Trey Runnion resigns from Port Authority

Trey Runnion has resigned from the embattled Port Authority of Kansas City.

The city agency has come under criticism for allowing its general counsel, William Session, to enter into a multimillion-dollar contract to excavate land that the Port Authority sold to a private developer. Runnion signed off on the arrangement amid a complaint that Session’s familiarity with the project at the former Richards-Gebaur air base gave him an unfair advantage.
