WEEKLY/SEMANAL - KANSAS CITY, MO

Wyandotte County Commissioners last week approved a STAR Bonds district for the new Kansas City Chiefs stadium. The vote was seven commissioners in favor, three against the measure.

To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield, “I went to a football game, and a concert broke out” and I liked it better.”

This letter is written out of deep concern, frustration, and disappointment. In January 2026, the Kansas City Council approved an ordinance changing the location of a planned permanent detention facility to a site on Front Street, placing the facility approximately 3,000 feet from multiple Frontier School campuses.
