Imagine you are an alderman and you find out about an incident regarding an escaped prisoner from a WL police officer in the Kansas City Star...not from the Mayor...who of course knew, as well as the Chief of Police.
Imagine you are an alderman and find out about an accident that involved a Public Works vehicle which included damage to a private residence...from a staff person, days later, not from the Mayor...who knew of course, as well as the Chief of Police.
Both of these incidents were at the end of 2016, but diagnostic of a problem facing the aldermen, lack of communication from the Mayor. The attitude I perceived based on the Mayor's behavior...I'm Mayor...you are not. Alderman Clark voiced his concerns, at BOA meetings, a number of times concerning this issue. Comments obviously fell on deaf ears. And there is more.
My observations during BOA meetings are that Botbyl is often abrasive, aggressive and belligerent.
So, imagine you are an alderman faced with the potential of Botbyl being elected to another term? What would you do?

"Abrasive, aggressive and belligerent" That is enough for me. I am voting for Clark for sure now. I think when all the current aldermen and all the former mayors support Clark its game over for Botbyl. The question is not why Weatherby would want to change mayors now? It is why should anyone support this guy at all?
And speaking of the police department; an insider told me that Botbyl selected the new chief without consulting any Aldermen. In addition, by selecting an outsider he caused turmoil and morale problems in the department and one or more of our cops quit. I am not sure of the details - - perhaps one of you with full truth can chime to elaborate.
