There seem to be two issues you can always count on for some serious debate in Topeka: the budget, and abortion.

Topeka, KS – Today, Kansas Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh announced he would resign his position effective February 15, 2010.
“It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to serve my fellow Kansans as Secretary of State for the last 15 years. My family and I have been very blessed by this opportunity. The [...]
Turns out when you shoot someone… are seen doing it, admit to it, and go to trail you’re found guilty.
This is a travesty to conservatives, particularly because today marks the beginning of the GOP’s convention Kansas Days and there were a lot of people hoping that Roeder could make the How To Commit Crimes workshop [...]
The Kansans for Quality Communities held a press conference this morning calling on lawmakers to enact more responsible tax policies that reflect the budget requirements of the State of Kansas.

The Wichita Eagle just posted about the email Sen. Sam Brownback’s campaign sent out about his new campaign iPhone application.
I applaud any candidate who utilizes new technologies to reach out to people. So often Kansas candidates are too hooked into the Leave It To Beaver trip back to the 50’s when it comes to new [...]
As we’ve come to expect with the Party of No, forming policy that benefits their constituents, is financially sound, and free of moral judgement is beyond their apparent reasoning level. Enter today’s prime example, Sen. Tim Huelskamp!
In the 2009 leg session, Huelskamp introduced an amendment to the budget that would have withheld all federal funds [...]
Huffington Post reports the DC to district travel comparing Rep. Jerry Moran (R-01) to Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-02)
“Republican Jerry Moran spent $41,999 traveling his district, the largest in Kansas. Neighbor Lynn Jenkins (R), of the much-smaller 2nd district, spent $14,800 traveling in the third quarter. A Moran spokesperson noted that Moran’s district is “roughly the [...]
Earlier this fall, the Kansas Supreme Court filed a complaint against former Attorney General Phill Kline’s Assistant AG, Stephen Maxwell, alleging he mislead state and county offices, as well as lied to a judge in order to shut down two abortion clinics in the state. Yesterday, the Kansas Supreme Court filed a similar complaint against [...]
As we posted earlier today, Rep. Jenkins has no problem entering a lobbyist’s comments into the Congressional Record. If the rest of us did that in school or at work, I think we’d all be called out for plagarism.
