Power play comments on Kansas judiciary control
In late January Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Democrat from Topeka, argued the Kansas judicial branch is the last free from Gov. Sam Brownback's influence. He warned a bill changing Court of Appeals judge selection would put the governor in control of all three branches, declaring no man should have that power.

Supporters seek a similar change for the Kansas Supreme Court through a constitutional amendment, while critics warn it risks compromising judiciary integrity. The Hutchinson News notes the proposal faces a House vote and potential August ballot implications.

A 2011 study found that informing 5000 Americans about income distribution and tax progress increased concern about inequality by 40 percent, yet did not proportionally boost support for tax or welfare reforms. Researchers note heightened information can erode trust in government and fail to mobilize concrete policy backing.
