TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! THE LEGACY OF FORMER KANSAS CITY MAYOR MARK FUNKHOUSER: IN THE END, IT SEEMS HE COULDN'T EVEN GIVE AWAY FREE BEER!!!
This could be the saddest thing I've ever written about the current lame duck Mayor. . . .
Mark Funkhouser was the first Kansas City Mayor voted out of office in more than 80 years after only one term. He accomplished little as Mayor. The Funkhouser Administration is regarded as one of the most ineffective in modern Kansas City history.
But it gets worse:
KICK-ASS KANSAS CITY TIPSTERS WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT ATTENTION TO MAYOR FUNKY'S LATEST CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT WHICH REVEALS THAT HE HAD TO RETURN A LOT OF BEER TO COSTCO AND SEEMINGLY COULDN'T GIVE IT AWAY!!!
Here's a quick look at the important part of the filing:
Nobody wanted to party with him, very few people wanted to share a drink . . . It's a fact that Co-Mayors Funky and Squitiro seemed downright lonely as the election concluded..
To wit . . .
Returned unused beer to Costco for Kansas City's Outgoing Mayor Mark Funkhouser is probably the definitive action of a Co-Mayor who couldn't even give it away near the end.
Good for him.
ReplyDeleteWithout a campaign fund, how will Gloria's cell phone bills get paid?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know who took that posed picture and how it found its way into a hit piece on TKC. Why did he pose? How did TKC get it? THERE's the backstory of this mayor!
ReplyDeletei think in this picture he's buying the beer, not returning it..
ReplyDeleteIn my lifetime, I have never returned "unused" beer. What planet is this guy from?
ReplyDeleteHe's never smoked, either, so if he stays thin, he'll outlive us all. In October, he'll be 62 & can file for Social Security. When he was 26, you would have stepped of the curb to let him pass.
ReplyDeleteAnd exactly how many people would want to touch anything that passed through the fingers of the Squid?
ReplyDeleteI will not be buying beer from Costco for some time for the very reason that 8:12 noted.
ReplyDeleteThe Ethics Commission should not overlook the way Funky, Squid and Jeff Roe ignored the ethics laws.
So PATHETIC. Was this guy really the Mayor?
ReplyDeleteChrist people, he just happened to be Mayor during the worst financial crisis since the 1930's. I give him credit that Kansas City is still moderately functional.
ReplyDeleteSly has the tough job though. I'm predicting it's only going to get worse for Kansas City.
Obviously he wasn't offering the beer to the right person! Please refer him to me! :)
ReplyDeleteReturning unused beer? That's like trying to figure out how to save a half-eaten bag of potato chips. Not gonna happen.
ReplyDeleteThey drank Deb Hermann's beer, but they didn't vote for her.
ReplyDeleteWould you prefer he give away beer that was purchased but left unused? How would that look? Wouldn't that be illegal?
ReplyDeleteT - time to move on from your hatred of the Funk and find another target.
9:17. HE SHOULD HAVE LEFT HIS WIFE AT HOME. He would probably had a second term if he would have.
ReplyDeleteThe political activity at the County Courthouse seems more interesting than City Hall today. More activity in the effort to replace Jim Kanatzar as Prosecutor. Local 42 has its candidate in State Representative Jean Peters Baker.
ReplyDeleteBeer does have an expiration date. How would the store know it was stored properly during the time he had it? I don't think the store can resell it. I'm surprised Cosco took it back.
ReplyDeleteCan this be news?
ReplyDeleteMy take: We'll need the beer to get through the upcoming council: worse than the current council, which was worse than the council before them.
This ought to be sent to the Ethnics Commission.
ReplyDeleteThis ought to be sent to the Ethnics Commission.
ReplyDeleteSad photo of the Mayor. He looks sort of pathetic, with a "hey will you be my friend?" look.
ReplyDeletehe don't need no friends he's got a Squid
ReplyDeleteI never liked the Pilsner.
ReplyDeleteI like that Avenue Ale.
