This is the 2nd annual #NationalNightOut2025 KC Councilman Crispin Rea has hosted in the neighborhood he grew up in. He says the Police Athletic League was a welcome part of the community

Last year, they brought the big police vehicles the kids enjoy to play around with. They skipped that this year

MOGOP repealed voter-approved earned sick time and cut funding to critical services to be the first state in the nation to get rid of capital gains taxes

Now they want another $$$ session to cheat because their platform of gutting funding for healthcare to give rich people tax breaks sucks
