TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! FORMER KANSAS CITY COUNCIL LADY ALISSIA CANADY FRONT RUNNER FOR CITY MANAGER JOB!!!
Mayor Quinton Lucas wants to make history at City Hall with his next big decision.
To wit . . .
ALISSIA CANADY COULD BECOME THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN FEMALE CITY MANAGER IN KANSAS CITY'S HISTORY!!!
Alissia Canady is a smart lady, a lawyer with multiple degrees and, moreover, she has earned just a bit of conservative support with her stand against MLK Blvd.
Even better, with Canady busy as city manager, she won't present much of a reelection threat to Mayor Lucas down the road.
Here's the word:
"She makes perfect sense. At the very least she has some skill and has shown herself to be open to new ideas. Sad to say and sorry if some people don't realize it but she's exactly what Mayor Lucas is looking for . . . The city could do worse. It's just sad that racial preferences are dominating the job search instead of qualifications for the job. There have been some very skilled candidates who have already been turned away. At least with (Ms.) Canady we'll have someone who actually does understand how the city works and has some level of expertise. In a bad situation, she would probably be the best candidate who embodies 'the criteria' desired for the position."
Accordingly and with respect to all of the applicants in this "nationwide" search that's mostly for show . . .
INSIDERS SUSPECT THE NEW CITY MANAGER MUST MEET A DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE AND BEHIND THE SCENES MAYOR Q'S TEAM DEMANDS THE 1ST AFRCIAN-AMERICAN LADY AS THE NEW KANSAS CITY 12TH & OAK HONCHO!!!
What we know for sure is that it's not gonna be another white dude.
Developing . . .
Change can be tough boomers. Sometimes you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet.
ReplyDeleteThe eggs represent your white fragility.
Better her than Earnest.
DeleteIf they did this the other way around it would be considered a hate crime.
DeleteIf they said, no we'd rather have a white guy running things then there would be protests out in the street and a call for the removal of the mayor and anybody who approved it.
But watch, the new candidate will meet the demographic profile.
Personally, I like Alissia Canady but there is supposed to be a nationwide search. Too bad KC can never follow the rules.
^^^ Grow up beetches. Times are changing!
ReplyDeleteThat's a big seat to fill...oh never mind.
ReplyDeleteI smell corruption in the making! Black Folks like to bend the rules when it comes to $$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe’s exactly what we don’t need.
ReplyDeleteA much better way to "make history" would be to have a serious search and hire a COMPETENT person who actually had experience in effective financial management and who focused on providing basic services to residents.
ReplyDeleteOr, if smiley selfies Lucas wants to focus on make-believe history in the days of identity politics on steroids, he could try to find a bi-racial, black transgender, vegetarian, Muslim woman who was a big climate change booster.
HISTORY!!
The taxpayers always come last with this clown show.
you need years of experience to do this job and she ain’t got none of it. I don’t know what idiot said this or if it’s even true, I like her especially after she stood up to the mayor and clowncil for breaking rules but she’s not qualified for this job. Sorry 5:44, your race card doesn’t work here, ms canady would slap the shit out of you for playing it.
ReplyDeleteHaaaahahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteAlissia is very fat. Is her car registration current or do we have to go through that again?
ReplyDeleteWhat experience does she have that qualifies her for this position? The city manager job is a cross between CEO and CFO... I like her allot, but come on!
ReplyDeleteJust what KC needs a city manager who can't even register her car.
ReplyDeleteAs long as they're black, anyone is a candidate for City Mgr. Just bring us your tired, your poor, your BLACK!
ReplyDeleteWhy not Jermaine Reed? Being black, he has the only necessary qualification for the job. Plus, he has an MBA from UMKC. Well, almost.
ReplyDeleteWhy not find the most qualified candidate no matter their color or gender?
ReplyDelete@7:29 AM that circus music you hear getting louder and louder is Jermaine driving to city hall in his clown car. He’s been waiting for a gibs me dat job.
ReplyDeleteI am the first guy to post out the corrupt and ill fated policy of the likes of Clever, James and Reed (MBA). I do think that Canady is great. I would also love to see her take on Clever when he runs for re-election.
ReplyDeleteLearn how to spell before making such outlandish comments. Who is "Clever"?
