One week left to find out if Mayor Nickolas Guccione's group of groans (Mike Carter and Bryan Spencer, Michael Hays, Cheryl Kross, and John Luby) will overthrow two very engaged aldermen with Guccione's cast of clowns; Robert Hussey and Linda Wright. I know about Hussey's unethical background especially since being fired by the city government of Dardiene Prairie, but recently I got a comment from a Wright fan who tells of her "extraordinary accomplishments," so I thought I'd take a moment to see what she has to say for herself.
First, I know that she has no declaration; "Paid for by" on her website—campaign ethics violation number one. Then I received her campaign flier in the mail this weekend so I had to go dig it out of the trash to check out her "extraordinary accomplishments." Low-and-behold there was no "Paid for by" declaration on it either—campaign ethics violation number two. Some of you may not think this is a big deal but Guccione sent violations to the Missouri Ethics Commission against his opponents in every election he ever ran in; if our own brilliant mayor thinks it's a big deal, it must be a big deal. From this I must deduce that Linda Wright is in the category; unethical.
Looking at Wright's flier, the first thing I notice is the smiling face of King Nickolas (unquestionably, the most unethical politician to ever be elected in Wentzville) standing closer to Wright than any coffee filters I ever tried to separate, it looked like a wedding photo without the dress. Turning the card over, there I see Republican (RINO) Representative, Bryan Spencer's smiling face, I don't think there's ever been a Missouri state Representative publicly endorsing an alderman candidate in Wentzville history, it makes me wonder why? The answer is simple; Wright in unelectable, especially against a powerhouse alderman the likes of Rick Stokes. She must be a great mind with "extraordinary accomplishments," to garner the support (with pictures) of a morally questionable mayor and a RINO State Representative who spends more time meddling in Wentzville politics than representing his district in Jefferson City.
As with any campaign that Guccione is involved in (which is all of them), there's always unethical, or shady things going on. Sneaky as he is, he knows that an ethics violation cannot be filed 15 days before an election. So now we see two ethics violations from his candidate; Wright, which he knows will not get a black mark until after the election. He's probably stupid enough to think he can pardon her anyway. Now what's going on with his other candidate; Robert Hussey? It appears that one of Forrest Gossett's mailings has gone undelivered, and missing, tampering with the mail is a Federal Offense. I'm not suggesting that Guccione is that stupid, but someone is, because a second mailing in two weeks has been put on the missing list. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there isn't a Postal investigation underway to see if there isn't a mail tampering charge waiting for someone! If they find that the coincidence points the finger, the election between Hussey and Gossett could be contested and somebody might get a healthy fine or imprisonment.

Still wondering why such an array of high-power support, I read on. Next to Spencer's image is a list of other endorsements, notably; Michael Hays and John Luby both Ward 3 Aldermen. Luby was one of the original yes-men to Bill Schuette, and member of the infamous Lurchettes. It amazed me how little he did as my ward representative, but it was his mission to go along to get along. Luby's lack of engaging at meetings is only exceeded by my current representative, Michael Hays, and his do-absolutely-nothing-approach method of leadership. So let me recap; Guccione the porn-king mayor, Spencer, the meddling Missouri State Representative, and two useless aldermen who's greatest accomplishments were to keep the snoring down so as not to wake the mayor are supporting Linda Wright, the retread that lost in last year's election to the most useless alderman EVER, Michael Hays.
Being unimpressed by Wright's inferior list of supporters I had to look deeper into the flier. Unfortunately, the closest thing to an "extraordinary accomplishment" on the flier was the list of losers she has gathered to support her. There was nothing saying what she's done, or wants to do, or change, just endorsements. I hope Ward 3 residents see what's going on here, she has no good reason to run for office other than to be another in the list of stooges Guccione has already; Hays and Cheryl Kross—who also have no good reason to be on the board of aldermen.
This is about power, Guccione needs another yes-man in order to take control of the legislative branch of Wentzville government and Wright and Hussey are his choices to take over. Guccione hates the logical good-government actions of Forrest Gossett and Rick Stokes, and he hates them personally. If he succeeds in what he wants, Wentzville will suffer. Only one person will have fun from having Hussey and/or Wright elected, and that one is; The Wentzvillian. The mayor and board of aldermen will be an even more target-rich environment than it is today.
At one time, I told Spencer that The Wentzvillian does not cover state government because we have too many problems in Wentzville. He approached me prior to his election because I had posted something about his qualifications that he found detrimental to his coming election and wanted to set me straight. I didn't want to talk to him then, and even less today, in order to get him away from me, I lied to him. I hate lying, and feel guilty that I had to do it to get rid of him. So, to set the record straight: Mr. Spencer I told you that I would vote for you then: I'm sorry but that was a lie! I didn't then, and will never in the future—Oh, and I'd appreciate it if you would stay out of Wentzville politics and do the job you were elected to do by those in your unfortunate district! I have a request of you: If you can, do you think you can get your bud, Guccione, a job as a State Representative and get him out of Wentzville too? Wentzville would appreciate it!

