TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! CITY HALL INSIDERS SAY MAYOR FUNKY WILL NOMINATE KENDRICK'S DADDY GEORGE BLACKWOOD TO THE PORT AUTHORITY TOMORROW!!!



The Mayor's Port Authority Slap Fight With The City Council Continues . . . And once again he stays losing.

To wit . . .

CITY HALL INSIDERS SAY MAYOR FUNKY WANTS TO APPOINT HIS HOMEBOY AND CHIEF OF STAFF'S DADDY GEORGE BLACKWOOD TO THE PORT AUTHORITY!!!

It's a dumb move because Blackwood is more infamous in Kansas City political circles for partying than any of his other exploits. To be fair, Blackwood was a Council dude AND he was all over Mayor Funky's Campaign Finance reports back in the day.

Double Bonus: Chief Of Staff Kendrick Blackwood's Daddy coming through for Mayor Funky makes me feel better given that I'm blogging this from my mom's basement. We all need a helping hand from time to time and Mayor Funky seems to be taking his Front Porch Family Circus to the Port Authority to demonstrate how his many connections have inbred.

I can only hope this post made him think twice about the foolhardy effort.

Developing . . . Also, a great opportunity for me to link Usher's "Daddy's Home" which is the stupidest/greatest song currently in my mp3 player.

    Isn't Daddy Blackwood also a business partner to Funkhouser?

    What about that International Performance Audit Sham Non-Profit that Blackwood and Funkhouser started?

    I suppose this failed mayor will point out that Ed Wolf's son is also feeding at City Hall's trough.... now that Ed Wolf, the elder, is supporting Deb Hermann. I wonder if she wins, will she bring back Old Wolf and keep his son in the money? ANYHOO... same thing! Bringing George Blackwood back into City Hall sober will be a neat trick!
    BTW, I stood next to George Blackwood at a city hall meeting. Damn, if a contact high was possible, I would've walked to the elevators stone drunk.

  12. I believe the Port Authority intends to hire International Performance Audit to go with them on overseas trips to engage international partners in developing international trade.

    Mission Hills millionaire Benny can now travel to his native Taiwan on the CITY'S nickel. I'm sure he appreciates the hand out.

    Of course Bonnie Sue will be involved. George will need a drinkin' buddy that can keep up!!

  16. Remember, Blackwood is or was head of that North American supercorridor group (Chinese goods entering Mexico and coming to the trucking/warehouse hub on south KC on trains) Globalization of trade is dying but these vested interests will be in denial until it is dead, dead, dead.

  17. Funky's Price Schedule8/25/10, 7:07 PM

    George's $500+ payment to the State Department of Revenue Collection Enforcement Department this month must have put him a little short on his Funky donation.

    He'll catch you next month, Mark. His credit is good. Just ask Kendrick.

  18. George had to pay the collection judgment to be eligible for his appointment.

  19. Who ever wrote the "POUR Authority" joke.

    Touchdown.

  20. The co-mayor even admitted the current port autority chairman was doing a great job. This is vindictive all because he did not do his job on another appointment. Thank goodness the election is an on coming train and the crash will happen. Beth Gottstein did the right thing. This mayoral administration is the most inept in KC history.

  21. Funky is the white man burden

  22. This town is soooooooooooo screwed up!

  23. Kendrick (god bless him) is inexperienced. Im sure he has consulted with papa George. How has that worked out. Worst administration in KC history and that could include the council because of poor leadership.

    "Politics is present in every business, nonprofit, and government organization. Leadership is about managing politics in ways that improve organizational performance."

    Mark Funkhouser on the homepage of his website.

    The loud sucking sound you hear is Mayor Funkhouser's political career going "to the ocean" (As in, "All water leads to the ocean."- Gill in Finding Nemo).

    At this point the only real question remaining to be answered by Mayor Funkhouser's term of office is: how many political careers of Council members will Mayor Funkhouser "lead" to the ocean with him?

  25. Kansas City gets what it deserves.

    People won't vote these idiots out of office so just paying higher taxes so these politicians have more PLAY money.
