Citizen Satisfaction
(From the "Funk's" Blog in 08 )
"On Aug. 29, I was joined by Julie Floyd and other representatives of the Community Coalition to Fix Barry Road and Mayor Jerry Boss of Weatherby Lake in pushing for the City to take action on an unfinished project at Barry Road and Rush Creek. The coalition was formed after a deadly accident that occurred on April 10, 2004. Since then, they have gathered 10,000 signatures from residents urging action to be taken on this unsafe section of Barry Road.
That is more than four years ago, and the bridge remains unrepaired. I have been told this will take another two years to fix. That is unacceptable. It took about that long to build the Sprint Center.
Surely we can do better.
I pledge to work with City staff, the City of Weatherby Lake and residents to make the repairs in a timely manner.
We are continuing to expose our residents to unsafe conditions and making life much harder for the residents of Weatherby Lake. We need to be a better regional neighbor"
Mayor Mark Funkhouser
According to Mayor Jerry in the latest issue of WLL "There is progress happening" Best I can tell the progress is double the budget (payment to KCMO) for "texturing" the walls at the BRB and after last evenings downpour, substantial progress in the runnoff coming down what used to be Barry Road west of the bridge...the ground has been laid bare and the rains transported sediment to...the Lake. Now that's progress. Satisfaction? You make the call.

What do you expect? Jerry and the Funk are of the same ilk. When the cameras are rolling say the right things. What have they done? Take a look.
I watched the sludge pour into the lake again, the brown line making its way down the lake, from our good neighbor Funkhouser.
I can't believe more people are not up in arms at what is happening to our precious Lake. Will someone to lead the cause please come forward? I am too old, but I sure will help. Can we get Rick Noble to help us? When he led us, the WLIC was a tiger, now it is nothing more than a pussy cat. The Mayor is no different - I can't believe he wants to spend $600,000 on new entry monuments. Someone, please help us.
With the lake turning brown with every rain, it now looks like we live on skid row and no one in charge seems to be leading the charge to protect our property values and way of life. And Jerry - who's the - Bos? ran unopposed. Sad.
