This week in my newsletter: why coffee prices are climbing faster in Kansas City than anywhere else. Bean costs have tripled over the past decade, tariffs on Brazilian imports are adding pressure, and many local cafés are absorbing the hit just to keep the doors open.

In both Missouri and Kansas, you have clear rights when it comes to vehicle searches. Learn when police can legally search your car, what to say if they ask, and why saying “no” is often the smartest move.

Had a busy weekend at the Chappel Roan concert, collecting signatures to get the crazy gerrymandered MAGA map on next year's ballot. People are into it and signing the petition. Geoff and I went door-to-door in Bridlespur, inviting neighbors to the SKC Dems’ special membership meeting on Oct 18. And Tuna gave me a ride in this really cool pedicab.

Anyone know if there's a way to get to Liberty Memorial without having to climb a hill?

Back to School = Back to School Zone Speed Traps

School is back in session across Kansas City after Labor Day, and that means school zone speed limits are being strictly enforced.

These tickets can be costly, sometimes doubling the regular fine, and they will affect your driving record or insurance.

Police typically increase patrols during this time of year. Even going just a few miles over the limit can get you a ticket.

Slow down, pay attention, and avoid texting anywhere near a school zone. If you get caught though, call me!
