A Tale of Two Policies

A month or so ago a City employee was discovered to have inappropriate materials on his/her computer. After appropriate investigation of the computer history, the employee was quickly dismissed. Now it seems that someone in the City Manager's office has inappropriate materials on his/her computer and the City Manager seems to be obstructing the investigation. Could it be Tony's KC? On-line gambling? The Big "P"? What could it be? Why are there two sets of policies/rules - one for non-Wayne staff members and another set of policies/rules for those under the protection of Godfather Wayne? Are these separate policies published someplace so everyone knows what the rules are for the Waynettes & LaToadies?

It's pornography, and dozens of people know and have seen it. Will SOMEONE please take the helm and either fire him, make him fire her, and account for why he is circumventing the internal auditor process, HR process, why I.T. REFUSED to get involved as they have with other previous employees, and city precedent HE followed with previous employees with the SAME infraction. He lowered the HR standard to put her in the job, she doesn't come to work, operates by a different set of rules, makes more money than others at her level, travels on a different set of books and expenses, and now has a different set of HR rules with pornography on her computer. Why? And the people who go to work everyday and are tyranized by this man are actually supposed to respect their leader, as are the business leaders in our community, other cities across our country, and most of all the citizens in our community...the very ones we have to go to for a sales tax initiative, light rail, a multi-billion dollar sewer initiative and who knows what else? And this is our LEADER? And there is actually some question about renewing his contract????? who on the council is benefiting from him being here? Council, please help us.

Hallelujah!!!!!!!! You have just put into words, print, what is one of the most demoralizing, draining business-as-usual topics of conversation all over the Hall. It is impossible to be productive when everyone is whispering about the Manager and the big "P" day in and day out. This is not a new topic by any means. Everyday there is someone else either in the elevator or in the parking garage who exclaims "I've seen it, I've seen it." I am just waiting for the time when this all ends. We are robbing the citizens in more ways than are obvious. I feel the momentum building and look to one or two brave ex-employees producing the facts, both verbal and printed/copied and possibly in their possession.

The council people who are stand-up enough to handle this head-on will go down in history as heros, and if not, they will be laughed out of office in 4 yrs. If what I hear is even remotely true, he WILL be exposed and all the cover ups in the world won't be able to save him, or his toadies. Yes, I think John is good at talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Why doesn't the KC Star go after this stuff? I am continually flabbergasted at everything they let go on unreported. In the meantime, they drone on about Frances Semler (she shouldn't be on the Park Board but the story is getting very old) and Hannah Montana. Is the Star colluding or enabling or both?

It's not HIS PC, it HERS, LT has pornography all over her city computer and hasn't been fired like all the other previous city employees who have been caught with pornography on their city computers before her. Wayne himself fired one on thes spot and instead is impeding a long drawn ought investigation of his precious LT IN HIS OWN OFFICE with the internal auditor WHO REPORTS TO HIM - and I.T. who with the previous situaion cleaned the system and collected the evidence refused to touch her system - what part of this don't you get?

How do you think the city employees who work every day but don't get the raises we DESERVE because Wayne and his chosen ones are given jobs they aren't qualified for (until he changes the job requirements), perks they haven't earned and Lord knows he hasn't earned one penny of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in "bonuses" for doing the job he was hired to do! Mayor Funkhouser and Council PLEASE do something about this blood sucking leech before the city winds up paying him hundreds of thousands of more dollars trying to make Kansas City into Denver East!
