Mayor Q Police Funding Lawsuit Double Talk ALMOST Explained

Our conservative pals perform an EXCELLENT public service by attempting to unpack Mayor Q's legal strategy.

Here at TKC we were pre-med and busy studying the anatomy of city college hotties so we often need help with legal fine points.

We only know enough to realize that mayor has a HORRIFIC record on his legal arguments.

OVERTURNING ELECTIONS IS A BAD LOOK FOR ANY POLITICO!!!

Still, we appreciate this hot take on one of the finer points of the ongoing argument . . .

The mayor argues in his personal lawsuit that state officials erred by telling voters the 25% threshold for police funding wouldn’t result in any new costs. Lucas claims the city had told state officials it would cost $38.7 million, though the law doesn’t actually call for any new taxes or revenues.

One of those state officials Lucas’s lawsuit decries for not listening to the city is then-auditor Nicole Galloway – a Democrat whom Lucas enthusiastically endorsed for governor in 2020 precisely for her independent nature.

“She’s not listening to directions from Washington,” Lucas said at the time. “She’s not listening

to directions from anywhere else, and she’s not someone who will be biased or persuaded by a politician anywhere else who’s saying you need to do something that’s different from that which is in the best interest of Missourians.”

Now Lucas’s lawsuit complains that Galloway’s fiscal advisory to voters on the amendment last November didn’t bend to his will.

KC mayor claims former state auditor ignored city's concerns over police funding amendment - but once praised her for such independence

Lucas is bizarrely suing the state as a private citizen - somehow using city funds - to overturn a state law and constitutional amendment setting a higher level of police funding in Kansas City. The law requires Kansas City to allocate at least 25% of its general fund revenues to police.
