Colyer outlines reform agenda and abortion clash
Kansas Governor hopeful Colyer announced executive orders on open records and government transparency, including waiving fees for records under 100 pages and mandating official emails for state business. He backed KanCare reform, job growth programs, and school funding, while taking a partisan stance on abortion amid a Kansas Supreme Court case. Republican leaders offered cautious praise for bipartisanship, while Democrats called the speech light on substance and heavy with campaign tone.
