Shit Show: KCI Concessions Contract Approved, Heads to Council After Dramatic Meeting
“Two Kansas City Council members left a dramatic committee meeting on Wednesday as members sparred verbally over the controversial airport concessions contract. Council members Teresa Loar, waving to the people packed in the chambers as she exited, and Katheryn Shields,” reports Cortlynn Stark and Kevin Hardy in The Kansas City Star.
“While the theatrics slowed down the the committee meeting, it still approved the proposed airport concessions contract, sending it to the full council for approval next week. The concessions bid is one of the largest opportunities available to private companies at Kansas City International Airport, the city’s largest ever infrastructure project.”
