I have a question about the Kansas no-call list. I know that nonprofit organizations and places you have done business with before can call you anyway. But, if I answer the phone and ask them to not call me back, is that something I can do to avoid being called or can they still call?

I distinctly remember when the state wanted the public to approve the lottery, it said it would raise all sorts of money for the schools.

There is a scratch-off ticket just to benefit the military veterans. Why not make one to benefit the schools?
