Brownback: Keep state sales tax at current level, cut more income taxes; change judicial selection
I guess the concepts of separation of powers and a system of checks and balances are foreign to the Governor.

Column: Lost Western Civ requirement will hurt KU
Reasonable minds can differ on the propriety of the Western Civ requirement, and have for decades, but this column got personal regarding Dean Anderson and "his professors." I do not understand why that should be. I do not think that Western Civ teaches students to support their position with personal attack rather than reason.
I seriously doubt Mr. Awbrey actually spoke to Dean Anderson though he certainly writes as if he had. ("According to Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean Danny Anderson . . . .") The journalist who actually speaks to the person quoted generally uses a phrase indicating the conversation. ("When I spoke to Dean Anderson" or "Dean Anderson told me.") I don't see any such reference in this column. I doubt Dean Anderson would make the type of statements that Mr. Awbrey attributes to him in the column.
If the Dean did make such statements to Mr. Awbrey, fair enough. Tell us that he did so. If Mr. Awbrey did not speak to Dean Anderson but got the quoted - and unquoted words - from elsewhere then he should have made an attribution to the source. ("According to ..... ." or "According to an unidentified source. . . .") I assume Mr. Awbrey did not just imagine a conversation with Dean Anderson.
