A look at the New Mayor Pro Tem: Off the record the Council says it'll be John Sharp



Mayor Funky is out of love with Northland Council Dude and current Mayor Pro Tem Bill Skaggs . . . That might be because a great many people say that Skaggs would be a better Mayor than Funkhouser.

In any event . . . Council shake-ups are on the way and off the record City Council folks are saying that it'll be John Sharp who might walk away with it.

I was hoping that the Mayor would show a bit of insight into Kansas City politics and appoint the first African-American female to the job of Mayor Pro Tem . . . Either his boo, Sharon Sanders Brooks or even better Melba Curls. This appointment would be a bit of Kansas City history and at least one first by the Mayor who has a tenure full of nothing but empty promises.

In any event, what I'm hearing about Sharp isn't good as of late. Personally, I like the guy and I think some of the social causes that he has supported offer a bit of insight into his politics. HOWEVER, he's probably the most skilled politico on the Council given the fact that NOBODY can know for sure where he stands on most Kansas City issues. He's cagey and Funkhouser appointing him is taking a real risk . . . There's word that he could be a dark horse candidate for Mayor but because of his reputation for working with folks against Funkhouser there is once again talk that Sharp just might be (yet again) the last, best hope of he Funky bunch.

We'll see . . . The Mayor Pro Tem job is not a brass ring, it's something that people want to achieve on the way to bigger and better assignments which should make everyone suspicious of the people who actively seek out the job.

Certainly, I like to keep my eye on all of the City Council almost as closely as I'm looking at recent Marissa Miller bikini photos.

  2. Tony, it would be nice and all, but to tell you the truth, neither one of those councilwomen are qualified or competent enough to be mayor pro tem unfortunately. Sharp is the better option by far. Sharp should even consider throwing his hat into the mayoral race.

  7. Sharp is a scum bag. He ran MAST into the ground. He attacked women's rights as a Republican then turned Democrat and started banging a black chick because he could dominate her.

  8. Okay, how in the hell do you know that he wanted to dominate a black woman?

    People come up with the stupidest shit on this blog. And it's not just Tony.

  9. Yea Funky could make it a 100% failure by picking curls or brooks. That would show that he can't do anything right.

  10. If he could bury the hatchet with Ed Ford he would be the best choice. When he is not stalking the Mayor he is quite reasonable and effective.

  11. Oh, no, not SHARP! That guy is in bed with Louie Wright and is hell-bent to destroy MAST. He ran it into the ground and they recovered; now he's out to run it into the ground AGAIN with Louie's help. Follw the money, folks! This guys been bought.

  12. Amen, to the last comment. Sharp is a weasel and has been in bed with Louie; he'll do whatever Louie wants.
