Reminds me of the Wichita flag
Wichita Eagle Opinion Line, December 5, 2017: "So Wichita wants to put its flag on license plates. I hope not. Every time I see it, it reminds me of how much it looks like the KKK emblem." I've noticed this too. Have you? Here is the center of the Wichita flag along with the
blood cross used by the Ku Klux Klan.

Who oversaw Wichita schools when this happened?
Teachers 'fearful' about escalating violence at Southeast High(
Wichita Eagle, December 1, 2017): Some employees at Southeast High School in Wichita say they have 'grave concerns' about escalating violence and unruly behavior at the school, and they're urging leaders to take 'decisive and strong actions' to combat it." This continues a theme from this summer, as further reported in
Behavior is getting worse in Wichita classrooms, data shows. (
Wichita Eagle, June 16, 2017): "Discipline problems have increased substantially in Wichita schools over the past four years, particularly among the district's youngest students, according to data obtained by The Eagle. The situation is frustrating teachers, prompting some of them to leave the profession, and has inspired a new program aimed at teaching elementary school students how to pay attention, follow directions and control their emotions."
I was surprised to learn of these problems that have been developing in the Wichita Public Schools. That's because
John Allison, the immediate past superintendent, was universally praised by the school board and district administration. Allison left at the end of June after serving eight years to become superintendent in Olathe. Hopefully that district will not experience the erosion in discipline that Allison presided over in Wichita.

Quality of life, or a boatload of cash
Ron Sylvester in
The Hutchinson News: "It's all about quality of life. [Wichita Mayor Jeff] Longwell said Wichita drew Cargill and its $60 million investment downtown by investing in its arts community, parks, trails and a new library. Businesses move to town, not because of tax breaks and cash incentives, Longwell said, but because the people who work for those companies want to live there."
First, Wichita didn't
draw Cargill downtown. It was already located in downtown Wichita. Wichita merely
retained Cargill. No new jobs are anticipated.
As to the role of quality of life: Possibly that was a factor. More likely? The millions in subsidy Cargill will receive. Cargill tapped pretty much every economic development incentive program it could, along with a few innovative additions, such as renting its parking garage to the city during the times Cargill doesn't need it. See
More Cargill incentives from Wichita detailed.
Let's ask the mayor this question: If tax breaks and cash incentives were not needed, why did the city (and the state) award so much in incentives?

New from The Sentinel Hutch District Sitting on Large Cash Reserve Balance. The Hutchinson School District, a plaintiff in the Gannon lawsuit, is maintaining cash reserves of almost half of the district operating budget
KU Now Accepting Applications for Social Justice Fellows. The University of Kansas is seeking Social Justice Fellows, the Office of Multicultural Affairs announced recently.
State Funds But School Boards Decide How Money Is Spent. Despite an influx of state aid to public schools, some districts will spend less on instruction as a percentage of their total budget than they did last year.
Media Serve Up Blame for Kansas Teacher Vacancies, Shy From Solutions. In their coverage of teacher vacancies in Kansas, public education in general for that matter, the media have a way of insinuating that some heartless, even racist, forces are oppressing the children of Kansas.

School cash reserves nearly triple state budget requirement
State legislators are legally required to keep cash reserves equal to 7.5 percent of General Fund spending but the average Kansas school district had nearly three times that level - 19.3 percent - in reserve at the beginning of the 2017 school year. That disparity should prompt considerable discussion in the upcoming legislative session. A state efficiency study recommended capping school cash reserves at 15 percent and doing so would produce one-time savings of about $255 million based on this new data, but legislators have been unwilling to seriously consider the matter in prior years.

One of the issues surrounding Naftzger Park in downtown Wichita is land ownership.

It would be interesting to learn how this mistake - if that's what it is - occurred. At one time the city owned the entire block after it acquired land to reform what was skid row.

Wichita WaterWalk contract not followed, again
Wichita city hall failed to uphold the terms of a development agreement from five years ago, not monitoring contracts that protect the public interest.
Beyond this, we now know that neither the city nor the WaterWalk developer followed the terms of the deal. The annual reports were
not supplied by the company, and they were
not requested by the city. As it turns out the annual reports purport to show that the city was owed no money under the profit sharing agreement.
But that's not the point. The issue is that the city did not enforce a simple aspect of the agreement, and the private-sector company felt it did not need to comply. Taxpayers were not protected, and we're left wondering whether these agreements were really meant to be followed.

Deconstructing Don Hineman
Another Kansas legislator explains why raising taxes was necessary. So he says.
Hineman shows that it is difficult to cut spending. People become accustomed to other people paying for their stuff. Legislators want to appear to be doing more for their constituents, providing seemingly free stuff while pushing aside the idea of paying for it. And so government grows, at the expense of our liberty and what might have been had the money been left in the productive private sector.

Decoding Duane Goossen
When reading the writings of former Kansas State Budget Director Duane Goossen, it's useful to have a guide grounded in reality.
For example, Goosen wrote: "We became famous, the poster state for bad tax policy."
No, Kansas became the poster state for
bad spending policy. Our legislature and governor had several years to find ways to reform spending, but there was not the will to do so. One example: The budget for next year contains $47.2 million in spending because the legislature did not adopt a recommended plan to save money on purchasing health insurance for school employees. That number rises to $89.0 million the following year.
