T minus 3 days until the Cauthen Countdown really gets going: Yesterday, the City Council helped to put a target on the back of one of the most powerful Black guys in Kansas City . . . In one of their last moves the Kansas City Council on Thursday gave City Manager Wayne Cauthen a satisfactory evaluation, triggering a raise and bonuses . . . Cauthen's base salary will increase from $205,000 to $215,000 on Tuesday. In addition, he will be entitled to incentive pay of at least $30,000, based on meeting certain threshold performance measures in workplace diversity, management of capital improvement projects and revenue goals.
But here's the thing . . . If Funkhouser is even halfway serious about the sweeping changes that he has promised, it simply doesn't make sense to keep the same City Manager that has been so integral in achieving the exact opposite of the Mayor-elect's campaign platform. Cauthen was Mayor Kay's right hand man and to let him continue being one of the most powerful people in City Hall will signify that Funkhouser isn't serious . . . Additionally, if TV reality shows have informed me correctly . . . Getting rid or firing the Black guy is always the safe move . . . So I hope Cauthen buys something nice with his new salary that he'll only collect for a few days . . . Because it's clear that his days and City Manager in KC are numbered.

the good mayor had to leave us citizens with a goodby request that was granting cauthen a 10000 dollar raise and then he in returns gives his assisant a promotion to assistant city manager which is quite a raise for the young lady