DeleteWill she get her own parking space?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete@ 5:44 and we all know how fragile blacks are when it comes to the workplace with that affirmative action thing. Seems a bit like our white eggs shells are tougher than your cockroach shell.
"Don't you know who I is? I don't need no tags no kinda way."
ReplyDeleteMeh... still trying to think of some internet comment snarky thing to respond to this teaser.
ReplyDeleteElmer Fudd for City Manager
ReplyDeleteWho cares what the skin color is...as MLK said ......”LIVE IN A NATION WHERE THEY WILL NOT BE JUDGED BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN BUT BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER”. I would suggest hiring the MOST QUALIFIED PERSON regardless of skin color.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, doing what Dr. King actually suggested is considered racist.
DeleteFORMER LAW "PROFESSOR" QUINTON LUCAS GUILTY OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION!
ReplyDeleteWhat we know for sure is that it's not gonna be another white dude...
or a white woman...
or a Latino man...
or a Latina woman...
or an Asian man...
or an Asian woman...
or a Native man...
or a Native woman...
dis·crim·i·na·tion
1. the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.
"victims of racial discrimination"
Oh hell no!
ReplyDeleteLets get some new blood in this town that knows how to operate a city.
At least maybe she'd have the cojones...sorry, the guts...to finally take down the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard signs and replace them with The Paseo. Like the voters wanted.
ReplyDeleteSmiling Selfies Q has a busy day booked with photo ops.
ReplyDeleteSo lighten up!
She is great and she should get the job.
ReplyDeleteI do say that when you consistently hire a particular demographic over the most qualified candidate you will end up with a poorly functioning city. Projects will be mismanaged when unqualified people make decisions.
Canaday, FUCK NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWould she get a reserved parking space?
ReplyDeleteCanady wouldn’t be the first black city manager. Mary K. Vaughn was the first, in 1993-94. They can’t get anything right down at City Hall, not even their own puffery. Remember, if you’re not first, you’re last.
ReplyDeleteImagine how much better KC and Jackson County would be if they hired based on merit, not on quotas.
ReplyDeleteShe sure knows how to manage a spoon.
ReplyDeleteWho wrote that endorsement?
ReplyDeleteAs long as the next city manager fires all Troy’s appointed department directors, I’m good
ReplyDeleteI don't need no stinking tags on my car.
ReplyDeleteI am a Kansas City Star.
She is even fatter than fat Troy.
ReplyDeleteFatter than Sly
ReplyDeleteShe is aware of the power structure created by Troy Schulte and must determine if his remaining followers are complicit in the unethical, unprofessional and fraudulent tactics that will be revealed without Schulte to coordinate the false narratives. The structural budget deficits throughout the entire city budget created in part to fund projects rejected by voters and some I’m sure we don’t even know about.
ReplyDeleteThere is now the opportunity for the truth behind all the employee lawsuits to be revealed without Schulte to misrepresent causation and diminish the role of his administration. Employee lawsuits will reveal the deceptive culture propagated by Schulte resulting in millions of dollars in judgements, settlements and most importantly the impact of the lives of real people; tax paying citizens.
Schulte could not have done this without compliance from others; the question is how many of them are still employees. The motives of these decision making employees could be called into question for years to come. Obviously this includes department directors, but it also includes the lesser known employees placed in positions that have far reaching impact, such as the Internal Auditor. What will be investigated, what won’t be investigated, will the investigation be impartial, will the investigation be thorough? These are questions that will hinder the Internal Auditor and Compliance staff going forward and for good reason, as the Internal Auditor worked extremely close to Troy Schulte for more than 10 years.
The Ethics Commission must take measures to ensure ALL COMPLAINTS submitted via the ethics hotline, email, etc., are accounted for and subjected to an independent review before dismissed as unfounded. Investigations of employees must also be reviewed independently to ensure actions or the lack of action by the previous city managers administration are awarded due process. While the obvious appointees with clear allegiance to Schulte have retired, there is a significant number of employees that are aligned with Schulte and see him as a mentor and have the ability to impact investigations.
5:44 It's well known how cities prosper under black democrats. Let's take Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, for instance.
ReplyDelete300 million people to choose from and she’s the best, I think not!
ReplyDelete1:22 pm, the Ethics Hotline is a joke. If you’re an employee and are found out to have called in a violation, you will be fired.
ReplyDeleteMore like they want to get her off the city council cuz she's the only decent politician in jackson county
