Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 12th of July.
Good morning, Lee's Summit.
🏛️ Government
Jackson County Executive Frank White vetoed an ordinance that would require a special election on November 4 to choose an elected assessor—he called the measure costly and misleading for forcing an extra unbudgeted election.
He added that the vote could be held during the scheduled August and November 2026 elections when no extra taxpayer money would be used.
Jackson County and Kansas City Election Boards filed a lawsuit on July 10 arguing that the August 26 recall election for Jackson County executive Frank White violates state & federal election laws.
The boards ask the court to postpone the vote to November 4 and schedule a case management conference for November 3 to ensure the election meets legal requirements.
🏈 Sports
On Friday, Major League Baseball announced the Royals added closer Carlos Estevez to the American League All-Star team as an injury replacement.
A Royals spokesperson did not comment further on the move + no additional details were provided.
