“Folks can go to LWVKC.org and put in their questions and we have a list of topics and we share that with our moderators. They range from ‘How do you feel about trash’ and ‘What are you going to do about the downtown ballpark’ to more theoretical kinds of things like, ‘how do you feel about TIF and giving money to developers.’ So it runs the gamut.”
The group points to the 36 candidates running for 12 seats on Kansas City’s council, saying every voter needs to be informed about races and issues impacting the community.
Kansas City mayoral and city council candidates with the most votes in the April 4 primary will move on to the Kansas City General Election on June 20.
