Missouri has some of the strictest policies for certified nurse-midwives, requiring they get physician supervision, collaboration or sign-off.

The City of Kansas City
@kcur893 Kansas City taxpayers could end up paying $1.4 billion over the next few decades to cover the costs of constructing a new Royals ballpark — far more than the city has publicly advertised. City staff tried to sell the plan using a picture of ribs (which we’re pretty sure was made by AI), and big claims about how the stadium will increase tax revenue. But KCUR showed the plan, and the ribs, to an economist. He called it “propaganda.” So KCUR reporter Celisa Calacal decided to get her own, real, ribs to explain how the city financing plan would actually work. 🎤Hosted by Celisa Calacal 📹Filmed and produced by Zach Perez 🖥️Edited by Gabe Rosenberg Special thanks to Gates BBQ for allowing us to film inside.
