Q: Mr. Federal Way, can you please explain how the City of Federal Way Mayor is continuing going over his established budget, but yet keeps on spending more money, especially on remodeling the Town Square Park for the third time? I am also curious about all of the employee turnover in the departments, especially the front office staff in the Mayor’s Office, Finance, HR, Clerk’s Office and Community Development Department. Why is it so hard to keep qualified staff in those departments? Is it a management issue? Why does a man in power (director) continually get away with verbally harassing his employees by yelling at them and belittling them? Why is an intern handling cash and…

A: Can you believe it goes on folks? Well it does and Mr. Federal Way has a question for the “truly fed up Federal Way Citizen.”

Just when did you expect Mr. Federal Way to be able to answer these questions? Sure, Mr. Federal Way has touched on how annoying the Town Square Park fiasco is, but do you really expect Mr. Federal Way to find the answers to why there is turnover in five departments?

Mr. Federal Way does not get paid enough to track down Jim from accounting who moved to Arizona to live on oceanfront property (he never found it), to swim with sea animals and get away from corporate life, just to see why he left.

With the amount of coffee fueled nights Mr. Federal Way would have to suffer through to fight through all of the bureaucratic red tape, I could darn well own the Mirror with how much they would have to pay Mr. Federal Way.

But with all of that said, Mr. Federal Way may still have the answer to all of your questions.

If you really would like to know all of this, just run for mayor. Defeat Mayor Jim Ferrell in the election, oppose the PAEC, build the PAEC, tear up Town Square Park and build a monument to yourself, build apartments, bulldoze them, try to block out the sun, aid a supervillain in taking over the East Coast and coincidentally end up owning the Denver Broncos. Do whatever it takes.

In the middle of all of that, take time to stop by HR and ask, ‘why does everyone keep leaving here?’ and you will have your answer.

Or, if you don’t fancy that, you should get busy with the public records requests.

In the meantime, Mr. Federal Way will begin working on the time machine that will allow questions like these to be answered in a timely manner. Until then, Mr. Federal Way will continue to have the time management skills of Andy Reid in crunch time.

Q: Did you see that the Buffalo Bills hired the first full-time female coach in the NFL on Wednesday? Do you see that as a problem? Do you think the Seahawks would ever do the same?

A: Yes, Mr. Federal Way did see the news, but Mr. Federal Way isn’t sure why you feel the need to ask if it is a problem.

Sure, the internet will likely be up in arms with armchair QBs yelling about someone needing to play football to coach it, but the last time Mr. Federal Way checked, John Harbaugh was never a player and he’s won a Super Bowl.

Kathryn Smith is the lady’s name and her resume speaks for itself. She worked 12 years with the New York Jets, working mostly with scouting. You can assume she can break down film much better than most fans you see in the stands on game day.

She was also an assistant to the head coach last year. He probably knows exactly what she can provide for the team. This isn’t a PR move. This is a woman who earned a promotion through hard work when the man in front of her couldn’t get it done.

As for Seattle ever following suit, well, it’s only a matter of time. We’re seeing more and more women in the front office, along the sidelines and refereeing men’s professional sports. There’s no reason that trend will stop and there’s no reason it should stop.

If you have a problem with it, Mr. Federal Way suggests you just do us all a favor and quit watching sports. If you don’t feel like doing that, feel free to bury any of your sexist comments in your backyard alongside all tapes of the Seahawks first half against Carolina.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, was it you who chased off former editor Carrie Rodriguez?

A: None of your business.
