FBI investigating Kansas City Mayor Pro Tem Ryana Parks-Shaw and her husband, the city's public works director, over contracts tied to campaign donors

Federal investigators have interviewed multiple current and former Kansas City employees about whether Mayor Pro Tem Ryana Parks-Shaw and her husband, Public Works Director Michael Shaw, used their positions for personal or professional gain. A federal grand jury subpoenaed city records tied to contractor Anton Washington's company, which received more than $200,000 in homeless-outreach and trash-removal contracts over roughly two and a half years, and Michael Shaw reportedly solicited campaign donations by personal email from people seeking city permits that had not yet been approved.
