Jeff Roe at City Hall?

Posted on Oct 1, 2008 by BlogKC

Prime Buzz reports that Mayor Funkhouser might hire Jeff Roe, the much-reviled Republican political operative. While the mayor himself admits he could use some good political advice, this move seems at least a little bizarre considering his stated goal of repairing relationships with Democratic City Council. This should be interesting considering how the association with Roe pretty much destroyed Becky Nace’s promising mayoral campaign.

    Is this like when McCain hired the people who ran the slime campaign against him in 2000 to help him win in 2008?

    I knew you would remember the Nace thing. It kind of destroys the guys aura of invincibility.

    Maybe our Heart Land Smear Master can also waste a wad of tax cash on the silly, totally unnecessary Ruskin High School artsy fartsy wrought iron art fence! Oops, that would be ‘Funk’s ‘ and John Sharp’s legacy???!

    If you have any out rage on outrageous behavior, fiscal irresponsibility, or just plain silliness by elected officials, please, please, please, register your discust with the PAIC panel of the Public Works [Pendergast Division ???] Division of the City of Kansas City government.

    John Sharp’s/ Eugenia Mims’ local school board has rammed, 3 – 2, a Quarter of a Million Dollar, Artsy Fartsy Art Fence at Ruskin High School. This would be ‘funny’ even if free. There exist a perfectly serviceble chain link fence, adjacent to a fast flowing street level through way.

    Wanna dress up the area? Sprinkle some flower seeds at the base. Slip some wooden slats into the chain link. All for pennies on the dollar!

    With stupidity like this wad of foolishness from the Clown Colleges on Main Street no wonder the Billionaires on Wall Street are begging for [and getting] bail outs from poor people.

    This is prime fodder for Leno, Letterman, and the entire late night crowd. [Can you blame them?]

    Save the Limousines!
    Save the Swimming Pools!
    Save the Mistresses!

    But Kill The New Ruskin Fence!
