AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoTragedy in Mid-Missouri: A skydiving plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Butler Memorial Airport, killing all 12 aboard—11 skydivers and the pilot—while family members watched from the ground; investigators from the NTSB and FAA are still working to determine what went wrong, with early focus on whether the aircraft lost power and stalled during a low turn. Safety scrutiny: Federal investigators say past skydiving crashes often point to maintenance problems and weak oversight, and this weekend’s disaster is renewing calls for tighter industry standards. Weather watch: A flood warning remains in effect for parts of southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri, with numerous roads still closed and streams continuing to rise. Local education & budgets: Webster Groves School District leaders laid out a projected $5.6 million operating deficit for 2026-27, citing state funding cuts, higher health insurance costs, and impacts from Missouri’s senior property tax freeze. Community action: Webster Groves residents held a “Wear Orange” march and rally aimed at curbing gun violence in the St. Louis metro. Infrastructure update: Kirkwood unveiled plans for the Grant’s Trail extension, a nearly mile-long mixed-use path expected to connect Downtown Kirkwood to the existing trail near I-44.
