AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Logistics & Retail Tech: Amazon says Prime Air will expand drone delivery of lightweight packages to nearly 500 U.S. cities and towns by year-end, with some deliveries in as fast as 30 minutes—an aggressive move that ramps up competition with Walmart and could reshape last-mile expectations. Energy & Finance: Global bonds steadied after the U.S. Treasury doubled buybacks for long-duration debt to calm a bond-market rout, easing pressure on yields and lifting investor sentiment. Banking Regulation: Kansas banking leaders are weighing the FFIEC’s proposed CAMELS exam overhaul, praising the shift toward “material financial risk” but warning the term is too vague for smaller institutions. Local Industry & Skills: Salina Area Technical College received a donated Ford F-750 from Bergkamp to boost hands-on training for construction, diesel tech, industrial maintenance and welding. Public Safety (Construction): Wichita investigators are probing a suspected electrocution death of a 61-year-old welder at a construction site, with a second worker also injured. Community & Education: Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools kept schools closed as storm outages disrupted transportation, while KCKPS reported thousands still without power. Sports Sponsorship & Health: Doctors and scientists are urging the Big 12 and NCAA to pause a Monster Energy sponsorship deal over health risks for younger fans. Local Crime: Augusta police arrested a hit-and-run suspect accused of striking a girl walking her dog, and Sedgwick County sentenced a man to prison after he admitted killing his neighbor.
