KC faulted after probe of IRS tapes missing from City Hall
http://www.kansascity.com/115/story/451282.html
Alright, I just have to interrupt my rant about the latest audit to start a conversation about this gigantic management failure.
We have to hope and pray that these tapes were inadvertantly lost or destroyed. These tapes contain all of the information on your 1040 (ss #, children's names, income, etc.). If the information fell into the hands of criminals, Kansas Citians would be at a huge risk of being victims of identity theft. If you don't care about City Hall, maybe you do care that his ineptness has placed your personal information at risk and possibly into the hands of criminals.
This screw-up was absolutely predictable. Cauthen has blown up every department in City Hall. Finance has not had consistant leadership for four years. He has hired his Denver buddies, gotten rid of capable staff, and allowed the Finance Department to crumble. Remember, they didn't do monthly Financial reports, required by Charter (that's the law, duh!), for two years.
Before Cauthen chased out the last capable Finance Director in 04, Kansas City had a model security program and was recognized by the IRS several times for this achievement. The article states that the IRS is no longer sharing this information with KC. Someone needs to ask Cauthen how much revenue will be lost -- it is millions. KC no longer has the information needed to effectively enforce the e tax. Cauthen's inability to manage even the most basic functions of the organization is the root cause of this failure and ohhhhhhhh so many others.
True to form, Cauthen will throw someone to the wolves on this one. Who will be sacrificed?
Welcome to Wayne's World! You can't trust Cauthen with City Hall. You can't trust him with your personal information.

Whoa! What a week!
Sorry that I have been absent so long.
I had to remove a post about LT reigning as Acting. Someone sent in a comment that was inappropriate in my eyes. It named the "high level staff person" under investigation for child molestation. I thought I could just edit the comment but ended up deleting the whole thing. I am learning.
By now, all of City Hall knows who the person is. I still don't feel comfortable outing the person. Why? I think that is something that Wayne Cauthen would do and enjoy, if it suited his purposes or got him attention. The time will come if the person is charged for all of us, me included, to damn the lowlife but everyone has a right to due process, even those guilty of the worst crimes imaginable.
I have had comments come into this blog that this same person (the alledged child molester) who heads a very important division and is a direct report to Cauthen has numerous people working under them who have been found to frequent porn sites on City computers. Once again, nothing is happening. Of course since nothing happened to LT, I am not sure that anything can be done. City Hall can just be a free-for-all of pornography, sexist and racist jokes, political messages, and slandering of public officials. It is okay for Wayne's World.
Although I am not surprised, I am totally depressed that Cauthen didn't get the job in Austin. It truly will be Wayne's World now. Where are the audits? Someone sent in a comment that Buckler did get interim in Water. I guess the announcement was only sent to Water employees. Why? Look for Water to be CIMOized.
Get a load of Cauthen's resume http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/statesman/pdf/01/2008manager_cauthen_resume.pdf for the job in Austin. It is such total bs. I can't stop laughing.
