OustedKansas City Manager Wayne Cauthen Still Looking For Work

In 2007, Kansas City Mayor Mark Funkhouser called for the ouster of then city manager Wayne Cauthen.  The City Council resisted.  By 2009, even the City Council had lost confidence in Cauthen's budgetary oversight and responded to Funk's renewed call for a Sayonara moment.  On the day of Cauthen's departure, City Hall Security escorted him from the building, and Cauthen rambled on to new pastures.  

As the Pitch reports,  that ramble has taken Cauthen to Savannah.  Unfortunately for Cauthen, the Savannah Morning News has shared with the readers some of the concerns that got the Funk excited years ago, and Cauthen seems unlikely to catch on.  Apparently, it took the Savannah paper only days to discover what took the Kansas City paper years.
