KC Star reports Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley used lawyers to review emails and documents from when he was a law professor at the University of Missouri. Hawley was due to release documents under Missouri’s Sunshine Law.
From the reporter:
These emails all appear to be innocuous (Hawley bemoaning a rejection letter from Yale Law Journal, chatter about a Federalist Society picnic, a lot of “sweeties” and “sweet peas”) which again raises the question: Why claim spousal privilege? https://t.co/sfHhYP8QA7 https://t.co/Y3JsAG12gO

Experts said Hawley’s use of campaign funds was legal. Democratic groups that filed the records requests for documents said it was hypocritical of Hawley, who has cast himself as a proponent of Missouri’s Sunshine Law as attorney general and during his Senate campaign to unseat Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.

Kansas received a “C” on an infrastructure report.
Kansas earned a C on the report card, which ranks the quality of state infrastructure in nine categories, such as bridges, roads, energy and drinking water. This is up from a C- in 2013, the last time the Kansas ASCE chapter released a report card. And while some areas, such as levees and bridges, increased in quality, roads went down.
Over several years, lawmakers have diverted more than $2 billion from KDOT to fill deep holes in the Kansas budget.

KC Star reports on reaction to reports the NFL rejected Chiefs offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif’s request to have “M.D.” added to his jersey. He received his medical doctorate in May.
“The marketing value alone makes ‘Duvernay-Tardif, M.D.’ a great idea for the league. Allowing him to show off his status as the first active player to earn a medical degree would be unquestionably great P.R., especially in an offseason that involved fallout from the new anthem policy and another prominent player facing suspension for violating the personal conduct policy.
