From the optimistic news of Nashville-based HCA stepping into Kansas City as the successor of the ailing Health Midwest, to the idiotic lawsuits and money grab taking place well before the transaction. From KC’s utility darling UtiliCorp, now Aquila to the turbulent exile of its overcompensated CEO, and much more. Ingram’s explores a year in review of one of the most tumultuous eras in the history of big business in Kansas City.
