YES on SB 1 in #KSLeg to #DitchDST! “More daylight in the morning with year-round Standard Time can lead to health benefits.”

#ksleg looking into the use of STAR Bonds as a possible financing vehicle for the #Chiefs and #KCRoyals stadiums, up to 100% of the total.

Kansas plan to get Chiefs, Royals relies on billions in bonds with ‘high degree of risk’

Agree with authors; seems farfetched. $250mil/yr sales tax rev for 30yrs could be needed. WyCo sales tax rev in 2022 appears to only be around 80mil. Though maybe Im not reading that right https://wycokck.opengov.com/transparency/#/2009/

Laura Kelly is the 18th most popular governor in the country with an approval rating of 58%.

For comparison, at this point in their term, Kathleen Sebelius (D) was at 67% and Sam Brownback (R) was at 22%. #Kansas #ksleg

In line (via Zoom) for city council public comment, on the proposed ordnance to make Lawrence a sanctuary city against the anti-trans and anti-intersex Kansas law SB180. At around 90 minutes of public comment now and there are many more people ahead of me.

I think now in Kansas with yesterday's law that passed, I am not legally allowed to use ANY gendered restroom.

Pls read content warned thread below (it's probably going to be short unless I lose my temper - I tried to calm down since last night)

BREAKING: Kansas Republicans have successfully overridden the Governor veto to now authorize genital inspections of children in order for kids to play sports. A very dark & disturbing day.

"Using only common sense to navigate sex & gender is about as useful as it would have been to only use common sense to build the Mars rover Curiosity. In many ways sex & gender are more 'rocket science' than rocket science itself."

Weird #KSLeg moment, what does this piece of legislation even mean?

(I'm guessing the governor will veto it, but what is even being proposed here?)

Great writeup of something both nonsensical and hurtful from the @lawrencekstimes -

If you (GOP #ksleg members) don't realize how hateful your speech is, how ugly these bills are, then have some heartfelt conversations w/ your colleagues who are trans allies. Review the testimony against these bills (vastly outnumbering pro testimony). Read this: https://marcelharmon67.substack.com/p/dear-kansas-legislators. Open your hearts. Please. 2/

#ksleg GOP members - I'm pleading w/ you as the parent of a trans kid, have some compassion. The hateful things you say on the floor in support of these bills is damaging to trans kids. 1/

17) Public schools are required to provide access to physical education and physical fitness programs.
18) Public schools are required to provide access to sex education for students.

Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and there may be other requirements depending on the state and local laws.

UPDATE: More than 85% of the oil has been recovered from the Keystone spill, TC Energy says. And, the Wash. Co. News reports the Keystone is by far the county's biggest source of local tax revenue: https://www.kcur.org/news/2023-01-18/crews-have-cleaned-up-most-of-the-oil-that-spilled-out-of-the-keystone-pipeline-in-kansas #ksleg #oilandgas #kansas

Shame on these backwards, fear-mongering assholes. #ksleg

@ksucats96 @kcappleguy I have a permanent #ksleg tab open on the webapp version of the platform. I'm hoping it will get busier.

@kcappleguy moving to this platform will take time. I think several more #ksleg will join Mastodon. I'll keep searching the #ksleg hashtag here.

So is #ksleg going to make it to Mastodon? What do you think @ksucats96 ?

@KCStar This is why I don't believe Kobach will last four years as Kansas' attorney general. He'll get caught up in scandal (We Build the Wall, 1/6 sidelines) or be asked to represent Trump in whatever crimes he gets charged with because he's the only pseudo-legitimate lawyer willing to defend Trump.

In the meantime, he'll happily use that state-issued credit card for his own personal reasons. #Kansas #ksleg

I call complete BS over the No fly zone over the Keystone spill. TC Energy, and the oil/gas industry generally, have every reason to want to keep the full extent of the damage they’ve caused under wraps. But we need to see it, and to know. #ksleg

@gwensnyder a lot of the pols, journalists & activists in Kansas use the #ksleg tag, that’s not the kind of thing that transportable easily and given that there RWers involved it may never be.

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona dropped a tweet that missed the point of education. Here's a much better and awesome perspective from the Kansas State Board of Education, goals and outcomes for students. #KansansCan #ksleg #ksed

"KY Supreme Court declares neo-voucher for private schools unconstitutional. This one is special. Whereas other courts have allowed states to skirt prohibitions on funding private schools through convoluted tax schemes, KY court sees right through it."
