JUST HEARD A BIT OF EXCLUSIVE TALK CIRCULATING REGARDING MAYOR FUNKY'S UPCOMING BUDGET MOVES!!!
As always, the news comes courtesy of a KICKASS TKC TIPSTER . . .
Word around the campfire is that Mayor Funky might be sandbagging when it comes to the budget . . .
Mayor Funky is waiting on his decision to veto the budget . . . He's allowed something like a week . . . But then, after he gives his veto . . . He'll earn even more time work on the budget and maybe even the opportunity to sway a few votes (other than just Sharon Sanders Brooks) his way.
I know, I know . . . Unless he plans on pulling $20 million out of his pocket . . . It's not going to make a difference, right?
Well, there is speculation that Mayor Funky might actually be putting his alleged auditing skills to work and his plans could include some details on how to restore funding to the KCPD. This tactic accomplishes two goals:
The downside: The possible sandbagging technique could be taken apart by the Mayor's political opponents . . . If the Mayor had went off and crunched the numbers on his own . . . Why not share the details with the Council? Why not try to build some kind of coalition? But if anything . . . This entire budget mess has demonstrated that Mayor Funky has a penchant for grandstanding in lieu of building a consensus.
I can only hope that this post has helped to diffuse a bit of the Mayor's "surprise attack" childish tactic when it comes to the very serious topic of the City's finances.
To wit, tonight's playlist is dedicated to surprises despite the fact that there isn't a dumb plan that Mayor Funky's Administration could come up with that would surprise me at this point:
As always, thank you for reading and have a safe and fun weekend.
Not bad
ReplyDeleteGood info Tony but nothing will save Mayor Knucklehead from the wrath of this council. Nothing.
ReplyDeleteI'll believe it when I see it.
ReplyDeleteBesides, Mr. Transparency will get crucified for not disclosing his plans with enough time for people to scrutinize them.
Hey Tony, look at all the TIF funds in the budget. The total for TIF is over $98 million. Do I smell corruption in KC? I think I do. A lot money for TIF came from the public safety tax.....I believe that is illegal use of funds specifically earmarked for public safety.
ReplyDeleteBudget talk is a snoozer.
ReplyDeleteIdiots who don't understand TIF should keep their mouths shut.
