User:Geo Swan/Thomas Corrigan (Transit executive)

Thomas Corrigan and his brothers immigrated to the USA, settling in Kansas City, Missouri, where they became important contributors to the city's growth. Thomas was the President of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company when William Rockhill Nelson founded the Kansas City Star. Although Nelson said he tried to keep his newspaper's voice neutral on politics, he made an exception for his opposition to the city continuing to authorize Corrigan's firm, nicknaming him "Wrong way Corrigan".
