KC CURRENTS 12-3-06

By Sylvia Maria Gross and Alex Smith

Kansas City, MO – A new federal policy to prevent fraud by illegal immigrants creates a backlog in Medicaid enrollment in Kansas. Bega kwa Bega exhibits fabric art created by women in Kansas City and Tanzania. Missouri State Senator-elect Jolie Justus discusses running for the legislature as an openly-gay woman. And, an analysis of the expansion of the Minuteman Project, the California-based border patrol organization, by Devin Burghart, director of the Building Democracy Initiative at the Center for New Community in Chicago.
