Missouri education board president resigns amid sex misconduct suit
The Missouri State Board of Education president, Rev. Stan Archie of Christian Fellowship Baptist Church in Kansas City, resigned after a lawsuit accusing him of sexual misconduct with a teenager. The suit, filed by a former congregant, alleges lewd comments, coercion, and sexual activity beginning when she was 15, with accusations also naming the church. Archie's attorney denies the allegations and says they will be proven false.

Brownback tax plan aims to cut income tax for the rich
Governor Brownback proposes trimming the top personal income tax rate to 3.5 percent and the lower rate to 1.9 percent by 2017 while keeping the sales tax at 6.3 percent and eliminating homeowner and mortgage deductions. The plan would cut personal taxes by about 1.8 billion over five years but raise other costs, with a net revenue gain of roughly 700 million. Kansas House leaders and Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan criticized the plan, noting it disproportionately benefits the wealthy. Jordan cited a study by economist Arthur Laffer and argued Kansas could maintain schools amid tax cuts. A Johnson County resident earning the county’s average salary and home value would face a net tax cut of 145 dollars.
