Kansas City – Today is the day millions of students and families across the country have dreaded -- and pleaded with Congress not to let come. But it has.

Today is the day, student loan rates double, leaving students paying 6.8% on their loans instead of 3.4%.

Kansas City – Congressman Cleaver is pleased to announce that the Kansas City Public Library will soon receive a grant from the Big Read. The Big Read is a partnership between the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and Arts Midwest. The NEA initiative is an effort to put reading back into the lives of kids, adults, and American culture.
