than any other KCMO dept., insiders tell us that the KC AVIATION DEPT. is absolutely opposed to a Quinton Lucas mayoral administration and THAT might be the most important endorsement he has received thus far.
City Hall denizens already know the score but let's make this one plain for the plebs . . .
- More than anything, Aviation leaders are afraid of who Quinton Lucas will appoint to committee and in terms of oversight.
- Quinton Lucas has been critical of the airport process and Aviation fears that he'll make drastic changes to the New KCI plan if elected.
- The Jolie Justus team has promised that a shake up will NOT happen if the Council Lady rises to the rank of Mayor. These back channel negotiations have led most City Hall workers to side with Jolie but Aviation leads the way more vehemently than anyone else.
Accordingly . . .
In a close, low-turnout election this development is certain to spark even more fear from voters who have been frustrated by slow progress on the sone what stalled facility . Here's the damage . . .
ONCE AGAIN NEW KCI MOVES TO THE FOREFRONT OF THE SILLY SEASON WITH VOTERS CONFRONTING A DECISION BETWIXT MAYOR SLY'S PLAN OR (THE PROMISE OF) GREATER TRANSPARENCY AND POSSIBLY PUSH BACK AGAINST THE SECRETIVE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT!!!
You decide . . .
Makes sense they would go with Jolie. If it's just aviation then it's not that big of a deal. However, if they turn all of the city hall employees away from Quinton then there might be trouble because this one seem like it might be very close.
ReplyDeleteHow can they lose with the candidates tag-team of Robin Hood and Santa Claus ushering in a new golden era of free stuff.
ReplyDeleteGood point, if they were smart they'd shut up. Siding with any candidate is a dumb move for city staff.
DeleteIf Quinton is going to pay more attention to the airport that's a very good thing. Jolie just seems like more of the same old Sly James style of secrecy.
ReplyDeleteNewkci = higher prices, smaller airport. Bad deal.
ReplyDeleteNew Airport is a disaster in making
ReplyDeleteThanks Sly!
Jolie's getting desperate.
ReplyDeleteWell, that is some consolation if Quentin wins.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to vote Lucas
ReplyDeletemob Rules? .......Door.......Foot......Ass
ReplyDeleteWon't cost the taxpayers a dime
ReplyDeleteI've been on the fence. As a conservative voter I just don't see enough of what I like. I vote though, and if I am going to choose between two individuals I don't normally agree with I am going to vote for the one that airport staff is afraid of. They should be held accountable and hard questions should be asked. Employees will work harder and be more ethical when they know they are being watched. My vote is for the guy who they don't want to work for.
ReplyDeleteJust for the record, did he complain about that stupid looking picture of him with the q on it! Hahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThis helps explain why SLie penned his screed to bully people into donating money to JoLie's campaign. SLie does not want Lucas disrupting his behind the scenes airport deal. Money bet is SLie will still be calling the airport shots if JoLie is elected.
ReplyDeleteA good reason to vote for Lucas. The Aviation Department is incompetent, as evidenced by never calling foul to the corrupt River Club NO BID deal!!
ReplyDeleteFirst, the abortion endorsement for JJ now this, Lucas wins again. #checkmatetimestwo

ReplyDeleteYou make a good, although desperate, point about accountability, but there's NO serious oversight or accountability for ANY departments by the electeds in what passes for municipal government in KCMO.
First, you actually have to spend some time and work to learn about city functions to be able to ask intelligent well-informed questions. No one on the council has ever shown the slightest interest in the boring basic services real cities provide their residents.
Then you have to have the guts to set performance standards, demand results, and hold people to account. No chance electeds who are more concerned about global warming, homophobia, renaming streets, and blaming state legislatures are going to do any of that.
And, of course, the most important element of "public service", getting re-elected or even "moving up" in the political food chain.
It never changes.
Only negroes and other losers will vote for Quinton.
ReplyDelete^^^^^Thanks for checking in, Jolie.
ReplyDelete4:44 that’s Lucas trying to play the race card, it’s coming you’ll see.
ReplyDelete2:24 For the sad win, in that the lesser of two evils is the only choice.
ReplyDeleteInside baseball but I'll bite.
ReplyDeleteI thik we pay too much attention to "insiders" in KC. There need to be more concern for how residents and hometowners feel. Part of moving past special interests is not caring if they get their feelings hurt when they lose.
This makes me want to vote for Jolie even moreso. KC voted for the airport, we need to get it done.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see they started tearing down Terminal A. The project is just getting started, don't need Quinton to bring it to a halt.
ReplyDelete- Joe Six Pack KC
^^ Your in the construction business?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, so are a lot of people. This project is going to create tons of jobs and opportunities. Why vote for Quinton and bring it to a halt? Jolie is right, keep it going.
ReplyDelete- KC Joe.
Yup. My kids and the little lady are depending on this things. Gotta put food on the table.
ReplyDeleteN' don't forget the cold beer.
ReplyDelete^^ Learn to Code Joe
ReplyDeleteGot a keep the momentum going. It's the momentum.
ReplyDeleteAirport will just be another piece of cheaply built crap. Like all new construction around here.
ReplyDeleteJust saw Jolie's new ad and got the call from her "survey." That woman is desperate and vicious.
ReplyDeletegood excuse to replace them all
ReplyDeleteHow many of those jobs are actually going to KCMO residents? I see a lot of JoCo plates in the contractors’ lot at KCI.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jolie has taken this election to a negative smear campaign. Shame on her and her team. Dumb move. I had expected more from you her! Quinton has my vote.
