Best Pissing Contest

Kansas City councilwoman Mary Williams-Neal says councilman Troy Nash didn't talk to her about his plans for redeveloping the Prospect corridor and that he certainly didn't tell her his own assistant would be getting a contract as development director. Nash says he talked to other residents in their shared 3rd District and that his assistant, Kimberly Carlos, applied for and got the job on her own. Ultimately, the Kansas City Council approved the hiring of Carlos and former Nash campaign worker Stanley Counts for the Prospect master planning. But not before the clash went public on the government TV channel as the pair traded jabs at the microphone. The entertainment value was even better knowing the history: Before being elected to his own seat, Nash once served as Williams-Neal's assistant.
