TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! ACTIVIST CLAY CHASTAIN THREATENS RECALL AGAINST KANSAS CITY MAYOR QUINTON LUCAS!!!
Monday message from activist Clay Chastain -- The most prolific petitioner in Kansas City's history making his case against the current City Hall leader . . . Take a look:
Clay Chastain: Announcement Of Intent To Recall Mayor Quinton Lucas For Refusing To Let The People Vote On Petition.
It does no good to find the highest hill in Kansas City and shout they won't let us vote - the media is distracted by the world. It does no good to sue the City - it has 100 attorneys to force endless litigation. A recall petition gets media attention. The City can't litigate it in court. The accused (Mayor Quinton Lucas) must answer to the voters.
The City has lorded over... Union Station petitions, light rail petitions, convention hotel petitions, streetcar petitions, airport petitions and now the "Green Transit" petition. The City is afraid to put those City-challenging petitions before voters so they claim them "unworkable." But the most Honorable Judge Holliger long ago ruled that the City "had hindered democracy" when it would not place my valid Union Station petition on the 1995 KC ballot. Holliger said the City may think a petition impractical in its details or unsound legislation, but that is for the voters to decide- not the government. For 24-years the City has ignored Holliger's ruling and said they know better than the stupid voters who sign petitions. But while the City has allowed Kansas City to degrade into a stagnating, infrastructure poor and violent war zone, do they?
The City believes a new... costly airport, over budget convention hotel, non transit-improving streetcar line, tax-abated luxury condos, new unneeded baseball stadium and more money for 2 financially hemorrhaging entertainment districts are all "workable" for the best among us. But petition proposals to modernize and expand a pathetic public transportation system to help the least among us, are not workable.
The last straw saw Mayor Lucas and the Council act in bad faith by refusing to place before voters in November a valid transit-improving petition that met all the mandatory procedural requirements outlined in the Charter.
Recalling a newly elected mayor will not be fun. It will not be popular. But someone must do something to keep this lonely torch of democracy from extinguishing if, they won't "let us vote."

Clay is up against a lot in this fight. He is a signature gathering machine but I think he'll find more people in support of Quinton than Sly.
ReplyDeleteWill he be gathering the signatures here or in Virginia?
Delete^^^ Greedo you dumb mofo. I have personally witnessed Clay stand in 100 degree weather over 10 hours in order to get his signatures. He likes talking to people, he has a way with the public that doesn't always come across in the media. If he says he's going to launch a recall, Mayor Lucas would do well to pay attention and try to avoid it.
DeleteI am sick of Clay. If he won't move back here, he should STFU.
ReplyDeleteActually, Clay has residency in KC and since the Mayor spend most of his term in Washingon D.C. it seems that you're more likely to see clay at price chopper than quinton lucas outside of a press event.
ReplyDeleteGO CLAY!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteGood for Clay.
Greedo thinks he's funny but part of the idiocy in KC. Move Greedo!
Saw Major Q's tweet where he is laying on the sidewalk playing chalk artist.
ReplyDeleteHe's really going after the serious problems.
In KCMO how can so many clowns fit into such a tiny car?
ReplyDeleteYou really can't make this stuff up!
Hahahahaha!!
Good for him a nigger can’t even run a kindergarten much less a queer nigger the only thing missing is the fag converting to islam oh that’s right the towelheads kill queers can’t do that
ReplyDelete^^OK Pop pops, If you can't play nice, you can't be on the computer anymore today. No Matlock or tapioca for you today.
ReplyDeleteDo it...Its time the KC government realizes it takes its position from the citizens and does not rule over the citizens.
ReplyDelete11:24..... Is that you Juicy ? Don't you know White folks do not speak like that. Your telling on yourself, dead give-away by the way speak. That's just Dumb.....
ReplyDeletePower To The People! Go Clay.....
ReplyDeleteGo Home Clay
ReplyDeletedont waste taxpayer money trying to keep your name relevant
Painful to say it, but Clay Chastain does have good ideas. The "free" bus idea for $8 million was highlighted with the fact the bus system now cost in excess of $100 million. What is another $8 million? $100 million per year buys a lot of Uber and Lyft.
ReplyDeleteIf Clay has to live here to file a petition, Quinton should be required to do all his cocksucking here in Kansas City, no Lawrence.
ReplyDeleteIt is time this city government faced the people! You will get my signature Clay! Nothing against Lucas, it’s just that he is the current representative of what I consider to be corruption!
ReplyDeleteNeed to cast out from city manager to the Mayor the whole lot of them. If we're going to clean house then lets clean it up proper.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the newest EXPENSIVE JOKE, the concrete GREEN BELT around the downtown area. More targets, gays, hookers, but the social justice warriors will not dare to make themselves sitting ducks. Few lmore million, what the hell. No prob!
ReplyDeleteI'll sign it. Will Clay be collecting signatures in front of Price Chopper again?
