Kansas City Weighs $20 Million Tax Break for Florida Data Center Firm

Kansas City's City Council is set to decide Nov. 12 whether to hand a Florida-based data-center company more than $20 million in local tax breaks, a vote that has pulled a grassroots watchdog group into the fight over who pays for the region's booming AI infrastructure.

Fill the jobs, audit the books: Stacy Lake’s back-to-basics pitch for a county on fire

Stacy Lake never planned to become a politician. She always wanted to help her community, but the courtroom is where she always planned to do it. A civil litigation attorney for more than a decade, Lake started out representing people caught in the municipal court system, where a single ticket can snowball into harsher charges and mounting fines. She later took on discrimination cases, where tight filing deadlines can kill a claim before it ever reaches a courtroom.

Detained KC rabbi speaks out on aiding Palestinian farmers in the West Bank

Editor's Note: Kansas City Rabbi Doug Alpert writes about his experience being detained by Israeli forces in the West Bank. Alpert, who is back in Kansas City, wrote in an email: “Other than spending the day of uncertainty with threat of deportation, we were not treated poorly. Given food and beverage and allowed to use the restroom when needed. We were detained about 7 hours.” When I signed up to attend a weeklong “Protect the Harvest” in the West Bank, a program to assist Palestinian families in harvesting their olives, I did not anticipate that I would be part of an international incident. I went to pick olives at the invitation of Palestinian families t as a needed response to years of human rights violations by the Israeli government preventing these farmers from accessing their lands; checkpoints preventing access, stealing Palestinian land only to transfer it to illegal settlements in the West Bank, and arrests without cause.

Since 1994, Hammerpress has been known for making greeting cards, posters and custom invitations with its mid-20th-century machines.
