Kansas City – Congressman Cleaver today joined Posty Cards of Kansas City, as well as other project partners and community leaders, to celebrate the company’s groundbreaking honor of receiving LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
This certification makes Posty Cards the first Platinum industrial building in the state – and one of only seven nationwide. Posty is by far the smallest company with this distinction.
FIGHT TO KEEP KANSAS CITY PREPARED IN FACE OF EMERGENCY
Kansas City – Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II, today urged Members of Congress to immediately make more money available to fight floods and finish repairs in Missouri’s Fifth District.
“My constituents, as well as many thousands of others living along the Missouri River, experienced a flood of historic proportions and catastrophic damages last year,” said Congressman Cleaver. “And still today, they are dealing with delays, waiting for repairs, and living in fear of future flooding. Enough is enough. Let’s get them the help they need – now.”
I would like to respond to a recent media story entitled “Cleaver’s costly vehicle lease” from Sunday, May 6.
I was shocked and disappointed to see the piece, which, I am told was written based on a report from the nationally syndicated newsmagazine program, ‘Inside Edition’. The article mentioned my Mobile Office. I was not contacted for comment, clarification or explanation regarding the issue of ‘leased automobiles’.
Recently, the Postal Service announced it will not close any of the 167 post offices in Missouri that were being considered for closure or consolidation, nor will it close the more than 3,700 post offices nationwide as part of USPS' Expanded Access study. The plan would keep the existing Post Office in place, but with modified retail window hours to match customer use.
