Funk’s family should stay home

Another day, another article about Mayor Funkhouser (3/30, Local, “Mayor pushes back; Funkhouser will ask court to throw out rule that City Council passed last year”). He needs to spend his time and resources doing the job he was hired to do instead of trying to institute a bring-your-family-to-work-day policy at City Hall.

If Funkhouser can’t part ways from his family during business hours, he should stay home and play games with them rather than waste our time and let city business tank even further.

No, she is not more important than anyone else, although she thinks she is.
Her role is no different than any other wife, again although she is the typical elitist.

NE,

Big difference between the role of the First Lady and that of the Mayors wife.

At least your post wasn't ugly as they usually are.

All politicians wives should stay out of constituent business including Michelle Obama.

Ms. Gavin has little to worry about! ----- Funkhouser could put his whole family to work at City Hall and a bunch of lady “HOMEMAKERS” on the City Council will still be running the show to curry favor and please the liberal editorial meddling of our local “News”-rag!
Are there any “MEN” left on the City Council? ---- You won’t find out reading the KC Star! – Ms. Gavin should celebrate rather than complain!

The Mayor did not choose Semler, his wife did as a reward for her support during the Mayorial campaign.

Why do people like El Mon Kee continue with this lie?

And OMG, OMG, he appointed a member of the Minutemen to the Park's Board! Somebody get a rope!

Mayor Funky has clearly shown he cannot do his job as mayor without the hand of his wife shoved up his backside like that of Charlie McCarthy, as such I think WE as voters of Kansas City, MO need to recall him and get a mayor that can and will do the job.
