There’s no good news in next year’s state budget for advocates of the arts in Kansas.
June 18, 2013
Struggling arts agencies across the state will find little hope for relief in the budget signed Saturday by Gov. Sam Brownback. That budget cuts annual funding for the new Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission to just $200,000 for the next two years. That is less than a third of the commission’s previous $700,000 annual budget.
Editorial: Core standards
Kansas legislators control the state’s purse strings, but they shouldn’t try to override the Kansas Department of Education’s authority to set education policy.

An exciting NCAA championship by the Kansas University women’s team puts KU on track to reclaim its strong track and field tradition.

J-W Editorial
June 10, 2013
