Great quotation from our chair @tah.bsky.social and other transit leaders in this article from The Beacon about transit challenges ahead of the World Cup in Kansas City next year.
Bottom line: we don't fund transit enough. The region needs a better funding model:

As World Cup demands loom, transit leaders face hard decisions to pay for extra bus service
Kansas City has been asking the state and federal government for financial help to pay for extra buses during the World Cup. The clock is ticking, and the transit agency hasn’t gotten a dime.

Too early for final results, but we're seeing — once again — losses for conservatives in school board races in multiple states. Stay tuned.

It’s not the biggest story of the night but shout out to @bradlander.bsky.social for what he did in the primary & after supporting @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Having a Jewish New Yorker stand up for & alongside with Zohran (not to mention immigrants in NYC) has been so inspiring.

Big downside to today being the NYC mayoral is that there is no way @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social keeps up with this level of content creation after today.

BlueSky is generally enjoyable, but the lack of Kansas City critical user mass has really taken away from what I like about social media. I don’t want my social media to primarily be a feed of national dialogue! I want to discuss/complain about local things online.

So much of what Zohran’s campaign is doing comes down to behind the scenes hires and being willing to not follow normal rules of campaigning.
Looking forward to the eventual post-victory pieces where they go more into depth regarding campaign decisions!

Kansas City Regional Transit Alliance Vice Chair Michael Kelley says the poll shows that people across the metro will support public transit if their local governments invest in it, especially at a time when the state and federal governments are pulling back transit funding.

I’ve gotta assume this is it for Frank. This + results from the early vote out of eastern Jackson County should be it.
First batch of results from the Kansas City Election Board:
YES 9199 (75%), NO 3011 (25%). There's no indication in the posting what percentage of the precincts are represented in those numbers. @kcur.org
