They insisted on 10 floors for parking (and only 8 for humans) for a building they'll never occupy — one block from the streetcar. The neighborhood and its council members opposed it. It's time to develop and incentivize according to our goals.

The idea that Senate Republicans could allow the man who incited this terrorist violence on Capitol Police to face no accountability is shameful.
Capitol police Union: 140 officers injured in Jan. 6 mob attack. Officers without helmets “sustained brain injuries. One officer has two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs. One officer is going to lose his eye and another was stabbed with a metal fence stake”

I am thrilled that the @kcstreetcar has received a $174M grant from the @USDOT to fully fund its expansion project. The Main Street Extension bolsters economic opportunities across the metro and provides necessary public transportation to two of the cities major employment hubs.

This is why we do what we do. It’s about intentionally laying the groundwork for a more successful future... tomorrow and 50 years from now. KC needs to continue to go big... our City and KC region deserve it. #kcstreetcar #kcrising

They've accepted the reality that you can't see what's in front of you in these stock monster trucks, so now they have cameras on the FRONT? There's no practical reason for that front end other than looking tough. This is now bordering farcical comedy, but much more menacing. – at Kansas City, MO

The main character traits of this Presidency: hypocrisy and dishonesty.
Trump, 2020: "I played golf over the weekend. The Fake & Totally Corrupt News makes it sound like a mortal sin." Trump, 2014: "When you're president you sort of say like I'm going to sort of give it up for a couple of years and I'm really going to focus on the job."

Trump could have made a triumphant statement today without distorting the historical record concerning the Obama era and the Iran nuclear deal. People like me could have then praised. He choose a different course, politicizing yet again national security. Disappointing.

Kansas city has more freeway lane miles per capita than any other city in the country…and possibly the world. But there are reasons to be hopeful. @clmarohn talks how with @kevinklink, @JoeUrbanThree, and Dennis Strait of @gouldevansassoc. bit.ly/33jS5T

The regional rail plan (using existing freight tracks) that the discussion last week forced me to make. Connecting over 8 million people, four state capitols and almost every major university in the region.

The Trump Admin is clearly violating federal statute by blocking the head of US Intelligence from providing Congress with a whistleblower complaint described as being of "urgent concern & credible.” The stonewalling must end. What is the President hiding? speaker.gov/newsroom/92019-0
