Now that the last USD 259 bond project is finished, it won’t be long before it’s telling the taxpayers it needs another one. Mark my words.

I would be more inclined to find additional funds for the Kansas courts if I were convinced that they are achieving maximum efficiency in daily operations.

My 6-foot-1 brother attended a concert at the Sprint Center in Kansas City and it was a tight fit. And in case you haven’t noticed, everyone has to stand to let anyone pass through. Quit complaining.
