TKC EXCLUSIVE FUNKY RECALL REPORT!!!

The Star claims: "Mayoral recall effort has another week to collect petitions"

In fact, the Funkhouser Recall folks are going to get the 10 day extension . . .

Even more interestingly . . . Mayor Funky's own neighborhood hates him.

Up till this point, the majority of signatures have come from the 4th district.

Now, we all know that Mayor Funky is extraordinarily litigious and he has promised to fight the recall in the same unsuccessful manner he's fighting for Co-Mayor Gloria's feet . . .

HOWEVER, JUDGING BY THE MAYOR'S LACK OF STANDING IN THE VOLUNTEER ORDINANCE ARGUED BY CITY HALL . . . IF THAT ARGUMENT HOLDS UP THIS WEEK THEN IT MIGHT ALSO THWART MAYOR FUNKY'S CHALLENGE TO ANY RECALL PETITION THAT'S ALSO PART OF THE CITY CHARTER!!!

Put simply . . . Mayor Funky might have to find (and pay) for his own lawyer in order to challenge the move to oust him . . . Depending on what a judge soon decides on a slightly unrelated case.

Meanwhile signatures are still coming in and volunteers are now looking for ways to collect the many copies that have been circulating.

Oh . . . And a great many people think that bunk story about Gloria Squitiro being in a mental hospital circulating in comment threads around town is some kind of false flag bit of political hackery intended to garner sympathy and make recall supporters seem mean . . . When in fact, I think the overwhelming majority of people think it would be best for Squitiro, Funkhouser and all of Kansas City if Co-Mayor couple simply stayed at home and left their elected office to someone more qualified and better prepared to handle the job.
