KANSAS CITY, MO –
KCUR Evening Headlines (1 min 49 sec)

  • Voter turnout is heavy in Missouri's presidential preference primary - with unofficial reports of some polling places placing last minute calls for more ballots.
  • State Supreme Court Chief Justice Laura Denvir-Stith is opening up the process a bit for selecting judicial candidates in Missouri.
  • Forty-three people were indicted today, accused of running two drug rings that distributed $12 million worth of cocaine, crack and other drugs in Northeast Kansas and the Kansas City area.

Defunded, but not defeated.
Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
