Yael T. Abouhalkah: The reverse discrimination lawsuit that Kansas City lost this week damages the public standing of Acting City Manager Troy Schulte.
Obviously, my headline is more to the point . . . But you get the picture.
Addendum . . . IF Mayor Funky wins, the only thing for sure is bare feet ruling City Hall.

KC doesn't need Deb or Schulte.
ReplyDeleteRather misleading, Tony -- as you say, you are more to the point. So much so that your point appears nowhere else. To the contrary, as Yael (whom you try to claim as support for your bold healdline) says, ALL the candidates (including Burke) have publicly expressed support Schulte.
ReplyDeleteTwo not ready for prime time players
ReplyDelete1:55 . . . Please don't believe everything you hear on the campaign trail. I know I don't.
ReplyDeleteSly said that he's taking a "wait and see" approach.
ReplyDeleteNeither Schulte nor anyone else at city hall in any way depends on their "public standing" to either get re-elected or keep their jobs. It's the insiders' gravy train that calls the shots, and wussy Schulte is safe as can be.
ReplyDeleteThe taxpayers, not so much!
The lawsuits had more to do with the reign of Wayne Cauthen than they had to do with Troy. Obviously Savannah could see a bad thing coming their way and took Cauthen out of the running.
ReplyDeleteTime to clean out City Hall.
ReplyDeleteBut Tony, why should I believe you? You provided no information to back your claim that the other candidates are being untruthful when they publicly support Troy, nor did you provide any reason to think Deb is the only one who still supports him as CM. No quotes from anyone (not even an anonymous tipster), nothing.
ReplyDeleteDeb Herman is not going to win.
ReplyDeleteI'd vote for Micky Mouse before her.
Mickey won't be on the ballot.
ReplyDeleteTroy Schulte has damaged his own standing, starting with his lies about how much money would be saved with the merger of MAST into the city, signing the side letter approving giving the former MAST employees their years of service for their pensions. Do these people go in to these jobs thinking they are going to really do good for the people or do they go in already thinking they will scam as much as they can from labor and big business?
ReplyDeleteDeb Hermann's budget decision cost KC another $6 million
ReplyDelete"On the judge decision, Hermann may have voted against sending the panel but if she wants to be a leader she would have convinced her colleagues to vote with her. Is this the same weak leadership she’s offering as a mayor than kc should pass. On the latest discrimination judgement, this was a result of a highly ineffective cost cutting budget process the was largely led by Hermann. A process that doesn’t strategically address the budget issue and operational issues at city hall. Instead of continuing to put forward simplistic “across the board” budget cuts that Herman and the rest of the council have supported, which invite situations where good people are forced to be let go, they should have been looking to strategically cut wasteful and unnecessary spending and find operational efficiencies. But that approach requires some one with real work experience and more than a high school degree to understand - which as the self proclaimed city budget expert Hermann obviously does not have. "
Actually, Mickey IS on the ballot. Guess which one he is!
ReplyDelete6:47 - Mike Burke - don't you have a campaign to run...sorry, that was mean, obviously you don't.
ReplyDelete6:47 -- yes, the fact that she couldn't convince others to appoint a job and not discriminate is a HUGE failing on her part.
ReplyDeleteGeez . . . you're desperate.
