Cacchione Kickoff

Reed having announced he's running for Pres of the Board, Patrick Cacchione is now a declared candidate for alderman. Look for his campaign kickoff to be on November 15 at the SqWires Annex. More details coming.

No one cares about Cacchione and his campaign. No one except for other surreptitious Republicans residing in the city.

Cacchione has more political experience, more development experience, more 6th Ward experience, more business experience, more professional experience, more experience to hit the ground running, and is an overall better candidate for Alderman of the 6th Ward.

Cacchione will not need advice on how to get things done, by people that don't live in the 6th Ward. Cacchione is not a Republican, but the Republicans do control the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union. Guess who has a close connection to the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union! The best thing to do, is to leave that argument alone!

Yeah, the Republicans do control that union.

Are you trying to say that the close connection that you are referring to involves Kacie Triplett?

Does she have a connection to that union? If so who, because you wouldn't want a union controlling a ward.

When one union controls a ward, that may not create fair competition for everybody. Remember the bill that was introduced by the Board of Alderman, that tried to force all services that were performed with any City funds to be performed by a union company. That bill was defeated and the people of St. Louis didn't want it.

Tell us the connection to a union that we need to watch out for!!!!

What political experience does Cacchione have? Besides being a professional lobbyist and running for several elected positions and NEVER being elected? This is a guy who has waited in the wings to run for office, but has never been successful. He has given money to Republicans, pissed off people continuously in the 6th ward, ran a divisive campaign for alderman in 1999. The list goes on and on. Cacchione is going to lose and will retreat back to his mansion in Compton Heights with his tail tucked between his legs.

"The Big Secret" is a bunch of baloney. Nice set-up between the "Let's See" post and "The Big Secret". I wouldn't be surpised if they are the same poster.
It isn't a "big secret" that Kacie Triplett's father, BIG JOHN is heavily involved with the Plumber's and Pipefitters. As far as a union controlling a ward, that is ridiculous. Does the 6th ward want a Republican in sheep's clothing controlling the ward, or do they want someone who is outspoken advocate for the people in the 6th Ward??? It ain't a secret that Kacie Triplett is going to wipe butt in that ward and Cacchione and his cronies are running scared.

"...is going to wipe butt..." Is that a good thing? "Kick butt," I can understand, but "wipe butt" doesn't sound like a good thing.

Posted by Jack Louis on Wed., Oct 25, 2006 at 9:35 AM

I live in the 6th and Cacchione has worked hard for the ward and will continue to do so when he is elected alderman.

Posted by 6th Ward Resident on Wed., Oct 25, 2006 at 10:59 AM

Well... when the plumbers butt is showing... we can only hope that it has been wiped.

The Republicans control the pipe fitters????? Proof??? or are you using the tactic that anything in the city that you disagree with is controlled by the Republicans? Because if that is your tactic and Cacchione has contributed to "Republican" causes and Triplett is related to "Republicans" who control a Republican Union. I can't wait for the questions at the debates.

Patrick Cacchione is a REPUBLICAN, a wolf in sheeps clothing scumbag. He lives in a mansion in Compton Heights, not exactly someone really in touch with the poor and middle class in the 6th Ward. He also is PAID CONSULTANT FOR MISSOURIANS AGAINST TAX ABUSE and HE DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS TO ANYONE at the 6th Ward Democratic meeting. He knowingly did not diclose this to anyone at that meeting, and was able to manipulate his agenda- supported by big tobacco- to vote NO on Amendment 3 on the green sample ballot that will be handed to voters at the poles on election day. I don't have a problem with someone stating their views or opinions, but if you do not dislose information such as this, especially at the 6th ward democratic council AND claim to be a Democrat AND you have contributed the MAXIMUM AMOUNT TO JIM TALENT'S CAMPAIGN, you, Mr. Patrick Cacchione, are a dirty typical REPUBLICAN. If you can't win in the city and anywhere else, you are a typical scheming and shady Republican trying to sneak your way into the city.

GET OUT OF THE 6th WARD and GET OUT OF MY CITY

A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING

Yeah if Local 562 is controlled by the GOP then we better watch out because A GREAT MANY DEMORACTIC ELECTED OFFICIALS in Eastern Missouri are connected to the 'Fitters including Charlie Dooley and Bill and Lacy Clay...
