Squeaky clean free wash

Opinion

GUEST COLUMN, Jackie Mundt, Kansas Farm Bureau

 

A few weeks ago, I hit a milestone that seems silly but gave me a huge sense of accomplishment. I reached my goal of closing all three of my fitness rings on my watch for 365 days in a row.

Closing the rings on my watch requires standing at least one minute per hour for 12 hours a day, moving enough to burn 350 calories and exercising for at least 30 minutes a day.

Kansas has potential — everyone knows it. Strong communities, a central location, and good, hard-working people.

However, when it comes to economic growth, job creation, and opportunities, the state is improving but there’s more work to do. And now that the 2025 legislative session is over, the real question is: Did lawmakers do enough to help Kansas grow — or did they play it too safe again?
