Supporting Terry Riley
Just asking a question here. What does Terry Riley do for a living? Is $50,000.00/year that he earns on City Council really covering his cost-of-living expenses? He must be really good at utilizing coupons.

Ask the guys benefitting from all the special deals that he arranged, like Citadel! That's not the only deal that he has pushed through the council with WC's blessing.
Come on City Hallians current and former -- tell all!
Just check out the video on demand of the legislative session for October 4 regarding WC's contract. Keep in mind that Mr. Riley has been a Councilman over 4 years (and a committee chair). Interesting that he still doesn't (or does he?) "get" the technicalities of how an Ordinance happens (introduced, assigned to committee, etc.).
1:06 forgot to add that no one talked to him becuase they knew he is in the tank for WC. wonder how much MWH and Burns and McDonald put into his carrying around money account?
Did you catch Riley's performance Oct 18th? He droned on so long he nearly put himself to sleep, he had to prop his head up! Talked about damn near everything except killing Wayne's mega bucks automatic renewal contract... does Riley think super Wayne can double his pay like he has his favored La Toadies???
You'd think after 4 years Riley would realize that he was voted in by the CITIZENS not CAUTHEN! But then again he had the old council members to teach him how to manipulate, spin the press and twist things around. But then again look how many of the old bunch thought they were shoe ins to be the new mayor only to be shown by the voters that WE didn't want anymore of their crap.
As a citizen and a city employee I'd like to see the money that has been so freely given to Wayne and his chosen few spread among the lower ranks. If they "deserve" 19% raises make it city wide! What is good for one should be good for all, when hell freezes over. Let Wayne and his La Toadies get out and work picking up trash for a week, fix pot holes, work in one if the garages, work at a treatment plant or push snow for a weekend. Then they might appreciate why city employees are upset, that we are pissed to see what Wayne gets when out raises barely pay for the increase in our health care. Get out and get dirty Wayne and La Toadies earn those bucks and perks!
A chump of local government and institutions, along with other Kansas City taxpayers, of ineptitude, incompetence, laziness, thievery and dysfunction.

He's also boosting his profile among his peeps to secure the 3rd and 5th districts in his mayoral run against Funk.
He might as well give up the thought of mayor. He doesn't stand even the slimmest chance.
