KC council members pitch GoogleKC

Stumbled upon the GoogleKC press conference in the Power & Light District’s living room, and you can’t blame the handful of local politicos and shakers for using the the Big 12 Fan Fest as a backdrop for their pitch to be the test site for Google’s one gigabyte, high-speed broadband Internet.

A handful of City Council members (Russ “Hot Legs” Johnson, Cindy Circo, Terry Riley and Melba Curls) were there with about 15 other people, waving GoogleKC signs and meekly woo-hooing every time someone finished a speech.
