Kansas City, MO –
Cleanup is under way in northern Missouri after heavy storms hit the region last night. Kansas City's Power & Light District is once again embroiled in a racially-tinged controversy.Shortly after this weekend's funeral for Wichita Dr. George Tiller, his accused murderer is warning of more violence. The top public health official in Kansas is urging Salina City Commissioners not to revise that city's new smoking ban. Missouri's attempt to expand health coverage to thousands of people who are typically unable to get affordable health insurance has failed - that's according to a new analysis of a 2007 state law aimed at extending health coverage to up to 20,000 hard-to-insure residents. In sports, the Kansas City Royals were blanked by the Toronto Blue Jays yesterday, losing four to zero and falling to 24 and 32 on the year.
