Opinion Line (June 10)

The schools can’t operate on $3 billion and part of local property taxes? I’m with the governor and Legislature. Budgets need to be cut, not increased. The Kansas Supreme Court has lost its way.

I shook my head at House Speaker Ray Merrick’s statement that the justices are using Kansas kids for “their own political gain.” There is no gain. Brownback and company, not the court, are responsible for getting us into one fiscal disaster after another and thus the need to litigate.

Legislators have managed to upset the parents of 480,000 students with their mistaken fight with the Supreme Court, which is only doing its job under the constitution. They have poked an angry beast and should come to realize it during next fall’s elections.

Hillary Clinton is a draft dodger.

If you want four more years of Obama-style giving away America to Mexico and knuckling under to Vladimir Putin and China all the time, then you better vote for Clinton.

Establishment Republicans need to face the fact that Donald Trump got more Republican votes in the primaries than anyone else. He represents and is the symbol of the Republican Party.

Since WSU president John Bardo has chosen to repurpose my alma mater as an industrial park, I have chosen to redirect my estate finances.

I’m enjoying the Wichita River Festival. But, seriously – $7 for a cheeseburger?

My family and I noticed one thing missing at a recent Wichita Wingnuts game: the old scoreboard and “Gertie the Goose.” The new scoreboard is hard to read and was not working properly. We want Gertie back.

I actually found a less comfortable seat than at Intrust Bank Arena – the new red general admission seats at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium. I would pay more if they’d left it as open bleacher seating.

Julie Dombo inspires me beyond words.
