Editorial condemns local sales tax to fund schools
The editorial argues against Johnson County using local sales taxes to fund public schools, warning it would undermine statewide equity. It notes the Kansas formula already aims for uniform funding via statewide taxes, suggests broader state roles, and cautions that local wealth gaps would widen. It cites Lawrence concerns and calls for patient, systemic solutions. Randy Weseman is referenced.

Public Forum warns generals on Iraq war risks
The Joint Chiefs of Staff warn a war in Iraq could create the very disaster it aims to avert. President Bush claims to pursue all options to prevent Saddam Hussein from using weapons of mass destruction, but an attack on Baghdad could push him to deploy biological and chemical weapons against U S troops. If the president wants to protect Americans, he should heed the generals who foresee increased danger to U S citizens.
