Kansas pharmacies have a rich history. In 1885, the third public pharmacy school in the entire U.S. opened at the University of Kansas, and we even have five museums dedicated to our proud pharmacy heritage.

This summer, our nation will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Over the next four months we plan to sift back through the layers of what occurred before July 4, 1776.

Well, friends, I am delighted to report that the Seward County Commission acted in a financially responsible way yet again!! In the short couple of months that three of them have been in office, they already had: 1. quit wasting money trying to justify a tax increase none of them had been in favor of to begin with; and, 2. rewritten the budget to put spending in line with tax revenues.

Wow, talk about a change of PACE. After voting on fully 50 bills leading up to “Turnaround,” we pulled back to just two during Week 7 of the Legislature — plus an amendment rejection that gave us a total of three. Not that they weren’t important or time-consuming, because taxes are always at the top for debate, but it demonstrates how time and circumstance can change dramatically during a Session depending on pressure and priorities. It also shows how quickly we sometimes have to shift our focus from the Floor to committee action and vice versa.
