And there it is. The final unofficial results from all precincts are in: Frank White Jr. has been recalled as Jackson County Executive, with 85% of voters voting YES to remove him from office, effective immediately. @kcur.org

It's looking like at the end of the day, Jackson County's voters will have decided about 5-to-1 to remove Executive Frank White Jr. Next up: Jax Co Legislature Chair DaRon McGee will appoint an acting Executive to serve up to 30 days. It must be a Democrat residing in the county.

Now with all KCEB precincts reporting and 59% of JCEB precincts reporting:

A joy as always to be announcing the names of @umkc.bsky.social graduates today at commencement along with my @kcur.org colleague Lisa Rodriguez.

This Associated Press photo would seem to confirm it.

It’s about to begin! #9lc

And if you usually follow me on social media for politics news, you’re about to get something else for the next couple hours: Nerdy church music and liturgy comments as I listen to the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols live from Cambridge (#9lc). Feel free to join me (and the world)!

Almost ready. #9lc

I’ve created a #9lc list of those who I have notice or who have asked, but you might just follow the hashtag like the old days at the other place and click for updates every few seconds. :)

You know it’s officially the holiday season once Chuck Haddock and the Funky Butt Brass Band get things started with the @kcur.org Fish Fry Holiday Party

Honored as always to be reading the names of graduates today at the #UMKC Mid-Year Commencement ceremony. Congratulations, #2024roos grads: May your pronouncers be well-written and your futures filled with success.

You know you’re out to dinner in KC when they’re showing the Hallmark Kansas City Chiefs movie on the TV
