And you thought this was a battle of Finn vs Surma? Nope. Check out the code words in the Surma campaign material. "honest representation" and "compliance with legal requirements". You might wonder what that is all about? Political payback or worse from Mr Stevenson for the many misdeeds of Ms Finn, beginning with his election loss to her in 2008. He was attempting to join his sister who was already the other East Ward alderman at that time. Add the Planning Commission vote on his property (Finn voted NO) there is no wonder he is gunning for revenge in the form of a surrogate (Ms Surma) Had she not used all the veiled language aimed at Finn I might have bought the fact she was just an interested citizen wanting to contribute to community. The most vocal critic of Finn/Clark has been Stevenson's brother in law, who just happens to live across the Park from Surma. Add the additional sin by Ms Finn of not favoring golf carts on city streets, avidly pursued by the Whites. Delightful? Do not cross the Stevenson cabal, it can get ugly. Maybe these are the "new and fresh" ideas Ms Surma mentioned she would bring to the Board.
On a positive note, Ms Finn has been a tireless worker on your behalf, both at the City and WLIC. This has been going on for a long time, well before my move to WL in 1999. There would be no 4th of July Fireworks without her. You would still be dragging your recycling to a center somewhere instead of the curbside recycling she championed to bring to the City. She has attended the New Officials seminar in Jeff City...unlike others who chose not to take the time. Is Tanya Dedicated? Is she Dependable (she was quite sick last BOA meeting but attended anyway)? Devoted? My response is without a doubt. I would highly recommend voting for the re-election of Tanya Finn. Sorry, a vote for Ms Surma is a vote for Stevenson and he is already on the Board. Until next election that is enough.

Melinda and I wish you all at Happy Easter.
Best,
Brian Stevenson
I see Little Boy Blue wishes us a Happy Easter....how nice.
Think long and hard if you really want Brian and his elk in total control of the City. Vote for Finn, Clark, and York.
Let me have men about me that are fat. Yon Moratz has a lean and hungry look. (with apologies to William Shakespeare).
Let's take a look at some of Mike's comments - all light on fact, yet very heavy on innuendo. The Stevenson's have a number of family members living around the lake. Does this make them bad people? The Coleman, Grasis and Bossert families also have family members residing here - does that make them a Cabal? Yes - the White's live across the park from the Surma's. Does that mean anything? More innuendo. Yes - the White's were involved in submitting a golf cart proposal which the BOA ultimately tabled. Isn't that what a democracy is about? I am not aware of any dissent over this by the White's. Yet more of Moratz innuendo.
Mike posted that Finn voted no on the Planning Commission. Actually, the PC voted yes (10 - 0) on Stevenson's replat. Mike said that no laws were broken. Really? From Webster - "an ordinance is a law or regulation made by a city or town government". Both Finn and Clark broke an ordinance, cynically and deliberately. Ergo, they broke the law and had to scurry to rescind and subsequently approve what was a legal proposal. Moritz has queried the ability of a resident to vote. What does that matter? Aren't our elected officials supposed to represent ALL of the residents? Still more innuendo.
Voters - beware of Moratz and his lack of facts.
LBB (Tony or Brian, one in the same), the families you mentioned didn't stoop to the Stevenson level to get elected to get want they wanted rammed through the city government while using taxpayer resources for the same. Big, big difference.

White is not a registered voter in Platte County so quit your charade of not voting for Finn Tony you are a fraud.
