Jackson County Exec Frank White Walks Out Of Property Tax Presser

I know you d-bags aren't gonna believe me but TKC totes saw this happen by mere coincidence. 

The new JaxCo outpost is within walking distance and I didn't know they were having a meetup yesterday morning . . . I was walking back from getting an iced coffee and I noticed a bunch of cameras gathered as the Exec strolled back into the building with all of the newsies, bureaucrats and politicos just kinda staring at him with a look of disbelief . . . And then, they slowly returned to their work. It was weird.

“Due to a meeting, I can’t stay for the entire update this morning,” he said. “But it was a priority for me to be here even for the short time that I’ll be here just to speak to you and, most importantly, show my ongoing support for Gail and her staff.”
