Yesterday while the computer was acting cantankerous- I finally caught the taped version of the City Council meeting last Thursday where they officially ousted City Manager Wayne Cauthen and installed "Acting" CM Troy Schulte.
For around 2 hours- the business of the citizens of Kansas City MO was put-off to present what has to be one of the worst displays of childishness even presented by a KC-MO council.
Worse- 3 council persons who VOTED FOR retaining Cauthen in 2007- even giving the man A RAISE- voted with Mayor Funk to can Cauthen.
With few exceptions- citizens should SERIOUSLY reconsider re-electing any of this incumbent council.
Riley and Ford should run for mayor next time- so they can be SOUNDLY defeated.
I wonder if there are minimum age requirements for council candidates?
Maybe some intelligent- civic-minded 5th-graders can run for a council seat.
If the 5th-graders conducted a city council meeting like what transpired last Thursday- at least we could say they WERE acting their age....
