To the editor:

I read the Feb. 5 Journal-World article regarding the bond issue and Kansas University. It sounds to me like Rep. Marc Rhoades, a Republican from Newton, has an ax to grind. We know he is a conservative but could he perhaps also be a K-State follower with a slight animosity toward KU? Just wondering!

Is this an opportunity for him to use his legislative position to not only take a cheap shot at Lawrence, that den of evil liberals, but also KU? It sounds like KU was following advice from the Kansas Legislature to find other means of funding projects without using Kansas taxpayers money. This seems to me a logical win-win situation for all concerned. Thirty other states have passed legislation encouraging this type of financing.

So now Mr. Rhoades is sponsoring an amendment to punish Kansas University? What is your real motive Mr. Rhoades?
