'All are welcome': Mayor Quinton Lucas invites migrants overwhelming other cities to work in KC
Published in News & Features
His repost of the Bloomberg article drew almost universal condemnation from the 390 comments below it as of Wednesday afternoon.
“We don’t want this here in Kansas City.
We don’t deserve this, Mayor Q. Stop this now,” one woman wrote.
“New York and Denver are both cities in decline! Guess where KC is headed! All city services will decline with more burden and less contributing,” said another critic.
But a very few sided with Lucas.
“Proud of my hometown,” one former resident wrote. “I’m a little sad (but happy for the town) that KC elected the best mayor of my lifetime a couple years after I moved away.”
While Lucas often engages with commenters on X, he didn’t in this case.
