THE KANSAS CITY GO BOND CAMPAIGN RUN OUT OF PHILLY REVEALS LOCAL POLITICOS STILL DESPERATELY MISS THE LEADERSHIP OF CONSULTANT PAT GRAY!!!
Following the tragic passing of the political titan in 2015, City Hall campaigns are more cold and technical with voter turnout continuing to plummet.
And so, here's the first glimpse of Kansas City sinking into more debt . . .
First campaign update for GO Bond Issues
Greetings Council Members,
Some of you asked if you would be provided a weekly campaign update as you did each week for the E Tax. Here is the first one.
You see Mark Nevins of Dover Group on this email list. Mark is the overall campaign coordinator. Even though Mark lives in Philly he is very familiar with Kansas City as he worked on both of the Mayor's campaigns, several local issue campaigns plus was part of the team that elected Dennis Moore to Congress in 1998. As you know Larry Jacob was the lead Dover Group person in KC before taking a job at the Kauffman Foundation
We have 70 days until April 4. So we need to work fast and smart.
We feel good about our chances of passing all three questions. As you already know from the Mayor, our polling shows that, if the election were held today, all three ballot issues have the support they need to pass. However, needing 57% it is close enough that we can't take anything for granted on any question. We need and will run an aggressive campaign and, of course, that means raising the campaign money to do that.
The campaign started prior to final passage of the overall program last Thursday. See attach a generic campaign hand out that is being used by our field team which has been going door to door for the last few weeks. Citizen response has been very good. Now new materials will be printed reflecting the complete package you passed last week.
Our first need from all of you is providing the campaign any and all community meetings where a campaign representative can make a presentation. We will either back you up, if you are speaking, or we will provide a speaker. Our goal is 30 speaking opportunities.
And almost needless to say, we have to raise campaign funds. Each of you may know a possible donor who is not the usual suspect. Please pass on the contact information and how much you believe they might contribute.
Again, we will win and provide this Manager, Mayor, and Council the bond funds to start tackling the infrastructure needs of our city.
Our campaign headquarters is the same as the E Tax campaign----3100 Gilliham Plaza.
The campaign phone number is 816 372 5269. But for all of you please call me on my personal cell phone.
Steve Glorioso
