Saw this first on KMBC Channel 9. Mayor Mark Funkhouser has suspended City Manager Wayne Cauthen.
Prime Buzz has Funkhouser's letter to council members about Cauthen's suspension.
Here's a clip:
As you know, I believe we need new leadership for the city. As of today, I am exercising the authority given to me as the Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, to suspend the City Manager, effective immediately.In the interim, the City Manager has been asked to vacate these premises immediately.
Then he cites a section of the city charter, which says he needs six votes from the council at their next meeting to ratify the suspension.
Your move, Mr. Cauthen.

Waaaaaaaaaaay past time.
Will be interested to discover what moved at least 6 council members when in 2007 they crossed the Funk on the same issue...
Assuming the council isn't crossing him again, that is.
I hope he sues that crazy nut head Funkhouser and retires. That man has wasted city dollars and kept people from doing their jobs for years. KC stop the madness. At least KC doesn't look like a third world country downtown anymore. Get a life Funky.
