It was an awards ceremony.
Nobody said The Sprint Center Schools First Event was going to be nothing but polite golf claps for winners of mostly meaningless awards. That's something akin to a bad show business ploy . . . And most people skipped the event as far as I could tell from a quick glimpse around the arena other than parents and students eager to earn some kind of recognition.
Mayor Funky was simply complaining and pushing his $100 Million Dollar Bond Plan that has yet to make it out of committee. Along with his tax that the KCPD don't want to use his way and was mostly rejected by the Missouri House and put on the back burner.
Still, there was free popcorn provided by Kansas City Taxpayers. It was delicious.
There was also a bit of discussion in as much as most of the folks receiving awards were invited to say a few words.
But all things considered, it was pretty much an event to discuss Mayor Funky's political ambitions and nothing besides. As I left the event I noticed that The Kansas City Drum Tribe was outside and the air TOTALLY smelled like pot. It was cool and, at the very least, their song and dance was slightly more entertaining than the Mayor's ongoing desperate moves.
I paid for that popcorn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a complete joke and waste of time and resources. You could have held this in someone's garage. This mayor is such an embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't give KCPD any more money. They waste it like the Funk.
ReplyDeleteA City that Works !
ReplyDeleteDRUM CIRCLE!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this I was thinking and this is a Major US city.!?
ReplyDeleteIt looked so primitive and backwards. If people see this on You_tube what will they think?
Neighborhood Schools! What a great idea. Where was Benson (current school board member)who helped with all the busing.Leave Covington and the new school board alone.Its there time to fix the kc district.
ReplyDeleteI want to know if my tax money was used to pay for the dirty hippies, and if so how much did they get,?

ReplyDeleteI don't know what Tony looks like. Was he the large man at the end with the very black hair & mustache?
ReplyDeletewow. I went to support the mayor an dam sorry I did adn have changed my tune. he reaaly does need to get out of town soon. It was really nothing but a awards seminar and if wasnt for the parents that showed up to see their brat on stage getting a paper award or to see their kid in the marching band after teh awards seramony then there woudl have literly have been less the 100 peeps there. WOW that really was bad.
ReplyDeleteWhen's Tony unveiling his plan? I can't wait to hear it!
ReplyDeleteThat was a very strange Mayoral event.
ReplyDeleteFor a hundred million.... hmm, that's a lot of taxi rides to school. Screw the sidewalks. Just send a Lincoln Towncar to pick up all these miscreants until they grow up enough to send KCPD's paddy wagon.
ReplyDeleteHere's a proto type of Tony's Plan...
ReplyDeletekeep kicking funk'd's ass.
OMG...it was worse than I ever imagined! What a total embarrassment to this city! As if we didn't have enough to be embarrassed about already! Fat, grungy hippy chicks dancing with hula hoops, an entire arena used for maybe 150 people, dispensing meaningless awards and making empty, impossible promises to neighborhood groups. Funkhouser has totally lost his mind!
