Segment 1, beginning at 1:00: Citizens in Kansas City, Kansas, and Wyandotte County will decide many competitive races in the August 3 primary election, including mayor.
Speaking about issues in the KCK area, mayoral candidate Tyrone Garner talks about community members who are tired of riding the "merry-go-round" to absolutely nowhere.
"They feel that there is lack of engaged leadership, they feel that they have been left behind in the opportunity for economic success, and my position has been just listening to these people," Garner says.

Segment 2, beginning at 13:07: The University of Kansas added a specific clause to their head coach's contract in order to protect themselves from future damages.
Les Miles coached the Jayhawks’ football team over the last two seasons, until he parted ways with the organization. The departure came amid allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior with female students during his tenure as head coach while at LSU.
While his actions at his previous job came to light just months ago, The University of Kansas is saddled with the remainder of his contract — to the tune of $1.9 million. Dubbed the "Les Miles" clause, a section has been included in new staff's contracts to shield the university from past misconduct.
