“I just think it’s kind of maybe a disgruntled employee,” Loar told FOX4 Friday.

I mean I like Platt’s focus on development and the solar farm at the airport, but was there a misappropriation of $7 million?

“ #Breaking Council Member Katheryn Shields says she will be bringing forth a motion to have City Manager and any staff members involved in a much debated police radio deal disciplined. Loar says will co-sponsor. Dispute involved $7 million after deal was approved last week.”

Why is it everyone’s goal to antagonize this guy

Because most people aren't like this board of 10 people who are willing to overlook everything just to build cheap apartments

Sponsor: Councilmember Teresa Loar Amending Ordinance No. 200550 by repealing Section A.1 and enacting a new section A.1 to require the completion of all public improvements recommended by the traffic impact study before a final Certificate of Occupancy is issued for the KC Current Stadium.

The need for a TIS in areas where 0 parking is required is a bit absurd to me. Feels pretty contradictory.

I tried to include their campaign websites. If I'm missing anyone, let me know. I never realized all council seats are up for election, unless I'm reading it wrong.

Candidates that are bolded are incumbents running for election. Candidates that are italicized and underlined are KCTenants backed candidates. I imagine a few more candidates will jump into the race, but time is running out to do so unless said candidate has exceptional name recognition. They have a little over 5 months to make their case to voters.

These are all based on the Missouri Ethics Commission website.

FangKC wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 7:32 pm The other thing lost on me about bike lanes is how residents and business owners have no sense that there might ALSO be children riding bikes in those lanes, and that children are often biking in the streets -- perhaps going to school.
