The Star is simply printing press releases now

This headline is pretty much straight from the desk of Country Club Kay:

KC hits minority hiring targets

Below is evidence to the contrary, which should provide one of many reasons why living in a one newspaper town puts you at a disadvantage as far as facts are concerned. The Star is heavily invested in the downtown construction boom, so obviously they have a motive to lead the (inaccurate) cheers no matter what kind of crusty old data and self reporting (unverified) scams they must publish in order to do so.

Check it:

Minority contractors object on arena work share

Hispanic contractors sue KC for Block HQ project

Hispanic group protests ordinance on Sprint Center

As for construction companies owned by women, that's just funny and obviously nothing more than a front in order to garner even better (read: fake) numbers.
