ROBBIE MAKINEN KAPUT @ KCATA!!!

For the record and just so nobody misunderstands . . . 

Robbie was NEVER qualified for this job and it was ALWAYS sketchy that his career advancement came with a glowing endorsement from the historically corrupt former Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders — A politico who local leaders never like to mention after the disgraced elected official ended his career in the federal pen.

Check today's postscript . .

"Robbie Makinen, who's led the agency since 2016, reportedly resisted a "money grab" by top Kansas City officials who sought millions in federal pandemic recovery funds awarded to the KCATA in order to pay for new streetlights."

The cover story . . .

Mayor Q supposedly wanted to raid funds and Robbie spoke out against it . . .

The reality . . .

AS WE NOTED EARLIER TODAY . . . LOCAL POLITICAL LEADERSHIP HAS DEGRADED KANSAS CITY TRANSIT OVER THE COURSE OF THE PANDEMIC WITH FREEBIE RIDES AND OTHER HALF-BAKED PROGRESSIVE SCHEMES!!!
