Straight Talk with the Mayor

Straight Talk with the Mayor

In an effort to stay in touch with Kansas City residents Mayor Funkhouser has developed a concept of providing "Straight Talk with the Mayor." For a while the concept took the form of a television show on Kansas City Channel 2. Now, with cutbacks forcing the television show to the sidelines temporarily, the Mayor provides a weekly column to local newspapers.

If you want to see the column in the local paper, email us at mayor@kcmo.org and we will pass on your request to the paper.

Mayor's Town Hall Aug. 26, 2010

Mayor Mark Funkhouser attended a town hall session on Aug. 26 at Harmony Vineyard Church in the Northland. Those who attended asked questions about city sidewalks, the Port Authority of Kansas City, the potential recall of the earnings tax and other issues. The statewide election on the earnings tax, which is being financed and pushed by St. Louis billionaire Rex Sinquefield, is scheduled for Nov. 2. "It's designed to just destroy Kansas City," Mayor Funkhouser told the crowd. "I'm opposed to it and will fight with every tool I have."

Communicate with Mayor Mark Funkhouser

Contact with the residents of Kansas City is what keeps me grounded. Real people living in the real world know what they want from their city government. I want to hear how you feel about the issues affecting your neighborhood, your businesses, and your families. Good communication is a two-way street. I hope we can keep all lanes open between my office and the people I serve.
