Mock funeral crowd mourns ‘death’ of Kansas
Amen, Tomato Grower. You are one of the few voices in the replies which make sense. I've always wished that the Kooks posting in the reply section should be identified so their neighbors would know their ideas. In letters to the editor we know and that's good. Would be fewer ridiculous postings.

Letter: True conservatism?
Well written letter to the editor and I agree completely. Intend to post on Facebook. One responder said that Republicans and conservatives are not necessarily the same. What is that? The Republican Party in Kansas IS conservative and is basically responsible for the grand experiment of income tax reduction which benefits corporations and sub chapter S corporations while sales taxes are higher, cuts are made to education, the arts, law enforcement, the list goes on and on. ALL brought about by the income tax reductions which caused the domino effect we're experiencing.

Letter: Sinking state
Read Christopher Reeves autobiography "Still Me". He criticizes Brownback repeatedly when a US Senator for his efforts to defund The National Institute of Health(NIH) because of his stance on stem cell research. This involved research on stem cells already harvested and the choice of whether they would be destroyed or used to help spinal cord injured citizens.

Letter: Sinking state
The poverty line in Kansas is lower than most states. By not accepting the Federal aid for Medicaid, hospitals will lose millions of dollars by Kansas not participating because O'Bamacare will stop sending the money to hospitals to aid them in caring for the uninsured that come to emergency rooms. The hospital assn. has endorsed the Medicaid expansion because it will keep them solvent. It's shameful what our governor and legislature is doing.

Plans filed for restaurant/retail on South Iowa site once proposed for Olive Garden
My wife and I love Olive Garden. Darden owns Red Lobster too and they are often built near each other. We like both but imagine only one possible so Olive Garden would be great. Retail? Don't like the sound of that.

Revenue secretary says tax cuts are working

Tax cuts will reduce state revenue more than Great Recession
Many of us fiscal conservatives knew Brownback's cuts would have the results we are getting.
Shame on those Kansans who voted for him and his Koch Bros GOP elected representatives.
