en We certainly didn't want to blindside the city in any way. The reality is we don't have that much time to continue to deal with the politics of the city. They have a lot of hard work to do, a lot of hard decisions to make with the repeal referendum coming up. We don't have time to wait.

en I had a good time while I was here. I love it here and my family is here. I certainly have no hard feelings about anybody in Kansas City. The city is great and it's fun to come back.
