Judges clash with lawmakers over school funding battle
Article compares 1980s Kansas prison crisis led by Judge Richard Rogers to current Kansas K-12 funding disputes. It notes Rogers used a concrete, documentable overcrowding problem to pressure the legislature, threatening drastic action and even releases, ultimately securing funding for 900 prison beds. It contrasts with Judge Bullock's threats to close schools, arguing those lack the same leverage due to appeals and vaguer issues of equity in funding.
