Word of this shakeup is bigger than most people know . . .
The most KICK-ASS and AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS let us know this via a simple message . . .
"Tom Coyle, Director of City Planning And Development, let go today"
What this note really means . . .
HUGE KANSAS CITY CHANGES ARE UNDERWAY AT CITY HALL RIGHT NOW AND WE MIGHT EXPECT EVEN MORE CARNAGE AMONG TOP TIER DEPARTMENT HEADS!!!
So, despite speculation that The Great Recession is over . . . We're seeing ongoing austerity measures from Mayor Sly's City Hall along with major shakeups.
DEVELOPING . . .
Nice guy. Very unfortunate.
ReplyDeleteWoah...Scoops McGhee.
ReplyDeleteJust wait, time to undo the Wayne Cauthen era. I anticipate lawsuits in the departments. Apparently the city has not learned it's lesson.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's about time! Next should be that worthless City Mangler, Schulte. He's the top O the list for incompetence. KC should immediately mount a search for an experienced, educated and unafraid City Manager.
ReplyDeleteI once worked at a company that had the GM fly out to California to close/fire the West Coast office.
ReplyDeleteWhile he was gone, they cleaned out his office and when he returned, the big bosses fired him.
Wonder if that may be at work here.....
May I introduce you to the next Director of City Planning and Development: Mr. Terry Riley.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I thought Mr. Riley was making out good trying to privatize the Water Department
ReplyDeletetrue dat.
ReplyDelete432:Shulte keeps saying amicable. Guy never saw it coming. Bank it.
ReplyDeleteWhy would KCMO waste any time or money on a planning director when it never has a plan to implement?
ReplyDeleteJust ask the usual developers and downtown boosters what to do, like they've always done.
Just the usual swirl of personalities and egos and not a serious public policy in sight.
What could possibly go wrong?
6:07 you are VERY correct!!!! And until things change, what we see is all we will ever get...cant wait for election day!!!
ReplyDeleteThey need to get John McGurk out of there. What a talentless and arrogant asshole.
ReplyDelete4:13, The department heads serve at the pleasure of the City Manager. They know that when hired. Coyle is a nice enough guy, but his knowledge of planning has always been somewhat suspect, combined with a lack of codes experience. His coffee house, west coast personality has not won him many fans either. Finally,4:28 Schulte is one of the most educated of City Managers in recent history. He considerable work towards a doctorate degree. Afraid, how can he be afraid when he has put the ax to so many department heads and taken on the fire department?

ReplyDeleteLordy, the sycophant has arrived at 6:46. Looks like the replacement dept head must read TKC.
ReplyDeleteTruest statement award goes to 6:35 PM
ReplyDeleteRunning a successful campaign and running a successful elected office are not necessarily overlapping skill sets.
ReplyDeleteSchulte is a pathological liar. He also needs to go on a diet--he and the mayor look like they'll drop dead any minute.
ReplyDeleteThey always shit can the white male first to preempt the cries of "racism".
ReplyDeleteWatch what happens tomorrow......
They let the white boy go first so Troy wouldn't look racist. Two black directors are next. City Council, time for a change?
ReplyDelete6:46. The City Manager serves at the pleasure of the City Council. Any City Council members here? If so, time for a change. Get rid of all his appointees as well.
ReplyDeleteTroy is Sly's boy so don't count on Cindy or any other council members to go against him.
ReplyDeleteSo... How are we all going to know what to do tomorrow without a central planner in place?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you need a planner when we have a micro manager?
ReplyDeleteHe was a nice guy but a complete noodle. Needed to go. Sly and Troy are trying to deliver the goods and need customer service oriented department heads to lead not blow in the wind. Good move.
ReplyDeleteShit. EDC guy could not get the permanent gig, so he took out the only position he could kind of perform. Survival of the familiar. Customer service at city hall......right.
ReplyDelete"deliver the goods"????????? what is this, Jersey Shore?
