Steve Bough, the well-connected former chair of the Jackson County Democratic Party, will not be confirmed to serve on the county Sports Authority, according to Kansas City Star political reporter Steve Kraske.
Sources tell The Star that Bough’s name will be withdrawn in the next couple of weeks. Bough, a lawyer, has served on the panel that oversees the Truman Sports Complex for about six months and was awaiting Senate confirmation.
Said Bough:
“I enjoyed my service on the Sports Authority, and I think I did a good job for the taxpayers.”
Bough is said to have run into opposition from his own party in the form of new state Sen. Paul LeVota of Independence.
“It’s a senator’s prerogative to do this,” Bough said. “It’s Sen. LeVota’s prerogative to stop somebody’s nomination.”
