Reardon's New Gig - Kansas city week in review

SO THAT'S WHERE JOE REARDON IS HE HEADED. THIS WEEK THE FORMER MAYOR OF WYANDOTTE COUNTY ENDED A LONG SILENCE ABOUT HIS FUTURE BY ANNOUNCING HE'S JOINING ONE OF KANSAS CITY'S LARGEST LAW FIRMS, MCANANY, VAN CLEAVE AND PHILLIPS, WHERE HE WILL WORK IN THE AREAS OF TECHNOLOGY LAW, PUBLIC POLICY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WHEN REARDON ANNOUNCED BACK IN JANUARY, HE WOULD NOT SEEK RE-ELECTION, THERE WAS SPECULATION HE WAS HEADING FOR A MUCH HIGHER PROFILE GIG, EVERYTHING FROM SUCCEEDING DAVID WARM AS THE HEAD OF THE MID AMERICA REGIONAL COUNCIL TO THE NEW HEAD OF THE HEALTH CARE FOUNDATION TO A TOP JOB AT THE GOOGLE IN KANSAS CITY. IS THIS JOB A SURPRISE? A LITTLE. THERE WAS A LITTLE CHATTER ABOUT HIM BEING IN THE RUNNING FOR SOME HIGHER OFFICE. THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO PARK HIMSELF, EARN A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY IF HE STILL WANTS A POLITICAL CAREER. THAT MAY BE WHAT'S GOING ON. THAT IS OUR WEEK IN REVIEW. ERIC IS STILL LAUGHING LAUGHINGD MAKING ME LAUGH. FROM KANSAS CITY IT IS 5 STACEY CAMERON AND THE STAR'S CITY HALL REPORTER LYNN HORSLEY.
