Kansas City Mayor Pro-Tem Parks Shaw Seyz Feds Haven't Contacted Her

Not quite a denial amid an ongoing investigation that city staffers talking to just about every newsie in Kansas City . . . 

Also, it's kind of a slap in the face to everyone that Mayor Q is playing dumb on this issue as well. 

In fairness, here's the word and some sympathetic reporting . . . 

"Kansas City Mayor Pro Tem Ryana Parks-Shaw was not contacted by federal authorities regarding accusations that she and her husband, Public Works Director Michael Shaw, used their positions at the city for financial and personal gain, she said in a statement Thursday.

"Parks-Shaw’s statement comes one day after reports the couple was being investigated by the FBI. FOX4 reported Wednesday that past and present city employees had been pressed about the couple’s use of taxpayer dollars. It also reported documents provided to the FBI showed city contracts awarded to parties who made campaign donations to Park-Shaw, who is running in Kansas City’s 2027 mayoral race."
