KU makes sudden change in Statehouse presence
Remember when you thought Bob Dole was an ultra-right-wing conservative? Wouldn't you like to think that again?
(P.S. Wagle's son-in-law? Gag me.)

Rhoades recants, apologizes for bribery allegation against KTA chief
If recollection serves, there's only been three chiefs in the 60-year history of the Turnpike, Mr. Johnston, R.D. Fogo, and L.W. Newcomer. The KTA has been notable for its' lack of politicization and its' superior management. It has been run for the benefit of its' customers, rather than to serve some half-witted ideology. If only the State agencies had been managed so well, we wouldn't be having such terrible financial troubles now.
You should be ashamed of your comment. I suspect that you and Mr. Rhoades will be most remembered for your dearth of such an emotion.

Rhoades recants, apologizes for bribery allegation against KTA chief
Politics has always been dirty, but geez...
I think the budget falling apart is making the Brownbackians desperate and reckless. Expect more of the same in the next few weeks.

House gives preliminary OK to bill requiring cooperation between Kansas Turnpike Authority, KDOT
"But Rep. Mark Hutton, R-Wichita, said the turnpike, completed 60 years ago, should be debt-free by now. He compared the turnpike to an adult who "still lives with Mom and Dad. It's time to kick Junior out of the house."
More like a couple of meth-head parents that want the successful child to move back in so they can share the wealth. "Yeah, Jimmy, after you move home we can have a joint checking account! We'll save money that way!!"

U.S. Rep. Pompeo critical of KU Chancellor Gray-Little's video on sequestration
Actually, it was Huelskamp that got booted off the Ag Comm., but Pompeo is an embarrassment, also.
Pompeo got his start by creating a business that lived off government contracts, then went to work for some Wichita oil guy, then ran for Congress on Koch money and contacts. That's Koch Industries, the 2d largest privately owned company in the U.S. (world?) that doesn't pay taxes in KS because it meets the definition of a "small" business.
Who knows? Maybe his son (actually step-son) Nick can find some connection that can get him a good paying job at Koch, or maybe create his own business - that'd be even better because then he could, as a "small" businessperson, skip out on that dad-gum $54,000. Win!

Editorial: Clueless
Actually, this is pretty normal for the Legislature/Admin. for the past couple of years: Campaign Slogan: We're Working on Jobs! Post-Election: Abortion!!!!! We want to make it more Illegal Than Any Other State!!!
If he tells the truth ('we're going to suck as much cash out of the KTA as possible while politicizing its' Board') he's going to have a hard time rounding up votes, even amongst the true believers.
P.S. What's the deal with one of the recently appointed KTA board members buying Sec'y King's business? Quid pro quo? Payola? Inquiring minds, etc.

Do you think Gov. Brownback should try to combine the Kansas Department of Transportation with the Kansas Turnpike Authority?
All we care about is how much the tolls will be, and how well the road will be maintained. Given how desparate the state is for $, is there ANYONE that believes we'll be better off in those two areas if K-DOT takes over the KTA?

Brownback plans to transfer highway funds to schools, merge Kansas Turnpike Authority raise questions
So, we're going to replace the semi-private high-tech KTA maintenance (wireless weather data transmitters, etc) with the low-bid KDOT procedures?
What could go wrong?
