Boeing isn’t leaving town. McDonnell Douglas is leaving town under the Boeing logo. This exodus started with Harry Stonecipher after the merger. The old Boeing wouldn’t be leaving Wichita.
If Boeing does not want Wichita, maybe Airbus does. City Council: This is your time to shine and do your job. Go after Airbus like it is Wichita’s last breath.
With the buildings, runways and nearby interstates, just think of the world-class distribution center the Boeing facility would make for a company such as FedEx or UPS.
I’m out here at Boeing trying to find those 97 buildings. Are we supposed to count all the porta-potties?
I agree that no U.S. military contracts should go to companies based in countries other than the U.S. Of course, this also eliminates Hawker Beechcraft, because of its ownership.
How is it that this administration can support outsourcing an Air Force contract to Brazil yet talk about in-sourcing?
If Gov. Sam Brownback plans to eliminate deductions for us little people, he must eliminate the ridiculous tax deductions and taxpayer money giveaways to companies that get our hard-earned money and then leave the state.
Wow – a juicy tax cut for business owners offset by a nice, warm tax increase for workers and the middle class. Businesses and top earners get the elevator; the rest of Kansas gets shafted with higher property taxes, higher sales taxes and more. We have just seen class warfare, and its name is Brownback.
This year the governor projects a surplus of state revenue, but he does not suggest replacing the funds previously cut from education. You don’t get something for nothing. If Kansas continues to underfund public schools, Kansans in the future will be undereducated, like many people in poor countries.
The new Creative Industries Commission would have $200,000 for creative ventures that create jobs. Sure. Poets, for example, can write profitable jingles for Brownback’s next campaign, sculptors can immortalize Kris Kobach in granite, and the National Endowment for the Arts evaluators get to laugh themselves silly.
Who is this Kris Kobach? If he’s a true Republican, why is he trying to bloat our election process with processes that everyone else says aren’t actually needed? I thought Republicans believed in smaller government, not larger.
I cannot believe all the people who think it violates your civil rights to have to show photo ID when voting. These same fools would scream at a business for accepting their stolen credit card without identification.
Kobach was overwhelmingly elected by the citizens of Kansas. The Eagle editorial board needs to come to grips with this and give this man a break.
