This really shows the nasty racism of our country. Lots of other mayors, such as mine in Santa Fe, have mandated masks, and no matter what criticism they've gotten, it's not been accompanied by the n word.

Quinton Lucas, who was elected not quite a year ago, to be the 55th mayor of Kansas City, has done an amazing job. He's been calm, collected, focused on issues, and is hugely dedicated to the city.

I happen to know him, and I'm quite impressed at what he's accomplished so far.