I think you are correct, Wright and Hussey will just be another do-dad on Nicky Boy's charm bracelet. Spencer should be ashamed and concerned about being re-elected since he's hanging around some real shady people. I know I ain't voting for that loser again, or Nicky the Slug either!
ReplyDeleteIt aint hard to see what's going on with our election next week. I hope Gossett and Stokes both get re-elected and they make Nicky the Slime's next two years miserable.
Well written. I only wish more people would read, The Wentzvillian. It is sad that more people have not spoken up and challenged our Mayor. Mr. Stokes has his own faults, but at least he is transparent. The Guccione Squad is really shocking. Do they hold secret meetings to discuss how to break the law...correction slightly bend it? My only question is WHY? They are not moving on to state level or national politics with those huge mistakes. WHY cause local citizens to endure such "politics." No wonder why people hate politicians. Vote them out! If Guccione had anything to do with the interference of the delivery of Gossett's mailing, well that is impeachable!
ReplyDeleteGuccione has a highly organized clandestine group of bitter people holding secret meetings to take control of our city government. They include; Mike Carter, failed municipal judge; Linda Wright, failed candidate; Cheryl Kross, bitter alderman; Michael Hays; failing alderman; Robert Hussey, failed candidate, and Bryan Spencer, co-conspirator for no good reason.
DeleteFunny, how the Mayor keeps spouting out that Rick Stokes is a Realtor...HELLOOOOO so is Robert Hussey.Favors from special interest groups? Hussey is being backed by special interest groups..BUT they only tell one side of the story....Vote smart for the guys who are informed and in office presently. You will be glad you did.
ReplyDeleteaccording to polls i've seen, stokes and gossett are high in job approval, why is a mayor and a state rep. pushing so hard to get unquallified people elected to replace proven effective leaders?
ReplyDeleteThey push so hard to get unqualified people elected because they are then not challenged about their own personal incompetence. Now do you understand why they hate Gossett and Stokes?
DeleteThis is a bad situation! Nick Guccione is supposed to lead our city responsibly, yet everything he does seems to be just the opposit.
ReplyDeleteBryan Spencer had baggage when he was elected to the Missouri House but the voters seem apathetic and put him in office anyway. Now he's supposed to be a Republican and he's supporting Obama supporting candidate, Linda Wright, and Robert Hussey the liberal Guccione (Socialist) supporter. Spencer needs to be reminded of his duplicitis politics when he comes up for re election.
Cheryl Kross has gone off her rocker to think Guccione won't push as hard against her in 2015 as he is with Stokes and Gossett. Nobody knows who she is anymore but one thing is sure; if she keeps going like she is, we'll see someone else sitting in her ward 1 seat next year, probably one of tricky Nick's gang.
As for Guccione, this city really screwed up when they put that functionaly-illiterate, porn-inspired, Liberal-Socialist in office. I guess you get what you ask for.
Come the 2016 Mayoral election there chould be 5 or more viable candidates running against Mayor Tricky Nicky. They are all tired of the G's antics. Come close to election time they will suddenly shift all their resources to the one erstwhile candidate who will beat him resoundingly with city behind that one good man.
DeleteALL THE KINGS HORSES AND ALL THE KING G"s MEN WON'T BE ABLE TO SAVE "NICK THE HUMPTY DUMPTY" FROM BREAKING IN PIECES.
When you go to the polls next Tuesday, April 8th, remember all of the messed up things he's done. Remember that during his two years in office Wentzville lost every high-level employee except one. Remember the words of Robert Bartalata, City Administrater, at the last board of Aldermen meeting; "Wentzville is losing one city employee per week." A startling indictment of Guccione's leadership abilities.
ReplyDeleteRemember when you go to the polls next week; a vote for Gossett and Stokes is a vote for the city employees and Wentzville as a whole. Save our city from a pathetic and unqualified mayor and from electing two more just like him: Hussey and Wright. VOTE GOSSETT and STOKES!
Ms. Wright, elected or not, had better get her checkbook ready, there are a number of ethics violations awaiting her after April 8th. The Missouri Ethics Commission have already received a few and will receive several more. Maybe she can get Gooch or the Spencer the RINO to pay them for her.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, the price of conspiring with, and selling your soul (and reputation) to King Nickolas Guccione. Enjoy the ride!

neither of the mayor's candidates; hussey and wright have any accomplishments or experience, that's why they need to trash their opponents. this is right in nick's wheelhouse and that's their only chance to win. lousy politics for lousy, desperate people. self respecting citizens are deceived and suffer the consequences after it's too late.
ReplyDeletewe know the credits and outstanding public records of rick stokes and forrest gossett, for that reason there's no intelligent reason to vote for nick's tricks. being a concerned ward 1 citizen voter, my vote will be for forrest gossett, and next year, for anyone running against my has-been traitor-alderman; cheryl kross. you should be ashamed of the things you've been doing cheryl.
