Martin's story is about "public-relations specialist Kim Carlos-" a woman who "advised" (and I can bet you not for free) Cindy Circo's 2007 election campaign to the council.
Carlos drew a $40000 salary for doing (virtually no) PR work for the convention hotel committee- which is chaired by Circo and other KC-MO business fatcats who stand to benefit financially from such a 1000-room monstrosity.
Circo- according to THE PITCH's story "distanced herself" (at finger's length?) from appointing Kim Carlos to do virtually nothing for that $40k- but can we REALLY believe that BS?
CSW has been closely following this convention hotel money-sucking black hole for about the past year.
Strapped KC-MO finances hasn't stopped nearly a million taxpayer dollars from being dumped into this worthless project that will require- even according to THE PITCH's story- "substantial public assistance" i.e. taxpayer-supported corporate welfare.

Well Groucho, who is the tax payers of Kansas City, MO going to call?
For Kansas City being in the middle of everywhere more or less in The United States, it’s a city that has gone nowhere. Really wonder if the name Comicville would be a more fitting name. Look at all the great people who were either raised here, born close to here, or were here for a time that have packed up and left town. Just think Disney World could have maybe been here. But many years ago even Walt Disney packed his bags and left and never once looked back.
Only way Kansas City will ever be something is to clean house in city hall and I mean clean it all out. Then bring is some people who have a clue how it is done and make it happen. But that won’t happen so instead I wait to see what the new edition of Comicville contains.
