KANSAS CITY - Mayor Quinton Lucas joined Kansas City’s Morning News today, where he talked about the Tuesday election.
Lucas says he is hopeful that voters approve funding for school improvements, which hasn’t happened since 1967. He’s also pushing for approval for funding for public safety improvements including a new jail, which he says is needed due to overcrowding. You can listen to the entire conversation here:
Those opposed to the $250-million Public Safety Sales Tax say it would impact working-class voters the most, without doing anything to address the root causes of incarceration.
Lucas also detailed what the city is seeking in candidates for the city manager position, following the recent firing of Brian Platt.
