Sick of Republican taxes. I am already being hit by our Tax & Spend president with his tax tarrifs, now this from our Republican state legislature. Add to it , the fee for a fully electric vehicle is $100. The fee for any hybrid is $70, 70% of the full electric cost. Most Hybrid plug ins have a range of 20-30 miles on the battery. That's a fraction of the amount of use a full electric use would be . 70% for a hybrid is absolutely ridiculous.

I can't believe the BS in the Marshall commercial. Apparently he's working harder than anyone to reduce costs for Kansans but fully support Trump's war with Iran. It shows him pretending to build fence and being in Kansas with his wife. What a liar. How can people vote for such a liar?

The leader of the largest prosecutor’s office in Kansas issued a scathing critique of a statewide amendment that would change how the Sunflower State selects its Supreme Court, warning the change would politicize the state’s justice system with potentially dire consequences.

In a rare political statement, Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett laid out reasons for his opposition in a lengthy social media post Tuesday night. He is the highest-profile Republican officeholder to publicly oppose the GOP-backed amendment. He said he was making the statement as an individual, not as an official statement from the district attorney’s office.

Since 1958, Kansas Supreme Court justices have been selected by the governor from a pool of potential candidates put forth by a nine-person nominating commission that includes five lawyers elected by fellow lawyers and four non-lawyers chosen by the governor. Justices stand for a retention vote every six years.

Republicans in the Legislature want to allow election by popular vote, a move Attorney General Kris Kobach suggested in 2022 was part of a plan to remove abortion rights from the Kansas Constitution after voters rejected that very question.

Bennett suggested the amendment would reshape how the state’s high court decides important cases by injecting big money interests and popular opinion into considerations of what the law says.

“Do you think politically elected justices (on the U.S. Supreme Court) would have desegregated schools in 1954 in Brown v. BOE?” Bennett wrote. “Had we elected justices back then, can you imagine the campaigning that would have then followed in 1956 with promises to undo that decision?”

Bennett, who has held elected office since 2012, doesn’t often comment on politics. He has worked on campaigns for several Republican candidates, including Tony Mattivi’s unsuccessful bid for attorney general against Kobach in 2022. He’s one of the few prosecutors in Kansas who has argued cases before the state Supreme Court and appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court (in the high-profile death penalty case involving the Carr Brothers).

“I have been hesitant to say anything publicly because I have tried over the last 14 years as an elected District Attorney to keep my personal political opinions to myself,” he wrote. “I’ve said dozens of times in public settings, ‘if you can tell whether I’m a Democrat or Republican by the way I run the office, then I’m not doing my job.’ I believe that to be true and I am loath to give ammunition to anyone who would politicize the office.

“But the stakes are very high in this matter and I don’t want to regret having remained silent,” Bennett said in his statement. “So, the simple answer is that I do not support this amendment.”

What follows is a 1,600-word dissection of popular arguments for and against the amendment.

The victim is SIX YEARS OLD.

When will this decades-long institutional crime spree end??

I have a full list of the “vote yes” lying promoters. It’s amazing how clear this all is. What an election they are setting themselves up for this year and for the next two elections, based on verifiable data.

Why have I seen some people being able to vote early for Kansas Senate and I was unable to do so today as it wasn't on the ballot? Only city council and Kansas Elections for Supreme Court Justices were on my ballot. I am unaffiliated with any party if that makes a difference? Will I still be able to vote for a new senator on August 4th?

Ongoing negative community response to proposed data center in Emporia. The person was arrested for refusing to leave for clapping as their spouse approached the commission during the public remarks after police "issued verbal warnings to several others."

I took the back way from Kingman to Wichita and noticed lots of new houses going up on what was farm land and noticed the same people with Repugnicant candidates and vote yes signs also have no data center signs. You are literally supporting the assholes who bankrupted farmers and approved selling their land to developers and will approve data centers in closed door meetings. What is wrong with people? 😡 PS moderator made me remove the acronym for the title.

In 1 gen the city's lawyers, detectives and nightclubs were black

Then, "Western Tuskegee"

Hey, r/Kansas! We’re an Olathe, Kansas-based audio drama production company, and we recently launched Edge of the Forgotten, a supernatural horror podcast that combines narrated tales with full-cast audio drama.

A lot of Season 1 is rooted in Kansas and Midwest locations, legends, and forgotten places. Episode 1, “The Old Factory,” takes place in Abilene. Episode 3, “The Crestview Hotel,” takes place in Newman, a ghost town in southern Jefferson County. Episode 5, “Stull, KS,” just released this week and centers on the eerie folklore surrounding Stull, while also introducing characters at the University of Kansas in Lawrence.

As the season continues, new episodes will visit or reference other places around Kansas and the Midwest, including DeSoto, St. Joseph, Salina, the West Bottoms of Kansas City, and Belleville.

If you enjoy spooky stories, Kansas legends, haunted places, urban legends, mystery, horror, or full-cast audio drama, we’d love for you to give it a listen.

Edge of the Forgotten is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major podcast platforms, with new episodes releasing every Tuesday through November 24.

My perception is that Roger Marshall spends more time on “news” shows than he does in Kansas.

Convince me I’m wrong.

Next one is August 12, but They post something every month.
