If I appear To Have Overlooked Something

If it seems to the reader that there are things I should include on this site, either in the form of posts, or as the subjects of pages or categories, don't despair. There are things occurring locally which have attracted my notice, but which, also, have not played out completely in their respective arenas at this point. From state legislation to open lawsuits, (Northeast Kansans really don't understand compliance with federal law) there are reasons for the timing of media coverage for certain events, and that includes websites such as this one. One does not use unripe fruit for jam, and vintage wine does not age in the blinking of an eye.

This Governor Has An Agenda

Surprise, surprise. Governor Sam Brownback, (R, Kansas) has plumetted to a 34% approval rating among his constituents since he was elected in 2010. It would appear that his plan to tax the wealthy even less while cutting budgets for schools and cutting health benefits for disabled children has not been as popular among Kansans as he had previously thought. Also, the governor's attacks on the healthcare choices of women have hit a sour note with a few citizens. Add some tacky public religious posturing a hollow sounding, pharisaical prayer, throw in a twittergate moment, and it seems that we have a governor who is somewhat less popular than he was a couple of years ago. An interesting and disturbing comment about this was made by Minority House Leader, Paul Davis; "This governor has an agenda, and he's not going to let bad poll numbers interfere with that." What the hell does he mean by that? It's obvious that "letting bad poll numbers interfere" would be taking the voters' wishes into account and actually caring about the will of the constituents Brownback represents, but what is this "agenda" to which Davis refers? Does it have anything to do with the Koch Brothers?
