KC CURRENTS 3-17-2007

By Sylvia Maria Gross

Kansas City, MO – Hear one-on-one interviews with mayoral candidates Alvin Brooks and Mark Funkhouser, and take a look at two of the major issues in the coming election: tax-increment financing and crime. Also, Kansas Citians preview the new film My Brother, which will be the first movie ever to star African Americans actors with developmental disabilities, and a state judge throws out two city ordinances on illegal immigration in Valley Park, Missouri.

Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.

Your support has always made KCUR's work possible — from reporting that keeps officials accountable, to storytelling to connects our community. Help ensure the future of local journalism.
