Letter to the editor: Kansas whitewater

To the editor:

No surprise that Sam Brownback is behind the preposterous idea of bringing whitewater rafting to Kansas and wants to foist it off on our beautiful, sophisticated and highly educated Lawrence community. Either he sees it as payback to the people of Lawrence, who in large numbers refused to vote for him, twice. Or, he is among the 700,000 people who he believes are dumb enough to think “Whitewater rafting this summer? Let’s go to Kansas!”
