Three members of Kansas City’s Transportation, Infrastructure and Operations committee skipped Wednesday’s scheduled committee meeting, effectively stalling city business, until Mayor Quinton Lucas removes Second District Councilwoman Teresa Loar from her position as chair.

Councilwoman Melissa Robinson and Councilmen Eric Bunch and Kevin O’Neil said they don’t think Loar is fit to lead the group, after a series of racist incidents and angry outbursts.
