Kansas City voters got the Funk out. Mayor Mark Funkhouser won’t see a second term in office — the first incumbent since the 1920s to not survive the primary.

Sly James and Mike Burke will square off in a March 22 run-off election. KMBC Channel 9 reported that only 38 votes separated James and Burke.
