Chiefs head coach Todd Haley

Arbanas, a former new Kansas City Chiefs jerseys  tight end, has served on the Jackson County Legislature since it was created in 1973.

Riley has served on the Kansas City Council, the Kansas City school board and in the Missouri General Assembly.

Riley says it's time for change. "Richard Nixon was president the first time that Fred was elected," he said.

Riley said Arbanas and other longtime legislators in Jackson County act as if they're entitled to those posts and too often forget the impact of county government operations on the regular citizen.

Riley added that he would push for more openness in how county Matt Cassel officials conduct business and would like to promote more collaboration between the county and other local governments to boost economic development and bring more jobs to the area.

Arbanas says Riley has stretched the truth in campaign flyers that state Arbanas has raised sales tax rates, when public votes were required. Riley also accused Arbanas of long vacations, when the incumbent said he actually takes just two or three weeks a year.

Arbanas noted Riley has moved regularly from one elected Glenn Dorsey post to another.

Chiefs head coach Todd Haley, who called the plays last season, is happy to hand off the task to the former Notre Dame leader.

Haley felt he was stretched too thin after dismissing Chan Gailey prior to the start of the 2009 season and having to handle play calling himself.
