KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The possibility of more federal layoffs looms for Kansas City’s largest employer.

The chance of more government layoffs is troubling for the 30,000 federal workers living in the Kansas City metro, and anxious to see what’s next in this process.

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) workers based in the metro, including those at offices on Pershing Way, will potentially be out in the cold under this plan, as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to promote job cuts at the federal level. Some former government workers are already being notified their jobs are being eliminated.

VA employees are also on the edges of their seats, especially those in Leavenworth, Kansas, a city filled with federal workers. Rebecca Reinhold, a vice-president with the American Federation of Government Employees, represents 1,200 workers at five Leavenworth facilities. Reinhold said she’s particularly concerned about people who didn’t volunteer for the Deferred Resignation Program, and may lose their jobs anyway.

Reinhold indicated some workers are being notified by phone or email without respect for their time of service.

5. Kansas actually had one more blue County than Missouri in the election

Basically both sides of KC are blue. On the Kansas side that would be Johnson Co and Wyandotte. Between those two counties and Douglas country in Lawrence where KU is,for a short time during the election Harris was winning Kansas.

It was short but sweet.
