city manager and the city manager division was really more powerful than any other position in kansas city at the time and for henry mcavoy the manager was in charge of the day-to-day operations of the city. reformers had hoped that the manager would be this professional who takes care of business and proper ways but since he was pendergast's man it was very improper. whenever they did city construction projects, mcilroy would make sure his contracts went to companies that were owned by tom pendergast. pendergast owns mostly construction companies that was basically everything from cement there was a ready mixed company that is one of the big ones. he had insurance companies. he had liquor companies, of course which at least officially they change to beverage companies during prohibition of the time. so all of these city contracts went through mcilroy to pendergast and he gets the money and there's the circle of money and pendergast is always getting his cuts and people with elated with the machine were getting their cut and ask in exchange votes. election day they could pay people to vote

and with the kansas city jazz. with labor and industry and race relations we have bitten off a lot but to focus on pendergast and the machine and with those implications of the 20s and 30s other p, and when we look at jazz we are most interested from the perspective of the machine. how did they enable a culture the wide open town and looking with that aspect and how it ties to get her. but that is with tom pendergast coming up and got their start. and then to click and go back to the documents to documents and essays with a timeline and with those connections within the machine and with the graphic it is difficult and with that immersive experience to give people with that time. >> the american sunbelt

here is what kansas city federal reserve esther georgia told us about implications of tariffs. >> if this looks like this will continue, persistence to discussions, if it leaves businesses feeling uncertain, that could flow through holding back on investment or less investment. that's something that i want to watch carefully to see if that will show up in data at some point. maria: joining us to talk more about that jon hilsenrath, jon, good to see you this morning, isn't that the crux of this, the fact that it's uncertainty that will stall investment plans, stall companies from putting things in place that keep those economic growth engines turning? >> well, you know, maria, we have factors pulling in both directions on investment right now, on the one hand, we have a lot of uncertainty about tariffs which certainly could affect investment decision but on the other hand we have much lower coarpt tax rates which is giving companies incentive to invest.
