Ad campaign accuses Kansas schools of low academic standards
Sorry Mr. Trabert, but for anyone with critical thinking skills (which I developed thanks to my public education) your agenda and that of your organization and the Brownback Administration are transparent. Destruction of public education in order to funnel the public education funding to your private charter and parochial schools is very clearly your goal.

Ad campaign accuses Kansas schools of low academic standards
This sounds to me like another attempt by the right to discredit and ultimately destroy public education. My children both attended Topeka Public Schools. Both received excellent educations. My daughter earned two bachelor degrees from KU and graduated with honors, and my son is a PhD candidate in physics at the University of California at Berkeley. I would say that the Kansas schools prepared them both very well.

Lawrence legislators say they hope Kansans will turn the tide on current policies
Apparently the conservatives digital form of shouting down opposing opinions and bullying is to use uppercase when typing.

Former Republican state senator talks about conversion to Democratic Party
Isn't it funny how the states where Democrats are vastly outnumbered by Republicans are also the states with the highest poverty levels, the highest rates for high school dropouts, the most people on public assistance, the highest number of uninsured, the highest unemployment, and on and on.

House gives preliminary OK to bill requiring cooperation between Kansas Turnpike Authority, KDOT
It's the build it and forget it mind set. That is the problem nationally with our infrastructure. Too many people think you just build it and you're done. A good example is the county bridges in Kansas. Over 600 are more than 100 years old and about 12,000 more are at least 75 years old. The expected service life of a bridge is 50-75 years. In todays dollars it would cost about $2 billion to bring all the deficient county bridges back up to current safety standards.

Brownback budget director apologizes for numbers error
The Wichita Eagle called them on it last week. It amazes me that most of the newspapers in the state including the Eagle-Beacon, Hays paper, and the KC Star do not support Brownback and have called him out on many issues yet the sheep in this state continue to blindly follow him and the other conservative Republicans.

Sound Off: Tree branches
I've had the same problem. I've read the instructions on the website and tried making shorter bundles, smaller diameter bundles, putting them in a bag, and tying them with different twine and string, but I still haven't figured out the trick. They just don't take them and you can't get anyone to tell you what you are doing wrong so you can change it. It isn't consistent sometimes you can do it the same way two times in a row and one week they will be picked up and the next they are left.

Transportation secretary has no specifics on savings if agency takes over turnpike
It looks like another power grab by Brownback. The legislation that created the KTA set it up as a quasi-public organization. The governor does not have direct authority over it like he does KDOT. He appoints 3 of the 5 members of the board of directors but 2 are members of the legislature. If it can be brought into KDOT then he gains more power.

What, you think that need to know something about your department to be a cabinet secretary in the Brownback administration? A man with a fake IT degree can be the CIO. Who needs education professionals on the committee studying education? Name one cabinet secretary who knows anything about their department. You only need to be in lock step with Sam and a friend of the Koch's. Why actually know anything?
