Missouri voters have narrowly passed a constitutional amendment requiring Kansas City to spend a quarter of its budget on police.
FILE - Kansas City, Mo., Mayor Quinton Lucas speaks during a press briefing at the White House in Washington, May 13, 2022. Missouri voters have once again passed a constitutional amendment requiring Kansas City to spend at least a quarter of its budget on police, up from 20% previously.
In a statement Wednesday, Mayor Quinton Lucas hinted at a possible rival amendment being introduced “that stands for local control in all of our communities.” The state first took over Kansas City police from 1874 until 1932, when the state Supreme Court ruled that the appointed board’s control of the department was unconstitutional.
