The Mayor’s Commission on Ethics Reform will hold a public hearing on Thursday, April 19, following Council Session on the 26th floor of City Hall. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. and will take comments on the Commission’s proposed overhaul of the Kansas City Municipal Code of Ethics.
“The Commission has gone above and beyond what was asked when I tasked them with reviewing the city’s ethics code. The reforms they have proposed are comprehensive. They have literally rewritten the code from beginning to end, reviewing decades of jumbled, and often competing sections, to present to the Council a cohesive and effective new code. I appreciate their efforts and encourage the public to review their work. Building trust in government is key to efficient government. The proposed changes are an excellent step in a positive direction,” said Mayor Sly James.
