MAYOR FUNKY IS GIVING AWAY THE STORE TO SAVE SQUITIRO!!! KANSAS CITY FOLKS SEEKING A FAVOR HAVE 24 HOURS TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT!!!

City Hall insiders say that the volunteer ordinance is dead in the water.

Racial slurs in the Mayor's office, raunchy talk, nasty letters and Gloria Squitiro's bare feet weren't more important than the favors that Mayor Funky is giving out in return for support of his wife.

Allegedly, Sharon Sanders Brooks got a sweet, high ranking gig for main sqeeze because of her flip-flop.

Also, a great many City Hall denizens are talking about John Sharp hooking up his girlfriend with a gig as well.

BUT THE FUNKY MAYORAL GIVEAWAY DOESN'T STOP THERE . . . RUMOR HAS IT THAT ALMOST EVERYBODY WHO ASKS IS GETTING A FAVOR IN RETURN FOR STANDING AGAINST AN ORDINANCE THAT WOULD ATTEMPT TO REGULATE GLORIA SQUITIRO'S OUT OF CONTROL BEHAVIOR!!!

In other words . . .

ALL OF KANSAS CITY IS STANDING IN LINE TO KISS GLORIA SQUITIRO'S FEET!!!



I appreciate the spectacle, and encourage everyone who can to get in on the giveaway, but some of the names and organizations that are cashing in on the Mayor's hard times are somewhat surprising . . .

Close City Hall watchers have seen KC Politico Gary Kemp lobbying on behalf of Gloria Squitiro's big feet and telling council people to back off.

A two man shop of a Hispanic Organization run by a former convicted felon will now be expecting favors in return for speaking out on the "injustice" of regulating volunteers.

In a seemingly smart move, Kansas City's Firefighters Union reps are also standing with Mayor Funky against the Volunteer Ordinance . . . The rumor is that Mayor Funky's problem with their pricey pension will now go away because the firefighters came to the rescue of Gloria Squitiro's big feet. Because I know KC Politics, I never expect much to change in this town but folks like Yael Abouhalkah just might regret this pricey deal cutting from a Mayor who promised fiscal responsibility.

And actually, when it comes to cutting deals . . . This kind of thing is how a Mayor is supposed to conduct business . . . It's just too bad that all of this deal making is for the sake of Gloria Squitiro and not something important like, oh, let's say: Sewers and Water Infrastructure.

Still, the the recent round of favors leaves Mayor Funky at a disadvantage . . . A surprising number of people now have a piece of the Mayor and they're going to take any of the guy's notorious stubborness as a personal affront from now on . . . Put simply, Mayor Funky must now play ball because of the favors he owes on behalf of his wife.

Conservatives and reactionaries from across Kansas City have stood behind Cordish and their policy to openly discriminate against Black males.

THOSE FOLKS MIGHT NOT LIKE AN UPCOMING MOVE BY MAYOR FUNKY TO CRACK DOWN ON THE DISCRIMINATORY CORDISH POLICY BECAUSE OF A DEAL MADE WITH A GROUP OF BLACK POLITICOS NOT TO RAISE A RUCKUS ON BEHALF OF THE VOLUNTEER ORDINANCE!!!

Really, I hope I'm making myself clear on this one . . . Because of the volunteer ordinance:

NEARLY EVERY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP IN KANSAS CITY HAS A PIECE OF MAYOR FUNKY!!!

It looks like Gloria will get a pass, but as usual Mayor Funky is a man with a lot of debts to pay on behalf of his spouse.

What Mayor Funky doesn't know is that this volunteer ordinance isn't the only move in the works against his wife's unsanctioned presence. Meanwhile the guy clumsily gave away the store in order to take care of the least serious effort to oust Shoeless Gloria Squitiro.

In the long run, Mayor Funky was going to subvert the ordinance anyway so City Council people shouldn't feel too bad about the defectors from the Council Alliance. Also, I think people might have a little bit more respect for Jan Marcason as one of the few politicos in this town willing to stand up against the Eastside handout mentality displayed by Sharon Sanders Brooks.

Still, I've noticed that Mayor Funky has continually backed out on his word during his short political career. I'm wondering if he understands the seriousness of the commitments he made to so many people on behalf of his wife. This bit of deal making in order to save Squitiro was the Mayor's first foray into the real world of politics and not just lame press conferences written by amateur hacks. Funkhouser will now find that he now owes a great many favors to forces that couldn't care less about his agenda and betraying his word once again will cost him dearly. Funkhouser's arrogance and stubbornness kept his wife in the Mayor's office but I wonder if those same qualities will allow him to sell out most of the "principles" of his campaign as the people he is now indebted to inevitably come calling.
