I am sick of the state revenue reports. It’s time to end the experiment and go back to taxing everyone equally.


Nope, state and municipal employees carrying guns will not be allowed in my residence or property. Better have a warrant. Stick that in your pipe, Sen. Forrest Knox.


Kansas educators have the governor they didn’t vote against.


Hey, USD 259: Save money by doing away with the magnet schools. Go back to neighborhood schools. If the elitist wannabes want to go across town, let them provide their own transportation.


Blame the guns. Blame the person. Blame the laws. I blame TV networks. If TV were more entertaining, we would all be at home on our couches, with no time to buy guns or congregate en masse to be shot.


Rep. Tim Huelskamp says Roger Marshall is not who he says he is. But Huelskamp sure has told us who he is – a man with no positive achievements to run on who resorts to smear ads to malign his opponent.


Did Bob Dole seriously suggest Huelskamp focus on issues rather than misleading attacks? Such attacks worked well when Dole besmirched the reputation of Bill Roy more than 40 years ago. On the other hand, why hasn’t Marshall addressed the substance of the Huelskamp ads?
