Letter: Police view
PoliceOne.com's survey was NOT conducted using a statistically valid random sample. The results cited in this letter summarizes the opinions of 3% of this group's membership and thus cannot be construed to represent the opinions of the majority of the organization, much less a majority of law enforcement personnel in the US. This is an interesting read, but that is all that it is.
Copied from the website:
PoliceOne’s Gun Policy & Law Enforcement survey was conducted between March 4 and
March 13, 2013. More than 15,000 officers completed the survey, which was promoted
by PoliceOne exclusively to its 400,000 registered members, comprised of verified law
enforcement professionals. Only current, former or retired law enforcement personnel
were eligible to participate in the survey. The survey sample size was broadly distributed
by geography and rank in proportion to the U.S. law enforcement community at
large. Respondents comprised a variety of ranks from departments of all sizes, with the
majority representing departments of greater than 500 officers. Of those that took the
survey, 80 percent were current law enforcement officers and 20 percent were
former/retired law enforcement.

Statehouse Live: Bill would require KU to play Wichita State University in basketball
$1 per dumb idea would be way too much pay!!
Pepe--I don't have actual salary numbers at my fingertips, but legislative salaries and benefits are decent. Besides a salary, they get paid for expenses and are eligible for the state retirement plan and they can also use camapign funds to reimburse themselves for related legislative expenses.

Brownback, senators refused to help Topeka school district in grant application for federal funds
Ironically funny that Lynn didn't get the party-line email in time to not send a letter of support like her chums.
Since most of the grant's proposal was aimed at improving early learning and pre-kindergarten, that only makes FlimFlamSam's "justification" for not supporting the grant even more disgusting, since "Common Core standards are a model for teaching and learning math and reading that are aimed at better preparing students for college and careers."
Oh, my! Three-fourths of the students in the Topeka district are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Did you know that, FlimFlamSam? Hope that you'll be praying for those kids at your prayer festapalooza in Topeka on Saturday.
