Funkhouser Keeps His 80% Council Voting Record – Turns Council Around On TIF Chair

Lynn Horsley (The Kansas City Star) – What a difference a week makes.

The City Council voted 8-3 last week not to support Mayor Mark Funkhouser’s recommendation to reappoint Claudia Onate Greim as chairman of the Tax Increment Financing Commission.

On Thursday, Funkhouser asked council members to reconsider, and this time they voted 8-2 to reappoint her. Council members said they were willing to put their differences with the mayor aside and move the appointment forward.
