AG Pushes Forward With KC Contract Lawsuit | Kansas City News

Missouri’s Attorney General is doubling down on a lawsuit against Kansas City, even though the city has already shut down the controversial contracting program at the heart of the case. The AG now seeks not just to ban the old system permanently but also to pursue financial damages for those it claims were wronged — a major shift from the original symbolic suit. City leaders call it a politically motivated waste of taxpayer dollars, while the new contracting program aims to be race- and gender-neutral. The AG’s office is still hunting for more plaintiffs who believe they were unfairly excluded, hoping to build a stronger case as the investigation unfolds.
