Opinion Line (June 9)

Obama and the Democrats plan to make income inequality a campaign issue. Yet it was their remedies that resulted in the snail-like economic recovery and the greatest income inequality in our nation’s history.

“Giant data hack may expose major national secrets.” Now you know why Hillary Clinton used her private e-mail.

Hillary’s refusal to answer questions from the press, donors to the Clinton Foundation seeking government business, funny stuff with her e-mails, her refusal to take a position on the trade legislation, the increasing divisiveness of her speeches – these are just a few reasons she should not be president.

Why am I still seeing George Stephanopoulos on TV?

I have made up my mind: If our next president is named Clinton, Bush or Caitlyn, I’m moving to Canada.

New signs for bathroom entrances: “men,” “women” and “not sure.”

Finally, Kansas has something to brag about: At least we aren’t Louisiana. Louisiana has a $1.6 billion deficit versus Kansas’ measly $406 million hole. They don’t call us “red states” for nothing.

I guess we working folks will have to pay more in taxes on groceries and drive on crappy roads so the ladies who lunch at the country club can have tax credits for their hobby businesses.

The Kansas tax and budget situation is simple: Want good schools, roads and services? You’ve got to pay for it. Want low taxes? Then be happy with lousy services.

It takes no great talent to sit on the sidelines and snipe at the Kansas Legislature. So I am confused as to why they insist on passing new laws that make it easier.

Come on, Wichita – we have the best possible chief in house. Let’s make Nelson Mosley our police chief.

Why wasn’t D-Day on the front page of The Eagle? I’m reading your paper because of what these men and women sacrificed.

It would be nice if Eagle readers could see “Doonesbury” comics, such as the one Sunday featuring the Brownback tax plan, in the printed newspaper rather than just online.

From local coaches, athletes and families: Thank you to the many sponsors and volunteers who participated in the Kansas Special Olympics Summer Games at WSU last weekend.
