Brownback to sign bill loosening AT&T rules in Kansas
Gov. Sam Brownback will sign a measure easing regulation of AT&T Inc. in Kansas. The law allows deregulation across exchanges with majority landlines, aims to boost investment and broadband, and may raise basic landline bills for some rural and elderly customers. The signing event will occur at an AT&T facility in Mission.

From Separate to Equal: Truman Medical Centers story
Kansas filmmaker Kevin Willmott presents a hour long documentary on Kansas City's segregated hospital era. It details General Hospital No 1 for whites and No 2 for minorities before their merger in 1957 and Truman Medical Centers opening in the 1970s to serve the needy and train UMKC students. The film notes black doctors training as janitors and nurses ferrying incubators for premature babies and highlights the fear and inadequacy of care under Jim Crow. It airs on Kansas City Public Television and at local screenings with city leaders invited.
