According to the experts at WalletHub, Missouri's two largest cities, Kansas City and St. Louis are two of the worst-run cities in the US right now. St. Louis ranked slightly worse than Kansas City, KC ranked 115th on the list, and St. Louis came in at 122nd, both WELL behind cities like Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Jacksonville, and even Las Vegas...
In the article, WalletHub says, "...we can learn how well city officials manage and spend public funds by comparing the quality of the services residents receive against the city’s total budget...WalletHub compared the operating efficiency of 148 of the largest U.S. cities to reveal which among them are managed best." Now, it should be noted that many of the cities in the top 10 are smaller populated cities, and the major American cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, all finished below Kansas City and St. Louis, to see the full list of the best and worst run cities in the US, click here!
