Steve Kraske talks with Kansas City Star City Hall reporter Lynn Horsley, Council members Bill Skaggs and Ed Ford as well as attorney and former City Council member Dan Cofran about the sudden suspension of KC City Manager Wayne Cauthen.
It was bitter and contentious at City Hall when the council fired City Manager Wayne Cauthen, pictured at right in video shot by KMBC, TV-9. Six council members said they were shocked by the unexpected last-minute move by the mayor. Some called it an "ambush."
On the day the fissure between factions on the council widened over the city manager issue, the mayor and council took one of their strongest united stands. The group voted not to participate in the proposed Power and Light District dress code committee and opted to continue monitoring compliance with the public accommodations law with the caveat: "Violations will be prosecuted." Councilman John Sharp said he had already declined a seat on the Cordish committee. KCUR's Steve Bell reports.
