This last bit of news from City Hall during this first, hot-ass week of summer CLEARLY demonstrates that NOBODY is in charge. In absence of any leadership from Mayor Funky and because the City Council is either fighting amongst themselves or can't really go back on their sweetheart deal not so long ago . . .
WORD IS THAT CITY MANAGER WAYNE CAUTHEN HAS HIRED KIMIKO GILMORE AS THE ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER!!!
Local denizens of the political scene know that Ms. Gilmore has strong political roots in local Democrat circles AND she is a former associate of Senator Claire McCaskill.
Obviously, she's pretty well qualified . . . However, there is talk that she's taking down A HUGE PAYDAY amid City Hall layoffs and cutbacks. And everyone at the Hall thought there was a hiring freeze . . . This talk is yet another example that City Manager Wayne Cauthen answers to NOBODY . . . And the center of power in KC is nothing more than Wayne's World.
Wayne Wins Funk. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteWayne's World.

I thought that is what Eddy was?
ReplyDeleteEddy is "Chief of Staff."
ReplyDeleteWhatever that means.
At least he hired a professional. Not somebody who will put porn all over City computers like his old assistant.
ReplyDeleteNo, Eddy's not "Chief of Staff", K. Blackwood is....
ReplyDeletethis is the city council's mess. the funk wanted to replace him. the city council owns him 100%, or he owns them.
ReplyDeleteCauthen stopped hiring qualified department heads and staff 2 years ago. Qualified people don't brown nose and that pisses Wayne big time.
ReplyDeleteFucking idiots on this blog. Kendrick Blackwood is THE MAYOR'S Chief of Staff. Chuck Eddy is THE CITY MANAGER'S Chief of staff.
ReplyDeleteAnd they're both overpaid and unqualified.
Congrats to Kimiko!
ReplyDeletewhat do you expect from wayne all the other cronies that he hired watch porn and probably will surprise us if they actually did any work at all.
ReplyDeletedoes anyone have any info on what wayne is paying her. good to know that the city talk out of there asses when theres a lay off. but then good ole wayne does what he pleases how about this ford you were one who gave him this golden parachute now you got to live with him i would like to know whos on top
ReplyDeleteWayne Cauthen = worthless fuck
ReplyDeleteWhen it's time to vote, remember the 9 who gave him the golden parachute: FORD (who led the way); Curls, Sanders-Brooks, Marcason, Gottstein, Circo, Jolly, Riley, and Sharp. REMIND them with your VOTE!
ReplyDeletesince she now works for the city, her salary is public info. they have to let you see the numbers.
ReplyDeleteI love the way Wayne thumbs his nose and moons the council any time he wants! How many good qualified employees were laid off in the City NManager's Office to "save" money for his nonsense. His Waynette cheerleader team is still intact: Cathy Le, Thalia Cherry, Tracie McClendon and Ava Gardner. All worthless spendthrifts
