KC Tenants has launched its first rent strike at Quality Hill Towers and Independence Towers. Residents want improved maintenance, collectively bargained leases and national rent caps on federally backed buildings. But landlords are still charging rent.

Stunning news out of Missouri today: the state supreme court ruled that Amendment 4, the 2022 ballot measure that required Kansas City to raise its funding for the KCPD, was so misleading that it warrants a do-over election for this November.

Fresh off the presses: an FAQ about the Royals stadium sales tax ballot measure, from @thebeaconKC

→ Have the Royals proved they need this money?
→ Who decides how to spend it?
→ What happens if we vote no?

This vote will happen on April 2!

The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) voted unanimously on Wednesday afternoon to dissolve the RideKC Development Corp. But the move does not mean that the agency is ending its foray into transit-oriented, tax-subsidized development. https://t.co/msS4Ka7Kn5

It's been a completely normal weather night starting with storms that produced 64 mph winds in Kirksville earlier this evening and ended with storms that produced 60mph winds in the Metro tonight. Because storms normally move from east to west,

If you’re a trans person in Kansas, you have until JULY 1 to change your gender marker on your ID!

KCUR will be posting updates about the shooting of Ralph Yarl here. So far, Yarl is reportedly out of the hospital and recovering at home. The police have not yet filed charges against the shooter.

Attorney General Andrew Bailey on Thursday dialed up the temperature in the already heated debate over transgender health care with an emergency rule mandating “guardrails” to be used by medical and mental health providers who treat transgender patients. https://t.co/bRSWwAdVxN

Local advocates & officials were stunned when Jackson County rejected a conversion therapy ban two weeks ago. It failed three more times before the legislature finally approved it yesterday.

So what happened? I get into the wonky details for @kcbeacon https://t.co/BXB4PakKDr

“It’s been clear as mud the entire time,” Keeley Kromat, the mother of a trans child, told The Beacon. “Trying to rely on every bit of civics I can remember. Just constant Googling.”

For @kcur, here's more coverage of the vote and the failure to pass a ban on so-called conversion therapy, a scientifically discredited practice.

No horses this year. I am sad.

[Hilary Becker @HilaryMBecker]

Didn't go to Kansas City's St. Patrick's Day parade. But living in midtown means I have gotten a little mini parade on my street. So far a car club and one float have driven down my street. Hopefully the horses that came by last year make another appearance. 🍀
