No more lobbyist written bills for Kansas in 2023
Kansas should bar lobbyist authored legislation after two dramatic failures last year. A controversial Value Them Both amendment failed amid confusing ballot language written by interest groups, while sports betting provisions benefited industry and underperformed tax goals. Missouri’s misuse of a similar bill and a homelessness criminalization measure are cited as cautionary examples. Michael A. Smith of Emporia State University weighs in.
