Urban Summit | Citizens discuss topics that effect community

The fourth annual Urban Summit was held at the Paseo Academy this past Saturday morning to discuss topics in workshops that effect their neighborhoods, schools, city government, health care, crime, housing, jobs and small business growth. The program began early in the morning and ended with a Kansas City mayoral new candidate forum. I do believe there were about five hundred people present. Above, Kit Wagner gave a presentation on the importance of universal healthcare.
