Voters WILL defeat corrupt NewKCI. How Bartle Hall passed by 18 votes thanks to Bernice and the Good Old Girls

This just in, on Ch. 41 news: 
Edgemoor donated $60,000 toward the YES campaign, which has raised $1 million.

They do not have a signed contract with the city.

So is this a case of extortion by the campaign committee? (I am implying that it is!--one more use to go...)

This whole campaign stinks. I love that the YES people, Sly and the council and labor and Freedom, and the contractor are so uncertain about the virtue of their proposal that they are throwing $1.6 million bucks (this just in as of 9:30 am 10/27/17 per Mark Nevins the yes vote campaign chairman).

The polls must be showing it is losing or close to losing.

When you get your nightly polling phone calls, push whatever numbers on your phone you must to IMPLY that you are on board with this pig of a proposal. Then in the privacy of the voting booth, vote NO.

The pollsters will INFER that you are for it. Ha!

You are so close to defeating this. Mike White won his county commission seat by one vote. We call him Mandate Mike.

And Bartle Hall passed by 18 votes, but those were kinda stolen votes. Back in the day, they had real machines with wheels. Sometimes reading the numbers on the wheels was in question. So my former business partner, politico Jerry Jette, (who taught Pat Gray EVERY trick in the book) was dispatched by Mayor Wheeler to go to the election board while the election staff peered at the numbers stuck halfway between a higher and a lower number.

Jette knew EXACTLY how many votes he needed. Fourteen. And gave himself a cushion of four more. He flirted with the old gals in the Election Board office, "Hi Bernice--how's your son George doing? I hope that summer job we got for him helped you out! He hugged, he cajoled, and he counted. All the while, Bernice and Agnes and Carmella and the Good Old Girls from Redemtorist Parish and St. Elizabeths were deciding--is that a 7 or a 6? 

"Jerry, I think...hmmmm...(dramatic pause and a wink) I'm gonna say it's a 7!"
"Good girl, Bernice!"

Of course it was completely arbitrary. Like hanging chad in Florida. No money changed hands. It was all flattery and comraderie and friendship and years and years spent at neighborhood parishes and St. Patrick's Day events and St. Joseph's tables, etc.

The minute Jette scored 18 more votes, he said, "Gotta meet the Mayor at Italian Gardens for lunch!" Hugs all around. 

And that is how the city of KCMO won that election to build Bartle Hall on a cold December day.

So what's a little white lie to a phone surveyor or someone knocking on your door. 
Vote NO and force the city to come back with a much BETTER PLAN. They are IMPLYING they will just give up for the next 50 years. That's bullshit. 

Vote No for something better.
