The mayor of Kansas City Missouri is asking Kansas to kick in $5 million to help bring a new direct international route to its newly opened $1.5 billion airport. Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas sent a letter to Gov. Laura Kelly in early January asking Kansas to match a $5 million contribution from the state of Missouri. The request, still standing, comes after the Missouri General Assembly last year approved $5 million in federal stimulus money to help Kansas City recruit an international carrier.
