Missouri attorney general files suit against New York
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has filed a lawsuit against the state of New York, claiming it violated Missourians first amendment rights.
Bailey alleges New York undermined former President Donald Trump’s ability to campaign for presidency with prosecution, gag orders, and sentencing of Trump.
“Right now, Missouri has a huge problem with New York. Instead of letting presidential candidates campaign on their own merits, radical progressives in New York are trying to rig the 2024 election by waging a direct attack on our democratic process,” said Attorney General Bailey in a press release. “I will not sit idly by while Soros-backed prosecutors hold Missouri voters hostage in this presidential election. I am filing suit to ensure every Missourian can exercise their right to hear from and vote for their preferred presidential candidate.”
Bailey’s lawsuit said New York’s actions detest Missourians’ ability to hear from and cast a fully informed vote for president mere months before the election.
He is asking the Supreme Court to halt any further action in the New York case until after the presidential election.

Missouri Gov. Parson to meet with local leaders about Royals, Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri Governor Mike Parson is set to meet with community leaders from Jackson and Clay counties on Monday. Together with Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, they intend to discuss options to keep the Chiefs and Royals in Missouri.
“I thought that this was over with!” said Chiefs fan Kelsie Gana. “I didn’t know this was still going on!”
In April, voters in Jackson County denied an extension to the sales tax that supports the Chiefs and Royals. Then, in June, the Kansas State Legislature overwhelmingly approved STAR bond legislation intended to entice the teams to build stadiums in the Sunflower State.
Fans of the teams are split when it comes to what state they’d rather see the teams play in.
“Stay in Missouri,” said one fan on Sunday. “Of course, you have to stay in Missouri this is where it started!”
Another fan says the teams should move to the other side of the state line. “That’s our hometown, there’s nothing better than Kansas man, It don’t get no better than Kansas.”
JT Miller isn’t from Kansas City, but says that he believes Parson, Lucas and others should do everything to keep the teams in Missouri.
“Well, the big thing is if you have a pro team, especially a pro team with this stature and success, boy you want to keep them,” he said.
He fears that the teams would also look at options outside of Kansas City.
“It would really be a mistake if they got robbed to another city. There isn’t any other city that wouldn’t want them. I’m from Orlando, we will take them tonight!”
Others, like Gana, said that moving the teams would create tension between residents of the two states.
“I feel like if you move it across the state line … it’ll just be a little battle, I mean not that deep, but a little battle between the two,” she said.
While another fan said, as long as they were in town, they didn’t care what side of the line they were on.
“I mean, if they go either way, it’s the same thing.”

“Don’t just shove it in a trash can”: Kansas City Missouri Fire Department gives reminders as you get rid of used fireworks
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – July 4th has come and gone, which means it’s time to throw out used fireworks. Before you do, the Kansas City, Missouri, Fire Department wants to make sure you get rid of them properly.
According to Battalion Chief, Michael Hopkins, the department responded to at least four house fires because of improper disposal.
Hopkins said you should always douse used fireworks in water, at least overnight. He said the explosives should be placed in a five-gallon bucket or a metal container to completely put it out.
“Definitely don’t just shove it in a trash can and put it in your garage with a normal bag,” Hopkins said. “Some of that stuff can still be smoldering. We have had a couple of fires over the last several days that we highly suspect are people picking up the debris, and putting them in a trash can in the garage. Next thing you know, smoke detectors are going off.”
Hopkins said the department also responded to several injury-related calls from fireworks. He said most of the injuries are to either hands or face.
If you have any questions about disposing of fireworks, you can call the Kansas City Fire Department at (816)924-1700. If you have an emergency, call 911.
