For activists in Johnson County, please mark your calendar for two important public meetings later this month.
Kansas Senate Blocks Reform for State Courts
The decisions made by Kansass appellate courts affect everyone in our state, yet the judges making those decisions are selected by an elite group of lawyers who represent less than 1 percent of Kansans. A new bill being considered by the Kansas legislature would change that, however, and provide voters a voice in the selection of our judges.

Legislative Update
Gov. Brownback, in response to a budget shortfall of nearly $500 million, has proposed eliminating the Kansas Arts Commission and transferring its functions to the Kansas Historical Society. The Arts Commission receives $750,000 in state taxpayer dollars annually. The Governor is proposing that approximately $550,000 be eliminated and used to help satisfy the budget shortfall. The remaining $200,000 would be appropriated to the Historical Society for the purpose of seeking grant monies.
