KANSAS CITY, Mo. â The pandemic took a toll on Kansas City's budget and on Saturday, the public had a chance to voice concerns on the proposed budget for the up coming fiscal year.
Several dozen people gave their opinions in attempts to sway city council members' minds.
Currently the city is looking at filling about a $70,000,000 hole, mostly due to the pandemic.
"One of if not the most challenging budgets that weâve ever had to put together in light of the COVID-19 pandemic," KCMO City Manager, Brian Platt said.
