Sad news out of Olathe, Kansas: Mayor Michael Copeland died last night. He was 58. I got to know him well when I was the Olathe City Hall reporter in 2005-06 and we had stayed in touch since. He was certainly a devoted servant to the city and the region.

Olathe, the state of Kansas, and the nation lost a great leader last night. Mayor @MichaelCopeland was the kind of leader I looked forward to talking to and working with. Selfless. Warm. Strong. Not going to be the same w/o him.

Just heard of the passing of Olathe Mayor Michael Copeland.
My favorite memory was the night of the NDO vote. I had never seen City Hall so packed, overflow crowds.
And as the Mayor strode thru purposefully, he said “Hello, Matt, nice to see u.”
And I knew the NDO would pass.

I spent many hours with @MichaelCopeland in our region, across the country, and on Capitol Hill. He was the person I sought out in a crowd. Mayor Copeland showed me the ropes, and he was a brilliant legislator and a class act. His legacy of kindness will never be forgotten.
