Kids ask darndest questions
McCoy pupils want to know if mayor is rich, lives in a mansion and, of course, how tall he is.

Not even on the campaign trail had Kansas City’s new mayor faced an inquisition quite like the one he faced Tuesday.

More than 50 children at McCoy Elementary School listened with rapt attention to Mayor Mark Funkhouser as he delivered the keynote speech at their Safe School-Safe City event.

The celebration rewarded the pupils for raising more than $1,800 to purchase 21 Drug Free Zone signs to post within 2,000 feet of the school.

The mayor was among many city bigwigs in attendance, including school Superintendent Anthony Amato and Police Chief Jim Corwin.

“Is it fun being mayor?” asked the first questioner from way in the back row. Funkhouser wondered at first whether his questioner had asked, “Is it difficult?”

Are mayors rich?

1. Yeah! Funky! But how was it to be inthe room with "Do it my way" Amato?

I have the occasional homicidal thought about "future SFA consultant" Amato. A nice bus accident...or some divine intervention in the form of a lightning strike. He keeps jackin' with my kids' school.:grr:

2. I had to fight back the urge

to spit in his face.

His days sure seem numbered. This LINC thing might do him in.
