For over a year, a group of “concerned citizens” of Kansas City have been trying to recall Mayor Mark Funkhouser. Today the Kansas City Business Journal is reporting that it is over. The Funk will stay and the “concerned citizens” will go. Supporters of the initative say they can no longer fund the Recall the Fu*k Funk campaign.

Harris Wilder has this astounding tidbit of information to pass…

Lawyers don’t work for free.

Wilder said the campaign needed another $10,000 – $15,000 to continue and “The Establishement” chose not to contribute to a court battle.

I am telling you, KC has so many problems, that it’s a shame the City has been forced to spend time and effort on things like this that are successful go no where. Education and Infrastructure needs to be this City’s focus, not the one person nepatism and a going no where recall. A City of 450,000 residents and they can’t get the 16,000 signatures? That’s only 3.5% if you were wondering…Of course, if they would have used ACORN they would have found 600,000 signatures to use and the people responsible for counting them would have come back with 1.2 million counted.
