President Barack Obama said Tuesday the Treasury Department inspector general’s report examining how the Internal Revenue Service allowed for the targeting of “tea party” and other groups shows some IRS employees “failed” to act in a way “that’s worthy of the public’s trust.”

“Regardless of how this conduct was allowed to take place, the bottom line is, it was wrong,” the president said.

In his statement, Obama said he’s directed Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew “to hold those responsible for these failures accountable, and to make sure that each of the Inspector General’s recommendations are implemented quickly, so that such conduct never happens again.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mayor Sly James announced Tuesday the appointment of 24 people from various parts of the community to make up a task force he has assembled in an effort to decide once and for all what is best for Kansas City’s airport.

The mayor seemed to understand the fire in the airport debate and the criticism he’s up against.

“This isn’t something we’re doing for fun,” he said. “I’m not asking these people to devote all the time, effort, and energy to do this for fun and games.”

Among the appointees is a vocal critic of a single-terminal KCI.  In fact, Kevin Koster is so against it, he created a website called “SaveKCI.com“.

He believes when the mayor tells him that the mayor and the city council have not yet made up their minds about the airport and will carefullyconsider the task force findings.
