Kansas City Mayor Mark Funkhouser's Iphone troubles have plagued his administration since the opening days of his Administration. Campaign finance questions have arisen regarding his initial purchase of and Iphone (and one for his wife, the Co-Mayor) and now it looks like another campaign finance report shows the Mayor's free wheeling Iphone use continues.
THIS INFO IS COURTESY OF ONE OF THE MOST KICKASS TKC TIPSTERS WHO I'M VOTING FOR IN THE NEXT MAYOR'S RACE WHETHER SHE LIKES IT OR NOT!!!
Here are just a few preliminary questions that should help guide reading the info this post provides:
Why is a campaign that is clearly not active still expensing cell phone bills and buying something from the Apple Store three days before Christmas?
Is every call on those iPhones campaign related?
And slightly related to this iphone mess is another impending campaign finance debacle for the Co-Mayors:
What kind of campaign office equipment costs $438.74 and where is it?
Here's the most important part of this story, the link so that readers and newsies can view for themselves:
THE MAYOR'S LATEST CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT IS FILLED WITH PRICEY IPHONE PAYMENTS AND A BIG TICKET PURCHASE LEADING UP THE BUDGET DEBATE AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE!!!
Let's not forget that last time around Mayor Funky was fined by the Missouri Ethics Commission for his freewheeling campaign accounting that's anything but smart with the money.
The Mayor can't call this a rookie mistake and I hope local media won't let him slide on extravagant purchases once again. While the rest of the nation is dealing with impending financial doom, it's disgusting to see Mayor Funky's "campaign" spending so freely on amazingly pricey iphone bills.
But Tony. How else is he going to take Marching orders from Gloria?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I don't have his phone bill.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he went with the Put It Up My Ass plan. Somewhat appropriate considering the mayor's very public foray into medical anal play.
ReplyDeleteBy the way DumbFunk. It's AT&T now. How many years ago did they change from Cingular?
This is the reason I don't have one of those stupid Iphones. That kind of money is ridiculous and worse when you consider the troll on the other end.
ReplyDeleteOMG...if Beth runs for Mayor your cred is done...
ReplyDeleteThe only thing Beth Gottstein needs to run for is the pharmacy to refill her meds.
ReplyDeleteI luv me an iphone. I also love me some salad and chips.
ReplyDeleteSalad And Chips
He and the Squid have clearly violated the law with respect to paying for the use of their Iphone for personal affairs and business. What is the recourse? Probably very little if any at all. Just another example of the hypocrisy of Mark and Gloria. But we already knew this...
ReplyDeleteFunk-ee is Tony's bitch.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will have a term or less. This has been an awful mess. And an awful mess when the City could have helped rather than further divided, embarrassed and let down by this mindless cretin.
ReplyDeleteFuck that's a horrible plan.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of disgusting things... what ever happened to that Waldo band rapping about... um, what was the word...that pretty much told everyone they were gay for Tony?
ReplyDeleteI'd hardly call any of that "extravagant" spending.

ReplyDeleteWe need people to sign up now. Can you get your friends to sign? family? co-workers? only requirement is that they be registered voters in KANSAS CITY MISSOURI. now how hard is that? It is a hard thing to do. That is why the bastard mayor gets away with his shitty business. Please help.
ps ... canvassing date is set for April 24 & 25th . 20,000 names on the petition. alot, but you know a lot of disgusted voters. Real volunteering is easier than a prostate exam!
ReplyDeleteI want the funk gone as well, but a recall isn't going to work. Just think about it - will a majority of registered voters recall the guy for being a moron?
ReplyDeleteOn to more important matters.
ReplyDeleteOMG! My tilapia fillets in apples, capers and mushrooms scorched. Looks like popcorn for supper.
