A committee to support embattled Carthage City Council member Tiffany Cossey in her recall election raised $2,000 in one day, according to a report filed Sunday with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
Carthage for Cossey was created September 25, according to the Ethics Commission documents with the $2,000 being contributed September 30, the last day of the filing period.
Carthage Citizens United, which has not filed its quarterly report at this writing (the deadline is Tuesday), contributed $1,000 to Cossey.
The other contributions came from attorney Bill Lasley and George Goff, Carthage Citizens United treasurer, with each contributing $500.
The committee did not spend any money during the filing period.
The next report is due eight days before the election.
Much to the chagrin from those consumed with hate and their feeble attempts at a simple smear campaign against Mrs. Cossey, the support she has is unwavering. Mrs. Cossey continuing to stand strong in the face of the storm is nothing short of phenomenal and stating she should be commended is a colossal understatement.
ReplyDeleteAre you serious? Along with breaking her signed contract stating in lieu of being censured, she would change her behavior, which she hasn’t, she’s broken ordinances and violated the sunshine law multiple times in council meetings and just last week she admitted to stealing campaign signs, which is illegal. Charges have been filed and she will be held accountable. She thinks she is untouchable. Her days of being in the spotlight are coming to an end. Then Chuck Bryant will no longer require her services.

DeleteIt's stunning what the clown caucus has been up to.
All that missing golf money didn't steal itself!
Chuck Bryant’s reign of complete control over Carthage comes to an end with Cossey gone! He has never done anything positive for this community and has his employees in constant fear for their livelihood. It’s disgusting.
DeleteGood riddance to both!
I pray very soon there is significant praise for the work Kirk Friesen and Bill Sheerer did to take down this dictatorship! How about a key to the city?!?!? Seriously, who in their right mind can disagree with the quality of character of Kirk Friesen and Bill Sheerer versus the crooked regime of Tiffany Cossey and Chuck Bryant along with Bill Putnam, Bill Lasley, and Mark Peterson. Thank god Carthage has woken up and is ready to make this right!
DeleteSure, getting $1K from the guys who gave $1K to CCU to give to her really shows how loved she is
DeleteSee, here's possibly the best part, and it brings me great joy to admonish the Huey, Dewey, and Louie tandem of KF, KH, & BS, what makes you so sure that even if Cossey gets recalled, that she goes away? Sort of like Obi-Wan when he got struck down by Darth. You guys are great.
DeleteLasley is a low life. Not surprised.
DeleteLasley is a stand up guy, known him since I was a kid
DeleteIf Cossey gets recalled, about the only thing she could do is try and build an organic following on Facebook.
DeleteProblem is she is really unlikeable and trafficks in opinions and whispers that can never be backed with hard evidence.
She won’t be able to seek elected office in Carthage, she probably won’t be recognized in public comment, and shouldn’t be recognized until a significant amount of time passes.
Carthage will probably have to make ordinances or even charter amendments about the rights of recalled officials going forward to make sure they don’t hang around like a cancer you can’t quite kill.
When people start distancing themselves from her, her anger will shift from the people who embarrassed her during her council days, to the people who made promises that they never intended to keep.
Kirk, Kirk, Kirk. More opinion and propaganda. Keep spewing it and maybe you'll even start to believe it. Truth is plenty of people do like her. You're probably one of those who thinks Trump had mean Tweets too. She has a law degree among others and you have a real estate business your parents gave you. Go back to sleep.
DeleteClearly the peanut gallery of Kirk et. al. are misogynistic. Astounding how they focus on the allegations of one and not the other. Cossey has been blunt at times, but has never misappropriated funds or broadcast slanderous information like the mayor. How or why does this escape them?
Delete5:33 aka Paul Wilson. Go back down the hole from which you came. You and ol’ Lujene.
DeleteShe was the storm, she didn’t stand in front of it. It was all her stirring the pot.
