Opinion

GUEST COLUMN, Dane Hicks, kaninfo.com

We can rest assured that the special session of the state legislature beginning Tuesday, called to reportedly approve a plan to return some tax money to Kansas taxpayers, didn’t begin the way it should – with an apology from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly.

For five years now and particularly in regard to 11 bills Kelly thwarted which were designed to bring relief to over-taxed Kansans, our supposedly “moderate” governor vindictively continued to veto efforts by the legislature to return part of the state’s growing surplus to the people who paid it in. Kelly’s performance on tax relief has been abysmal, even as consumer prices skyrocketed under the national mismanagement of the Biden Administration and sucked hundreds of dollars more a month from household budgets. Indeed, Kelly may hold the record for most tax relief plan vetoes by any governor in state history.

MY PERSPECTIVE, Gary Damron

The past two weeks we've reviewed, in Revelation chapters 4-15, the interplay of God’s judgement upon sin, but also protection of His followers and songs in heaven. Many are aware that Old Testament Psalms are a collection of songs passed down through centuries of Hebrew worship. In Revelation it may be surprising to also notice songs, while cataclysmic events are occurring on earth.

THE POSTSCRIPT, Carrie Classon

I’ve been working on a script with a producer named Eli.

I’m going to perform a show made from pieces of columns I’ve written over the years. I’ve been looking for themes and ideas and stringing them together, and I thought I’d done a pretty good job, so I sent off a draft to Eli.

“This is not what we talked about!” Eli told me.

I’m a political nerd, I know. I read multiple opinion columns on a daily basis and on occasion I agree with one or two.

But I read them, anyway.

We have gotten to the point in society where we don’t believe we have to listen to anything that does not fit our own narrative.

One person even told me they were not going to “put this in my spirit” as a response to some friendly concerns.
