Kansas City Star Rebukes Mayor Q Secret Meetings

Mayor Q has made his case for police funding "reallocation" with demands for accountability and transparency from law enforcement. Sadly, his office hasn't shown concern much concern for these principles.

Did Kansas City Council break law with its backroom messages on police funding?

A majority of the Kansas City Council may have broken the law with a behind-the-scenes group email on the milestone May 20 ordinances on police funding. In fact, the morning of the vote, a city lawyer appears to have been worried about just that.
