TKC introduction: Puck is probably one of the most talented writers I've ever met and today there is proof for all of Kansas City to enjoy Puck provided gooness. Check out an epic slam of the current maneuvers going on a City Hall courtesy of City Manager Wayne Cauthen.
Cauthen's Ill-advised Maniacal Operations or CIMO
Reading audits can be a bit of a drudge, but Puck is a bit of a masochistic. In any event, he’s glad Gary White made the 2008 CIMO audit so easy to understand. The audit made obvious several things about CIMO, including that it’s time to pull the plug on this mismanaged money pit of a department that appears to exist mainly to feed the Friend of Wayne, Oscar Tshibanda. Among some of the things White’s audit exposed were:
Wayne’s response to the audit was a pablum-filled pushback full of arrogance, stating that he intends to make CIMO a full-fledged department with authority over ALL capital projects. Yet there is NO evidence that any of the audit’s many sound recommendations were ever carried out! And when CIMO was formed, it was never intended to be permanent. Cauthen sold the Council a bill of goods in 2004, saying the best of the best would come to Kansas City and teach us all we needed to know, if only we paid the money (remember The Music Man and “Professor” Harold Hill?). Well, we paid… to the “tune” of $17 million!
There is a lot more to this finely-worded audit, so easy to read even the simplest of TKC readers will grasp the facts that CIMO is a HUGE WASTE and a FAILED PROJECT that MUST BE ELIMINATED. Read the audit at http://ww4.kcmo.org/auditor/07-08audits/CIMOfollow-up08.pdf and see that CIMO’s biggest use seems to be to pay Friend of Wayne Tshibanda millions of your tax dollars!
And… speaking of Tshibanda… he’s been a busy boy as of late. During a bad bout of insomnia, Puck was patrolling Case.net and found that, just a few days ago (November 2 to be exact), Tshibanda formed a brand-new LLC. It’s a Limited Liability Company, perhaps to protect his anticipated new millions from KCMO? This little venture is creatively called Tshibanda Holdings, LLC, and papers were just filed with the MO Secretary of State. Poor Oscar might need the protection, as he has a history of poorly managing his finances. For example, Tshibanda was:
Factor in an arrest warrant for failing to show up for sentencing after pleading guilty to a traffic violation, and one wonders why the Council would buy anything Tshibanda is selling. Yet several council members seem eager to follow Wayne's lead in cementing CIMO for good and making a new highly-paid position for another Friend of Wayne.
We can only hope enough Council members stop drinking the Kool-Aid and get the guts to finally say "NO" to Cauthen… but we have our doubts.
Awesome.
ReplyDeletePuck is making a big mistake Tony. He's expecting the City Council to do something.
ReplyDeleteIs there any money in this for Kim Carlos? If not, we really should not move forward.
ReplyDeleteCity Manager is almost gone, just like Funk.
ReplyDeleteBig deal.
Mom nailed it. It is the council. They enable Cauthen to blow millions of our dollars on cushy jobs for his buddies. Of course, quite often one or more of them benefit from his misdeeds. Is that why they let him walk all over them? All the while, the city is falling apart. If the council does anything it is to pick some nonsensical fight with Funk. Don't get me wrong, Funk must go!
ReplyDeleteThe council's actions are only making Funk and Cauthen stronger. The last laugh for Funk and Cauthen will be when the council all lose their re-election bids and Funk and Cauthen can live happily everafter finalizing the destruction of KC from their digs on the 29th floor. The council needs to show Cauthen the path back to Denver and focus on making sure Funk that Funk is out in 11. If they don't, they will be sorry.
Where is the OUTRAGE from the City Council...why is Cauthen still here?? Ed Ford, Jan Marcason, Cindy Circo good luck on your re-election bids!
ReplyDeleteThanks, TKC. I just read the audit that was linked for CIMO. Why didn't the Star report this in 08? I won't even admit to any of my friends that I read TKC but, unfortunately, it is the only place with any real news. Less nudity and less raunchy comments on TKC and I might come out of the closet and cancel my subscription to the Star.