DeleteThat’s a lot of excitement (above) over ultimately one party giving her money to cover her signs, freeing her up to then pay her attorney fees. She likely complained to her attorney , Bill Lasley, in one of their daily talks. He’s a CCU donor and the attorney representing the CCU as they’re also being sued. So he tells Pat (George) Goff, (former CWEP board member, btw, and) his close friend who’s also the Treasurer of CCU they ought to cover her yard signs and media expenses. Basically one money grab to cover her expenses in fighting against the over 500 citizens who are rightfully trying to recall her. And again, she needs money to pay Lasley as he’s her own attorney in all this, too. It’s basically borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, though I hate to even use the names for that analogy for these people. Just transferring elite funds around to make sure everyone’s covered.
ReplyDeleteThe best way to win stupid prizes is to play stupid games!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, the elite controlling this community. Thank you to Kirk Friesen for calling these crooks on the carpet!
ReplyDeleteThere are no elites, not one person is any better than another
DeleteBahahaha - tell that to Chuck Bryant, Jack Crusa, Bill Putnam. Shall I go on?
DeleteJack Cruza? His $3M in shares from L&P is dwindling. The EPS had dropped significantly because of horrible decisions of people just like him. Cossey is a terrible person as is Lasley.
DeleteJack Crusa definitely thinks he’s important.
DeleteThe character and integrity of Bill Sheerer and Kirk Friesen are above reproach. Everyone in Carthage knows they are pillars of the community and deserve “keys to the city” for the uncovering of this crooked enterprise made up of Bryant, Cossey, Putnam, Lasley, and Peterson. Carthage citizens have had enough of the controlling crowd of these and Lambeth, Crusa, and Patrick Scott. A new generation of leaders in Friesen and Hurlburt coupled with amazing city employees like Bill Smith, Abi Almandinger, and Micheal Miller will restore faith in leadership and integrity. Congratulations Carthage, stay the course, you are almost there!
ReplyDeleteBahahahahahahahaha! I LOL'd for real with that one! Hey Keith, everybody likes a drink, buuuut nobody likes a drunk. That had to be you. And Kirk? A pillar??? Had a growth spurt but still has little man syndrome, and tries to intimidate women and the aging. And Sheerrerer...drives around in a golf cart with bullhorn. "The loudest one in the room is the weakest one inthe room."
DeleteIt truly is comical how those again Cossey either have to try to entrap or bait her into something that can be spun out of context, or completely fabricate a false narrative altogether. Same goes for Mr. Bryant as well. He has done countless things for the city of Carthage as well as received the highest of accolades available in the industry. The lies being spewed about both have reached an entire new level of diabolical insanity. Too bad the charter prevents him from being a city manager too. Think of the windfall Carthage would have if Chuck could oversee the City as well as CWEP. The production and unity would be unprecedented.
ReplyDeleteChuck pays for those awards. Ask just about any employee and they’ll say they hate him. He has everyone in his back pocket. That’s how he gets away with everything. Hopefully Peterson will rat him out in a plea deal.
Delete12:30 I am going to assume this is satire?
DeleteIf everyone hates him, why is employee turnover nearly zero? Sounds like sour grapes as you can't get on there.
DeleteI’d prefer not to work for someone I’d be required to sleep with. Ewww.
DeleteThere is no affair. Sad that you have to make something up about because you can't find anything. Many verses out there about lies, but would like to share this one.
DeleteRevelation 21:8: "The cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars— these are the ones who will find themselves “in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Quoting Revelation to point out untruths? Proverbs would have been better. Half the town knows about Chuck’s affairs, including his current one. Get caught up.
DeleteRev because the end is nigh for you and the legion. God Bless.
DeleteChuck and scripture in the same sentence. Two things that don’t go together. Keep supporting your adulterous friend. People left Water & Electric because of the immoral culture he created after Bob Williams retired. There have been people subpoenaed. Talk about a glorious awakening.
DeleteMatthew 7:1, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged". For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you".
DeleteHopefully, the Cick Cossey to the Curb campaign comes to a successful conclusion next month. I, for one, am looking forward to getting back to sensible government that moves the city forward and weeds out corruption at the same time. Like was stated previously, that money didn't steal itself.
