"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

You know it’s getting weird when Kansas City Mayor Mark Funkhouser is the voice of reason concerning the burgeoning economic warfare within the metropolitan area between Kansas and Missouri.

"Where is Missouri? Where is regionalism? Where are the civic and business groups that claim to have Kansas City’s interests first?" Funkhouser asked a couple of weeks ago when The Star first reported that Kansas was dangling a $50 million incentive package to lure AMC Entertainment out of downtown.
