Prime Buzz: Kendrick Blackwood got a more than $17,000 salary bump for his new duties as chief of staff to Mayor Mark Funkhouser. His new salary is $100,000 even, according to the city’s human resource department. His old salary was $82,800 . . . Double Bonus: For the time being he doesn't have to deal with Gloria Squitiro's feet!!! Also, since Mayor Funky isn't paying Ed Wolf a quarter mill to take orders from his wife, this actually represents a savings for Kansas City.

$100,000!?!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's almost enough to buy 7 feet of light rail starter line!
Wow. I can't believe the city is paying $100k to this kid. Have you ever spoken with him? He has no clue what he is doing or what he is talking about. Just sad.
ReplyDeleteIt could be worse, the job could have went to Gloria.
ReplyDeleteAwww, don't be picking on young Schmendrick Blackwood. It's worth the extra money to set up the City Hall pool on when L'il Joe Miller will explode with jealousy.
ReplyDeleteFor all we know, the job did go to Gloria. They work from his home, Ramshackle Plaza on 57th Street... and she has been reported to have made phone calls on his behalf and he noted the other day that if the council people he had dropped from his monthly meeting schedule (in the spirit of good feelings and working together?) they were free to call his house and ask for either him or the Squid.
ReplyDelete100K a year to start your day drinking over priced coffee and stale baked goods at Aixois while you try to look imporant -- Blackwood's lament.
ReplyDeletewhy not pay him that much look what they are paying the city manager
ReplyDeleteThe mayor will not hire any "idea" people, or anyone with more experience than himself (which is almost everyone). He employs only those he can control.
ReplyDeleteThe city manager didn't previously write wedding announcements. The Mayor just wants people that kiss his ass around the 29th floor. Blackwood is freaking moron. I agree the guy has no clue what he is doing or talking about.
