The ghost of K-Shields

May 29, 2008 | Comments Off

Former Jackson County Executive Katheryn Shields might be gone, but her legacy lives on at Fort Osage, not just at the baseball stadium in the middle of a junk yard.  One of her last acts in office was to push through a questionable project to build a conference center at historic Fort Osage, in the county’s rural northeast corner. It was highly controversial at the time, and now it has come back to haunt the county.  It seems that not only is county losing money on the operation of the center, but the building itself is defective. The County Legislative is scrambling to fix the problems caused by poor planning and poor construction.
