A quick review of the candidates merely at a superficial level sparks this hot take and tacit admission . . .
Despite a great deal of insider knowledge and perspective after years of following City Hall politics, TKC doesn't know who will be the next city manager. However, we do know EXACTLY who it WON'T be ...
Hint: It's the white guy. It won't be the white guy.

safe bet. But I still wonder how hard Mayor Q interviewed him. Probably gently, softly and sweetly.
ReplyDeletewhelp, no way its going to be the white guy.
ReplyDelete^^^ Nailed it!
ReplyDeleteThe "token" White Guy isn't fat enough to be a City Manager!
3 blacks and only 1 white? That is blatant Racism!
ReplyDeleteAsians didn't even make the final four.
ReplyDelete3 Blacks and a token... The hypocrisy of City Hall equality shines so brightly it's blinding. I'm sure they would claim there weren't ANY other qualified white candidates, huh? Very believable, too!
ReplyDeleteWho would want that job, unless they are looking for a "special relationship" with the boss?
ReplyDeleteAnother "screw job" for the city.
Hey Mayor! Everyone knows you want to appoint the first black female City Manager (apparently because those are the most important qualifications bar none). So, why not at least give the appearance of being fair with a better mix of finalist?!? Were there too many better qualified candidates?!?
ReplyDeleteMary Vaughn was the first black female city manager. Q Ball swings and misses again.
DeleteCITY MANAGER WANTED
ReplyDelete1. Are you completely unqualified?
2. Did you write a bad check in the last week?
3. Is Ebonics your primary language?
If so, please apply at 12th & Oak.
The white guy is just in there for optics. Doesn't matter who they pick. They will be incompetent. That's mandatory at City Hall.
ReplyDelete^^Ugh huh. You said that 10 times already. Move on.
ReplyDeleteNo way to reply yet, huh Chimpy? Lol
DeleteWho ever Lucas hires you can bet they will make the Schulte look like a saint.
ReplyDeleteNo way the smart one with glasses gets the job.
ReplyDeleteWOW the looting of KCMO is well on its way. Blacks are looting 18th vine, kci, crime "fighting" organizations, so called discrimination claims/lawsuits are rampant, now the city manager's office.
ReplyDeleteLast one out turn of the lights, don't bother locking the doors there will be nothing left.
of course all from Democrat run crappy citys
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI can guarantee it won't be the white guy.
With the decisions that Lucas and the City Council have made over the past 5 months do I trust them to pick the best choice for City Manager...............................................................................................................................................................NO!
ReplyDeleteThe white candidate is there just to give the appearance that the city is not racist in its hiring practices. No way he gets the job.
ReplyDeleteThe woman doesn’t have any experience in running city government so she’s perfect for qball in someone’s back pocket to mold to his special needs, and I mean special needs!

ReplyDeletethe black female checks the most Demosleazeball identity scam boxes --esp. if she's a lezzie --then it's a sure thing.
remember, actual qualifications never matter to the Dems...
If one of them is a transsexual mooselimb they are a shoe in.
ReplyDeleteLook at the grave expression on Mayor McDrinkerson's face! This is the 'serious governance face' that he points at the nearest camera when he wants to look like he's doing something besides flailing about impotently.
ReplyDeleteNaming the first Black City Manager would be a mistake in this instance. Do the homework. She is simply not qualified and has too many conflicts in regards to the position. For example:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.augustachronicle.com/news/20190416/administrators-tenure-saw-many-leave
Since when do qualifications matter? We're leveling the playing field by appointing tokens. Get with the program!
DeleteThe lady looks like the dude on Uncle Ben's Rice if he were wearing a wig.
ReplyDeleteYou can bet the resume will not the primary basis for this hiring.
ReplyDeleteThis is the basis for the failure of this city.
The Mayor said many months ago it would be a black woman.
ReplyDeleteFinal question for the interview.
If the river flooded downtown what would you do.
1. Build a dyke and clean up the flood damage.
2. Stop garbage pick up. in the northland and eliminate all road work on the west side of the city.
3. Add spending to 18th and Vine
dyke
ReplyDeletenoun informal•offensive
a lesbian.
dike
a long wall or embankment built to prevent flooding from the sea.
And yet another Tony's Kansas City reader shows off his smarts.
Agreed. Dykes are offensive. Have yet to meet one that doesn't have a chip on her shoulder.
ReplyDelete^^Pathetic
ReplyDeleteBlack is the first and only requirement in the city of racist.
