TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! KANSAS CITY WATER DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR BERNARDO GARCIA SUSPENDED WITH PAY!!!: "
Yesterday, there was a big dust up at City Hall that has heretofore been unreported.
ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON KANSAS CITY WATER DEPARTMENT HEAD BERNARDO GARCIA WAS SUSPENDED WITH PAY!!!
The most AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS tell us that the Garcia suspension was over a personnel issue.
It's common knowledge/perception that Director of the Water Services Department Garcia just doesn't get along well with people. I have a bit of first hand knowledge of this fact given that there was an effort to reach out to Garcia from the local Latino community that just didn't take.
Now his suspension pending a further investigation is one of the biggest developments at the upper echelon of local government still in flux after the departure of Former City Manager Wayne Cauthen.
A rather brilliant TKC Reader notes: 'This latest happening is just proof of the caliber of people Wayne hired. Without Wayne to cover for them, they are imploding.'
With more layoffs pending, I expect that some people will call this a house cleaning . . . And because this is related to personnel don't expect to get too many details from mainstream media. Nevertheless, the VERY BEST TKC TIPSTERS have told us about this shake up at City Hall before local politicos had a chance to spin. Natch.
