I love journalism that teaches me something about our KC community, what it once was and what it could be again. With this story, @kcmikehendricks does just that. So worth a read! Just ask Miss Pat on Agnes Avenue. kansascity.com/news/local/ar…

Most Missourians haven't heard of Timmy Teepell, but he's had a huge impact on the state's politics and Hawley's career. Hawley's most trusted adviser first cut his teeth with the home school movement and honed his craft as Bobby Jindal's righthand man kansascity.com/news/politics…

‘You better know who’s behind the curtain’: The man who guided Josh Hawley’s rise

‘People in Missouri better pay attention and not be fooled...watch the puppeteers,’ said a former Louisiana legislator about Timmy Teepell.

Former students of one MO reform school say it's about time owners were charged. “They used to preach and preach and preach at us about ‘What’s done in the dark will come to the light.’ ... Everything they’re doing in the dark is finally coming to light." kansascity.com/news/state/mi…

Circle of Hope students happy with charges, but still want to know: What took so long?

“How many girls are now just completely destroyed and their lives ruined because of people not doing their jobs?” one former student asked.

‘A life and death issue.’ Missouri about to let young man with autism become homeless

“Unless people will step up and do what they need to do, this kid is probably going to be dropped off at City Union Mission,” said one local child advocate.
