This @KansasCityStar Pulitzer finalist on govt secrecy was overshadowed, understandably, but it's exceptional & worth reading. Among jaw-dropping gets: In Kansas, child-welfare officials shred meeting notes on child deaths to foil media inquiries.

The 2018 Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Public Service, The Kansas City Star

Finalist: The Kansas City Star

For courageous, revelatory journalism that exposed a state government’s decades–long “obsession with secrecy,” intended to shield executive decisions and suppress transparency and accountability in law enforcement agencies, child welfare services and other sectors of the government.

1. Kansas doesn't give a shit about its children

unless they are white middleclass and destined to become
republican sheep. Hell, they won't even allow gun controls
that would help keep school kids safer...emphasis on "help"
