WHO WILL SUCCEED MAYOR JOE REARDON?:
This week we push aside our regular cast of reporters to bring you the five people who believe they have what it takes to be the next Mayor of Wyandotte County.

The primary election to choose his replacement will be held a week next Tuesday (February 26th). The two top vote getters will move on to the General Election April 2nd.
