Jo Co Legislator “Cautiously Optimistic” Colyer Will Bring New Tone to Capitol.
From the Shawnee Mission Post: “The task before the legislature is to reflect our priorities by funding the core functions of government in ways that protect our quality of life. The effects of ignoring other areas (such as the department of children and families) are clear. Even as we move to fund our priorities, this isn’t a case of an either/or situation. We must have an adequate and equitable school funding formula. Continued failure to fund adequately and equitably must be acknowledged for what it is: a failure to uphold the rule of law.” https://shawneemissionpost.com/2018/01/29/capitol-update-sykes-says-shes-cautiously-optimistic-colyer-will-change-tone-in-governors-office-69431 Originally posted to...

Leave a Comment KCUR Article on Dale Dennis Kerfuffle
“Lawmakers and superintendents who support Dennis, and at least one state board member, confirmed Friday that they had known about the situation and Dennis had not hidden it over the years. “House Speaker Ron Ryckman and Senate President Susan Wagle penned a letter on Wednesday to the state board calling for Dennis to get suspended without pay. That letter leaked to reporters, and the Republican leaders’ move was interpreted by various forces in the Capitol as political maneuvering in the ongoing fight over how much state money to spend on schools.” http://kcur.org/post/dean-kansas-school-finance-survives-fire-gop-leaders#stream/0 Originally posted to Facebook on 1/28/18....
