Since yesterday, news about Mayor Funky's lavish office expenditures has been flooding my voicemail, e-mail and smoke signal lookouts.
I don't know if local media is going to cover it but the story started first on TKC and now it's the topic of a great deal of discussion at the Hall.
So many sources are saying different things and from what I hear the pricey rug is just the tip of the iceberg.
KICKASS TKC TIPSTERS ARE SAYING THAT THE REMODELING IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS APPROACHING MID-FIVE-FIGURES!!!
That's quite an expense in the middle of a lingering recession and for a dude who ran on a "smart with the money" campaign.
Furthermore . . .
CITY HALL FOLKS ARE RAISING SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OUTGOING FURNITURE AND CO-MAYOR GLORIA SQUITIRO'S ROLE IN THIS REDECORATING HOT MESS!!!
Unless The Star is simply content to stick their head in the sand and report only on press releases from the Obamacare carnival . . . This might merit some attention. I have some more info on the way that I'm going to send to some of my favorite newsies. As usual, TKC won't get any credit but readers of this dump already know where the story started.
And the "fun" of more Funky broken promises is just beginning . . . Stay tuned.
I hope Gloria covers everything in plastic like a typical Italian housewife.
ReplyDeleteThe office was pretty run down before the Clampetts moved in. I think it is a good thing to get things ship shape and footprint free before the next Mayor takes over in 2011. Honestly, knowing our mayor penchant for sittin' around nekked, and having his balls played with do you want to sit on that couch? YUCK! Louie Wright sure picked himself a fine puppet.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the REAL news going to cover it or is this stuff you're just making up Tony?
ReplyDelete"Real" news? Barely exists anymore.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I did not ever need to think about the mayor's thirst for setting around nekkid and having his balls played with.
ReplyDeleteI have to go take a shower.
The Mayors balls? Gross.
ReplyDeleteCan we please vote for a woman next time?
Good call 4:40. Even if it is an old hag like Kay. At least we won't have to deal with any of this oversexed nonsense.
ReplyDeleteSeems that Funk is like many people who complain about the "insiders" running things. They complain, and whine until they get to be the insiders then the overspending, gladhanding and favortism is all good. Hypocrits.
ReplyDeleteAlso I also think it's odd The Star hasn't weighed in since they made a huge stink when other city offices were remodled a few years back (remember the flat screen TV controversy?)
I wanna see the rug, I bet it is FABULOUS! Did Louie "help" with the shopping?
ReplyDeleteWait until Funk and Glo see my "office warming" gift: a best of show picture album of the high school swimmers who I gave special attention to over the years and earned the name "Coach."
As far as the budget, don't worry your silly little heads over that. I mean I have been faking the books for the County Democrat Party for several years now and no one ever looks at that stuff. It is so boring. Round up. Round down. Or just make stuff up.
It is not like we have a newspaper or TV reporters who want to work!
show me your sources, Tiny
ReplyDeleteWho's going to clean that rug? What will it cost?Or is Gloria going to take it home?
ReplyDeleteI voted for this guy, and I am completely disappointed in his performance. It's just one crappy decision after another. From the extreme office makeover to stopping scheduled bulky pick up to the MAST/KCFD thing to the Gloria thing (ew), it's just one thing after another. Can't anybody run this town?
ReplyDeleteWhy are Louie and Gloria so mad at Dan Ryan?
ReplyDeleteI think the Rt. Hon. Robert Finn is mad at Danny.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so Finn may be mad at young Mr. Magoo, but how does that bring in thuggish Louie?
ReplyDeleteForgive me I should have wrote Bishop Finn. Only the Pope is infallable.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Leading Kick-Assed Tipster of All Times, Gloria is still searching for the last chattel that she needs to make the new office a power-lair:
ReplyDelete3 Nubian Fops
2 Devocalized Filipino Man-Servants, preferably named Dennis and Pedro
1 Cat-o-nine-tails
1 Auction Block
1 Lesbian parrot
2 Leather Hood Masks
1 Head of Joe Miller (not picky which one)
OMG!
ReplyDeleteThat might be the best comment ever made on this blog!
That carpet was chosen by bare feet walking on it. From what I've heard the balls are in a box that is in a purse.
ReplyDeleteThe place is going to be real nice and they got a good trade-in on that old funky art deco furniture. The guy at the flea market said they only took a set of tire chains and a wok.
I read in a blog somewhere that Kay Barnes is scratching her balls and thinking about running.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding comments!
ReplyDeleteIn a year and ten months that carpet will be for sale cheap.
ReplyDeleteDid they buy the velvet couch?
Velvet burns on the butt!!
Italian Hill County modern. That is what we get in the Mayors office.
