House committee approves bill that supporters say will protect Kansas gun rights

Yes, it seems like our KS State legislators are too bored and they must have nothing to do. Except, they spend their time, (our time) passing stupid and meaningless laws as a way to thumb their nose at the intrusive, Socialistic, Obama Federal Government . Lets look at this , The denial of medicaid services to needy Kansans, the overly intrusive, sexual TSA patdowns of Ks residents of the (huge volume) of citizens at Booming KS Airports like Wichita, Dodge City , Hutch, Garden City , Liberal , etc wherever . The changing of Educational standards to stick it to the Liberal Elite and Liberal left who run our schools. Mr Kobach continues his personal crusade to fix the immigration issue for every state except his own.
Lets not forget the huge deficit that our Gov and his handpicked legislature have given us.
They dont have the time to seriously address our own budget shortfalls - issues that they created yet they continue to throw stones at the Feds and the Obama Admin to pacify and give red meat to their rabid political base

Curbside recycling committee recommending city sign contract with Hamm Companies for local recycling center; question of whether to accept glass still undecided

I am all for recycling and saving the world. I am also interested in saving valuable tax dollars needed for our roads etc . I say lets support the Deffenbaugh Proposal which will save us, the taxpayers, the money and also save the wear and tear on our City Trash Trucks.

The Hamm outfit is more expensive and isnt even a proven product and it will take time to get them up and running. What is it a couple more years .
Lets get this over with. Go with the cheapest and the most experienced bidder , Deffenbaugh. Get the Trash out of our backyard and into someone elses .

Kansas House panel passes judicial selection change

Its ironic, the Conservatives are always the strongest advocates for preserving the Constitution.
Why are we changing / amending the existing State Constitution ?
Answer - To serve the political whims of the Governor and the Legislative Branch.

Shouldn't the Judiciary be held to a different standard than politics ? They should not have to worry about lobbying from the NRA, The Unions , The ACLU, Kansans for Life , The Koch's ,
or any industry .
I want an impartial Judiciary , not a political hack

Brownback defends handling of programs designed to help poor Kansans

This good Catholic man has nothing but the best intentions for the poor .
Take all reproductive rights away from women, allow them to have multiple children with no means to care for them . Ignore New Testament Teachings such as the Beatitudes.
Support Pro Death Penalty Candidates in your party .

Go to Church on Sun .

All Kansas counties except one declared disaster areas because of drought

Isn't it ironic and very hypocritical that we, meaning the State of KS are willing to accept a Federal handout, when we refuse the Medicaid funding that will benefit thousands of KS residents. KS can take care of itself . We dont want the Feds telling us what to do with our farmland. Basically, the Corporate owned farmers are the ones screaming for relief .
The Family Farms are becoming things of the past , sad but true . Now Big AGRA Farms runs the show and the politicians.

Republicans criticize incorrect mailers in two legislative races; Democrats apologize

Asking for an apology is laughable coming from the KS GOP.
Look at the lies, Bold Faced, Flat out Lies coming from the KS Chamber, Americans for Prosperity - All working in lockstep together with the Gov and the State Party .

They ran off their own moderate GOP members with lies , What makes you think they will hold back on the poor Democrats ?

A power grab folks

Tax-cut would lead to state deficits

WHY DO STATE DEFICITS GO UP WITH TAX CUTS AND NOT FEDERAL DEFICITS ?
Do you mean the Trickle Down , Supply Side Theory is a fraud ?

You have got to be kidding me !!!!
I am shocked
The Reagan and Bush Tax Cuts did not help raise the Deficit ?

Ag. leader seeks waiver for illegal immigrants

WHERE IS KOBACH ?
NO AMNESTY , Send them home .
The double standard and hypocrisy is sickening .
We, KS, take away the kids food stamps, The parents are considered illegal , The kids are Legal
Yet, We want their illegal parents for cheap labor .
THE KANSAS CHAMBER ERR KOCH BROTHERS Chamber and other Pro Business Groups need these illegal workers. How about paying a decent and fair wage to a KS Worker or American citizen. Our Pro Life Governor and his Party are more than willing to take some kids food stamps or his health benefits to look the other way to protect his Big Business Donors

Redistricting plans consolidate Lawrence in 2nd District

This is a joke . Jenkins is a liar. Nobody wants Wyandotte County Democrats in their Congressional District. That would mean diversity. Blacks, Mexicans , and people of color.
How does the urban WYCO District fit into the White Rural 1st District .
Douglas County Dems from KU were partially connected to the 3rd District, The GOP will not allow that and split the Democrats away from the Johnson County GOP Power Base
A Gerrymandering Powerplay in action by the State GOP.

Gov. Brownback's plan to post teachers’ rankings causes outcry; GOP senator describes plan as 'toxic'

Can you possibly hold a teacher accountable for test scores ? Yes
Are there bad teachers Yes , Are there bad doctors ? Bad Lawyers ? Bad Clergy ? Bad accountants ? Bad Cooks, Bad Waiters , Bad Bill Collectors , Bad File Clerks , Bad Mechanics ? Bad Politicians , Bad Governors
There are bad people in every occupation . These other jobs are SELF Dependent, Self Reliant .
You do not have to factor in things like kids, their homelife, previous years of study, what someone taught them the year before. Playing Catch up . Limited Resources , buying supplies with your own money .
There needs to be a proper way to evaluate teachers, this is not it !!!!
