On #Juneteenth, I stood with SEIU Local 1 janitors in Kansas City – Black, Brown, and immigrant workers fighting for the dignity of fair wages. The struggle for racial and economic justice is one and the same and I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity.

Among local govts, St. Louis is in a class by itself with its glacial handling of records requests. For a 3rd straight year, the city took 100+ days to answer St. Louis Post-Dispatch's annual request for payroll data. St. Louis County needed just 8. stltoday.com/news/local/gov…
