Kansas Republicans Accuse State Agency of Improperly Shifting Disability Service Funds

Kansas Republicans Accuse State Agency of Improperly Shifting Disability Service Funds

Kansas Republicans on a legislative budget committee have renewed their discontent with Governor Laura Kelly’s administration, alleging that the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) improperly reallocated approximately $24 million. This money, according to GOP lawmakers, should have benefited 5,300 individuals on the state’s intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) waiting list. Instead, the funds were internally transferred by KDADS to expand aid for Kansans with severe brain injuries, the frail elderly, and those requiring technology assistance for disabilities. A significant portion, about $19 million, was directed towards the needs of frail elderly Kansans. House Speaker Dan Hawkins, R-Wichita, previously accused the agency of a 'blatant bureaucratic shell game.' Senator Rick Billinger, a Goodland Republican, noted that the I/DD service-delivery challenge has historically been attributed to a lack of providers, not funding shortfalls. However, KDADS Secretary Laura Howa...

'Mock the Flock' Group Protests Surveillance Cameras in Wichita, Citing Privacy Concerns

'Mock the Flock' Group Protests Surveillance Cameras in Wichita, Citing Privacy Concerns

A new group named 'Mock the Flock' held its inaugural protest, 'Unflock the Block,' in northeast Wichita, Kansas, to raise awareness about concerns regarding Flock surveillance cameras. Members of the group, including Tom Maffei and Mary Stang, expressed their belief that these cameras are harmful and infringe upon privacy rights. Maffei cited instances across the country, including some in Sedgwick County, where police officers allegedly misused Flock cameras, such as stalking ex-partners. The protest saw support from passersby, with some even stopping their cars to join briefly. Protesters wore license plates and performed the Macarena dance to give the cameras 'something to look at.' The group aims to see the city remove these cameras and plans its next demonstration for Kansas Constitution Day on September 17.

Attorney General Todd Blanche Expresses Concern Over 'Pandemic' of Gender Transitions in Schools, Justice Department Files Lawsuit

U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche has voiced significant concern regarding what he termed a 'pandemic' of gender transitions occurring in schools across the United States. During an appearance on Fox News, Blanche stated that parents, regardless of their location, would not want schools to change their child's name without parental notification. He announced a partnership with the Department of Education to address this trend. This statement follows a 'first-of-its-kind lawsuit' filed by the Justice Department against a Kansas school district. The lawsuit aims to prevent the district from 'facilitating secret 'gender transitions' for children at school without their parents’ knowledge or consent.' The district denies any wrongdoing and faces the potential loss of nearly $70 million in federal funds if found in violation of federal law. The core of the lawsuit revolves around internal school guidelines, which were never formally adopted as policy, suggesting that requests from transgender students to keep ...