ReplyDeletewhat nudity? what'd i miss?
ReplyDeletePuck has a big fat error in his first line.
ReplyDeleteThey all must go, but who is there to replace them?
ReplyDeleteIs there a missing link here? Where is Puck's article?
ReplyDeleteAfter Tony's intro. That was Puck's article.
ReplyDeleteDumbass.
Ours is an envionment where evil is perceived to be rewarded while good is punished. As with everything the Gods have a reason for creating this perception::::
ReplyDeletePeople who fall on the good side of the good/evil scale have more favor, and when they do something wrong the Gods punish them BECAUSE THEY WANT THEM TO LEARN. The Gods want them to receive this feedback in hope they make corrections and begin to behave appropriately. The Gods DON'T like evil and refuse to grant this feedback.
EVERYBODY pays for what they do wrong, only evil people must wait until their next life before they will experience the wrath of the Gods, manifested in their reincarnation as a lower form of life into environments with increased/enhanced temptations.
Sadly, this allows the Gods to position this perception of evil rewarded as temptation, one which they use as an EXTREMELY effective corruptor.
Both Africa and the Medittereanean are regions which have sexual issues. This is a sign of morbid disfavor once you understand that females are the God's favored gender. Muhammad's (Mohammed's) polygamy halfway through his life as a prophet was preditory. Now a huge percentage of Muslims believes in male superiority and that the abuse of women is God's will. Female genital mutilation is still practiced in Africa. Black misogyny is the most eggregious example in the recent past.
Black member size is temptation to a predisposed population.
The patriarchal cancer spread throughout Europe because of Christianity, of which the majority of policy makers were Italian men. Expect the largest landowner in Europe and the continent's original superpower also played a major role in African slavery.
Militancy in Africa is consistant with the Iraqi example, as was slavery and the KKK here in America:::Fear enforces proper behavior. Without it we see what happens as a result of gross/morbid disfavor:::::AIDS, crack babies, dead young men in gangland retaliation killings. This is the purpose behind many black's historical tendancy towards resistance.
The same principle was true in Europe and throughout the world for centuries:::People whom lived under iron fists were conditioned to think the right way. As a result they experienced higher numbers of children ascend into heaven because they were taught to think and behave appropriately, which they passed on to their children. Our preditory envionment of "freedom" was the primary purpose the Gods had when implimenting this strategy that is the United States, one which they used to spred the cancer of democracy and westernization throughout the world. And the Gods use this tool that is America to prey on the disfavored both at home and abroad:::Much like the ghetto, America in general experiences a heightened level of temptation due to the people's disfavor.
Even the Old Testiment is not to be taken literally, but the Gods do offer clues throughout to help the disfavored:::The apple is a tool of temptation used to corrupt Adam and Eve and cast them out of the Garden of Eden.
There is another lesson to be learned from this passage, and it is quite similar to the vailing issue and the discourse over women's attire which ultimately died in the 70s:::Women are responsible for and control the fate of mankind.
Think about what I say. Consider what I teach. Society is going to become disturbingly ugly as we approach the Apocalypse due to spiralling, runaway disfavor.
I do not know when this will occurr, but it is the God's way to grant some time before they end on Planet Earth.
Make the decision to always be good and never look back. Until you do this technology will employ tactics to test your resolve:::Ridicule, beligerance, doubt and refusal to abandon what people perceive to be their "investment".
Pray daily. Think appropriately. Too many are confident, unaware of the God's awesome powers or their status as antients. Others may fall prey to their positioning.
Be humbled, God-fearing and beware of the God's temptations, for everyone is tested to evaluate their worthiness.
Search rest
Crap. I thought this was going to be about that Real World dude that eats his scabs and nailed the hispanic chick.
ReplyDeleteMike Burke has always supported and spoke very highly of CIMO. He knows what he is talking about. Burke for Mayor!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your opinion Kim. (How much do you plan to make off of this?)
