The Kansas City Star would have us believe that this is "news" about local politics.

In fact . . . It's a press release without the clever wording.

However . . .

With so many "new friends" coming across the border . . . The move seems apropos.

"Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Friday appointed Democratic Sen. Greg Razer from Kansas City to the State Tax Commission. Minutes later, a new exploratory committee emerged aimed at a possible candidacy to succeed Razer with his backing.

"If the Missouri Senate votes to confirm Razer’s appointment, he would have to vacate his seat in the Senate — leaving his Jackson County district without a senator. Razer, first elected to the Senate in 2020 after previously serving in the House, had filed to run for reelection this year.
