Authorities believe Lana-Leigh Bailey's body was moved to Osage County after killings in Ottawa
It is not the legal system, it is the legislature who is to blame for short sentences and no discretion of the judges and parole boards. The legislature does not want to pay for prisons, so it established sentencing and parole rules that let people off the hook way too soon. In fact, it takes a lot just to get any prison time at all these days. Prisons cost money and that would require more taxes. Taxes that the legislature does not want to impose. These rules have been in place for some time so it is really not the current legislature's fault that we have what we have. The current legislature could, however, correct the problem.

Lawrence attorney disbarred, accused of $200,000 ethics violation
Under the rules, when you surrender your license you are automatically disbarred. The respondent chose to surrender his license, effectively disbarring himself. Had he fully participated in the disciplinary process and gone through the hearings, he might have ended up with lesser punishment. Usually people don't surrender their license unless it is a pretty bad set of facts.

Truancy policies can catch parents by surprise
Pick up the phone and either call the school or a friend/relative to take the child to school. A lot less hassle than the diversion program. But, the easy excuse is to blame the school and/or principal rather than accept responsibility as a parent. If the parent has a medical issue, that is more reason to have a "plan B" transportation plan in place in advance.

Under bill, concealed carry of guns would be decided by school boards, university leaders
Drones are the answer. Every school and university could have their own. Fire away at the first sign of trouble.

National chapter addresses alleged animal abuse at KU fraternity
Beta Theta Pi: A proud tradition of animal abuse for over a century. "Added decor" right up to the point it is abused and killed! Hopefully the DA will file charges and show that no fraternity, no matter how rich and powerful its alumni are, can escape justice.

Poll shows low approval rate for Brownback
A moderate republican has zero chance against Sam in the primary. Look what happened to the moderates in 2012. The fact is that the conservatives own the GOP primary because they actually vote. The democrats need to have a candidate who has name recognition and the ability to raise incredible amounts of money to even have a chance of being competitive. The conservatives have spent the last 20+ years working hard to get where they are today. They are not going to go away without a battle of epic proportions. Bottom line is regardless of popularity, the fact is that barring some unforeseen game changing development, Sam will cruise to a second term.

Senate approves constitutional amendment to remove courts from school finance decisions
The real problem for those who want change is that the Democrats have no candidate who can beat Sam in 2014. There is no serious, credible democratic candidate out there who has either state wide name recognition or the ability to raise a fraction of the money that will be behind Sam. That is the bottom line and the democrats are running out of time. They had better identify a strong candidate this weekend at their annual meeting and get started on an aggressive fund raising effort if they expect to have any chance of even being competitive. The reality is that the GOP will go after some of their new freshman representatives who are too moderate and the 2015 legislature may be more conservative that what we have now. In the mean time, all the hand wringing and teeth gnashing are not going to change the trajectory of where the state is headed, further and further to the right.

Simons' Saturday Column: Democratic presidential race is already under way
Mr. Simons: Why are you so worked up over the confusion in the aftermath of the unfortunate deaths of 4 Americans when Bush and his ilk sent thousands of American soldiers to their death and maiming all based on lies? One American death is too many yet Bush and the GOP have far more blood on their hands. Where is your outrage over that?
