Crooked cop couldn't remember the Miranda Rights and threw a pizza party to celebrate... This story gets worse with every new revelation.

Suggesting that lead paint in water is of trivial importance is cartoonishly evil

The ghouls are back at it again with the flat tax proposal. Infuriating that they keep bringing this up; Laura Kelly and the handful of reasonable Republicans need to stand their ground. Please contact your state senators and representatives today!

I really like Laura Kelly's takes here; glad to see that the looming water crisis, education crisis, and rural hospital shutdowns are taking center stage in her budget. Hopefully the Republicans are willing to support these measures as well, and even better if they drop the idiotic flat-tax proposal and school vouchers proposal they put forward perennially at this point...

Good to see a responsive governor willing to take ownership for things under her watch! Wish more politicians would grow to be even half the person Laura Kelly is

Will be interesting to see if Laura Kelly and Steve Morris can bring Kansas to moderate positions.
