📰 News we're reading
• City of Weston has removed its Flock cameras after major pushback from residents (kshb.com) — Weston officials have removed recently installed Flock license-plate cameras and halted any future installations after sustained pushback from residents worried about surveillance and data use. Neighbors organized, spoke at multiple city council meetings, and ultimately persuaded supportive council members to reverse course, leaving the city with no current plans to revive the camera program. 
• 7 Far-Flung Hearts in the 2026 Parade of Hearts (inkansascity.com) — One of this year’s farthest-flung Parade of Hearts sculptures sits right in downtown Weston, at 401 Main Street, featuring a fox sheltered from spring rain. The guide encourages heart hunters to make the trip, enjoy the artwork, and linger at nearby local spots while exploring other hearts across the wider Kansas City region.
