Insider: Mayor Q Will Never Win Another KC Election Without Northland

An important insight from a political expert who offers perspective on the Mayor's latest move . . .

"He never gets elected in Kansas City, Missouri again. You don't need all of the Northland to vote for you to win but can't have an entire part of KCMO actively oppose you.
