Our blog community crowd sources information to keep the conversation going regarding our political elite and their quest for more POWER. Today our blog community BRINGS FIRST NEWS OF COUNCILMAN SCOTT TAYLOR'S CAMPAIGN DONOR LIST and so many interesting early supporters.
Here's the word from a KICK-ASS TKC TIPSTER looking over public documents so we don't have to:
Mayor Of KCMO In 2019??? Are We Really There Yet?
Apparently, it's never too early to solicit contributions and try to shut out your opponents. Councilman Scott Taylor was a busy boy over the Summer, but has since slacked off into the Fall of 2016. He's now sitting on a war chest of roughly $272,000. So, does Councilman Taylor constantly have his hands outstretched for money?
There are some high-profile KC names conspicuously absent from the Taylor donor list, but we'll chalk it up to prudent money interests not eager to part with their cash this far ahead of the election. Let's take a quick look at some of the recognizable names that have coughed up so early for Team Taylor:

KCMO is a PAY FOR PLAY political town, but our local daily newspaper and television media refuse to discuss it. It's that thing called "Kansas City nice." Hmm, but I wonder why all these out-of-town, out-of-state interests would be giving money to a KCMO Councilman. They probably are just burdened by too much cash!
