Kansas City, MO –

  • A U.S. Judge has sentenced the leader of a high profile mortage fraud scheme to 13 years in federal prison. Raymond Zwego led a real estate investment company that bought about sixty area homes and obtained nearly twenty million dollars in mortgages by using falsified documents and straw buyers.

  • Barely two weeks remain before covers are closed on Missouri voting rolls. But registration is running high.

  • Missouri's Student Loan Agency (MOHELA) has yet again fallen behind on its payments to the state, citing financial strains.

    • Defunded, but not defeated.
    Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
