Kansas City, MO —
Former Jackson County Prosecutor Albert Riederer is retiring from the practice of law, and friends are holding a celebration for him.
The Albert Riederer Recognition & Retirement Gig is from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 today at the Uptown Theater, 3700 Broadway in Kansas City. It’s a benefit for the Bishop Sullivan Center. The Albert Fund will help low-income seniors and low-income families with special needs.
On Monday, county legislators – many of whom served in office with Riederer – broadly praised him as they passed a resolution in his honor.
“Albert’s one of the few people who doesn’t have any enemies in this business. What a good guy,” said Legislator Scott Burnett, D-Kansas City.
“He was always there when we needed him,” added Legislator James D. Tindall, D-Kansas City.
Riederer was county prosecutor from 1980 to 1992, during which he pushed for the passage of the county’s anti-drug tax, COMBAT, a quarter-cent sales tax that remains in effect today, with periodic voter approval. He was a judge on the Western District of the Missouri Court of Appeals from 1997 to 1999.
