"While recent criticism and audits have raised concerns about administrative and financial tracking systems, I believe it is important to separate operational issues from leadership character and intent.

From my perspective, Chris Cotten has done nothing but work tirelessly to improve Kansas City’s parks system and serve the community to the best of his ability. The condition and visibility of many park improvements across the city speak for themselves. The answer to operational challenges is support, staffing, accountability and investment — not scapegoating."
