Unbelievable. K-12 Committee Chair announces yesterday that today will hear SB 83. Now she says the committee will not consider SB 83, but just gut the bill to put other bills in. Been watching the Lege for 24 years & this highly irregular. Leadership needs to fix #ksleg#ksed

As I mentioned yesterday in a tweet, many in the #ksleg indicate they “don’t understand why younger people don’t want to live in KS.” So, here’s your chance, if you’ve left, what was the reason(s) why? If you haven’t but you’re thinking about it, what will be your final straw?
Fringe groups have led some members of #ksleg to believe the general pop does not support vaccines. That simply is not true. #GetVaccinated#Vaccinessavelives
Headlines around the country are fascinating.
Here's one, referring to the "Ivermectin Amnesty Bill" passed by the KS Senate yesterday:
