TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! CHECK THE NEW CITY COUNCIL HANDBOOK THAT GRANTS EVEN MORE POWER TO MAYOR PRO TEM CINDY CIRCO!!!
The New City Council Handbook is creating more than a bit of discord among our elected officials at City Hall.
To wit . . .
MAYOR PRO TEM CINDY CIRCO WILL BE ENJOYING UNPRECEDENTED NEW POWER OVER HER COLLEAGUES THANKS TO THE NEW HANDBOOK AND RULES!!!
Even more significant . . .
Just like we mentioned previously . . . Mayor Pro Tem's control over the purse strings has many City Council members crying foul and this handbook simply makes the situation worse.
The resolution in support of the handbook will most likely be pushed forward pretty soon and its on this week's agenda. Unlike "ethics reform" the new handbook has some practical use . . .
Check this section on budgets:
"Each City Council office is allotted $74,000 annually to pay for their staff, travel and office supplies. Councilmembers have some discretion on how those funds are allocated. However, funds are not to be used for personal or political purposes, but are limited to City purposes as provided in §2-1019 of the Code of Ordinances.
"It is imperative that each Council office remain within their budget through the entire fiscal year. City Council offices need to proactively work with the City Budget Office to ensure that they stay within budget for the entire year."
Even in the text of the new handbook this last passage is in bold and underlined.
Wanna know why?
BECAUSE A COUPLE OF SPENDTHRIFT 5TH DISTRICT AND 3RD DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE CONSTANTLY RUNNING THROUGH THEIR BUDGET AND ALWAYS ASK FOR MORE CASH!!!
For better or worse, Mayor Pro Tem Cindy Circo has held City Hall purse strings tight and made quite a show of playing the enforcer when it comes to her job duties.
One KC Insider noted:
"Cindy is ruthless as Mayor Pro Tem. She really is a far cry from her predecessor Bill Skaggs. The Mayor Pro Tem title has always been something of a gag but she's takes it very seriously and now it seems like she's attempting to get more power for this joke job."
And so . . . This power grab that controls City Council budgets and even offers advice as to dress code will soon be part of City Hall rules and regs so that we can all pay homage to Mayor Pro Tem Cindy Circo's increasing importance.
DEVELOPING . . .
More useful than ethics reform?
ReplyDeleteThat's a bit of a stretch.
We will see how tough she is. Her 5th District colleague, "reverend" Brooks, is one man budget wrecking crew. Look at his travel and other expenses.
ReplyDeleteSo Cindy, go to work and show you can be really tough on him.
Twat
ReplyDeletenow if you ever get cindy to send you some sexting messages. THAT will be a story my friend.
ReplyDeleteRead the document in its entirety. Poorly done. I laughed out loud when I read the part about dress code. Mayor Pro Tem has nothing better to do than be the fashion police for the Council offices? What a joke!
ReplyDeleteIf Cindy can "ride herd" on these out-of-control idiots on the council, more power to her!!! Go Cindy!
ReplyDeleteThere isn't a lot to like or respect about Ms. Circo. But if she can control the spending of this clown club she deserves praise.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of “ongoing political corruption investigations" in the morning!
ReplyDelete8:57 - There's a smell alright, but it is more like reeking fish cannery waste.
ReplyDeleteMost of her power rests in her Blow Job giving stamina.
ReplyDeleteCindy have fun it will be over soon
ReplyDeleteAnd Theresa Garza Ruiz is ready to pick up the Girl Power torch when Cindy is termed out! YEAH!
ReplyDeleteReads like she is just trying to do her duties. Keeping them in line on their spending is a good thing, not a 'power grab'.
ReplyDeleteSo some "tipster" is upset that a $74000 budget isn't enough for some middling council person in a mid-size random american city? Good god, why is their budget so huge? Does this include the full time assistant they all get for their part time job? I think I just found a way to save about a half million dollars a year.
ReplyDeleteCindy look at what happens after the Council it's a dead end so enjoy your five minutes of fame and go off into that good night.

ReplyDeleteGreat photo of her jerking off a ghost while straining to shit a dry one next to a flower arrangement.
ReplyDeleteYou should see her running around council chambers wearing this!
She and the cabal does a great job. KC area’s unemployment rate dropped over 12 months to 6.6 percent from 7.1 percent. The drop in joblessness was partly due to about 8,000 workers leaving the local labor force and no longer being counted as working or looking for work.

ReplyDeleteCome on everyone, it's time to do the Circo Jerk!
ReplyDeleteCirco is a twit.
This woman is trying to make a difference in KC and politics is a helluva way to do it. If she can stop some of the entrenched city hall assholes, great. Let's give her a chance?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteShe apparently enjoys fisting while straining to take a crap.
Soon, her and Russ and all the other clueless councilpeople will be out of office.
ReplyDeleteThis handbook is a joke.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going on a rampage to micromanage, at least make sure the tool you're using is correctly spelled and grammatically correct. This handbook is neither.
An effort from a mayor pro tem? More like from a mayor pro tempura... Fried, greasy and bad for you.
I really get tired of hearing here gripe about hot flashes.
ReplyDeleteNot bad 8:49, Mayor Pro Tempura....
