A sad report is that traffic-related fatalities are up to 44 so far this year compared to 32 at this point last year. High rates of speed and non-usage of seatbelts continue to be major contributing factors of death.

Thank you to the many who helped make our recognition events over the weekend possible, from the many members of the military who honored the fallen, to our first responders who kept our major events safe, and to all of you who attended. I hope you had a meaningful weekend.

Welcome back.

I appreciate the Kansas Citians and visitors who came today to join our annual Memorial Day recognition at the National WWI Museum to honor those who died defending our country and the Gold Star families present. We will never forget their courage and sacrifice for our freedoms.

Oh, no!

🇺🇸 Today,  we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Love to see it.

Bring the Association back home to Kansas City and you’ll get KC folk all the time.
