You know the Federal Reserve is important to the government, but what does it really do?

Guest:

  • Esther George, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City 
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
