After a KC-area Catholic high school hired a president who was accused of sexual abuse years ago, we dug deeper into his background and the school’s — and found there’s even more to the story. From Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Melinda Henneberger: kansascity.com/opinion/opn-c…
A photo of the top of Bishop Miege High School, with a cross sticking up. White text reads: "OPINION: Former priest accused of serious sex abuse saw new KC-area Catholic school leader 'like a son.' There's more to the story — and it's causing a rift in the community"

A nine-month investigation by ⁦⁦@katie_reports⁩ and me uncovered that police chases in KC metro kill bystanders. One department chases more than any other and has no plans to change its chase policy. We reviewed the policies of 60 agencies. kansascity.com/news/local/ar…

This further cements what I was trying to explain last week. That 8-1 vote included legislators extending the timeline to reach agreements. It did not finalize that the measure would appear on the April ballot. And that is very much in doubt now.

Frank White vetoed the stadium ballot measure. Three county legislators — Jeanie Lauer, Megan Marshall and Jalen Anderson — are supporting his veto. I'm hearing another might release a similar statement. The Chiefs and Royals need six (of nine) votes to override a veto on Monday.

Though support for capital punishment appears to be on the decline, Missouri ramped up its use of the death penalty this year, executing 4 people. Legislators from both parties will sponsor bills to end the death penalty in MO's 2024 legislative session. kansascity.com/news/state/mi…

Missouri ‘an outlier state’ in using death penalty. Only 4 others held executions in 2023

According to a Gallup poll, a majority of people now believe the death penalty is applied unfairly. Fifty-three percent said they still support the death penalty, down from 60% a decade ago.
