Challenger to Johnston says petition process to begin 3-27-19

C​andidate for Parkville Mayor Kenneth Wilson has announced that he will formally request an independent audit of the government of Parkville to be conducted by the Office of the Missouri State Auditor. The request resembles one that led to the similar ongoing audit of nearby Clay County, he said.

Wilson says he has filed the initial audit request form and plans to collect the signatures necessary to begin an audit of issues raised by concerned Parkville citizens in recent months.

“I’m running for mayor of Parkville because I believe people deserve a choice,” Wilson said. “Regardless of the choice we make as residents in the April 2 election, it’s clear that we need a clean slate and a fresh start for our city government. An independent review by the auditor will deliver just that – peace of mind – no matter who is in office.”

Wilson is requesting that the state auditor look into concerns such as:

  • Has the city knowingly and purposefully failed to produce responsive records to public records requests?
  • Has the city been negotiating with private entities beyond the public eye and/or holding impermissibly closed public meetings?
  • Did the mayor suppress public commentary, specifically relating to developments like the one on I-435?
  • Are the elected officials using private email accounts in an attempt to evade Missouri Sunshine Laws?
  • Are the elected officials using public resources for personal gain? • Have the mayor and other elected officials been conducting themselves within the full sprit of ethics in government?

“Anyone, no matter who you plan on voting for April 2, should be able to support an independent auditor helping find answers for the people of Parkville to these straightforward and fair questions,” Wilson said. “If no issues are uncovered, we will have alleviated the growing concerns of residents. And if there are issues uncovered, we will finally be able to address them appropriately as a city and move forward together.”
