• Jury to begin deliberations Tuesday in Boilermakers racketeering trial in KCK (kansascity.com) — A former top Boilermakers official from Kearney is among four ex-union leaders whose racketeering and embezzlement case is now in the hands of a federal jury in Kansas City, Kansas. Prosecutors say the group misused millions in union funds for family jobs, luxury travel, and improper benefits, while defense attorneys argue the spending followed union rules and lacked criminal intent.
