Editorial laments political battle over two proposed western Kansas coal plants. It notes vetoed bills, failed overrides, and calls for depoliticized, science-based energy planning. Advocates consider nuclear wind or solar, stressing environmental and economic implications and federal policy factors.
The 2008 campaign may end the Vietnam War as a political issue, with little contention expected over Vietnam. McCain and Obama face differing legacies from Vietnam, but the war’s impact on this election appears muted, suggesting a final quiet on the topic. David Shribman notes veterans’ prominence in past contests and questions whether the war’s political afterlife has truly ended.
Members of the local firefighters union approved a two year work agreement with the city after a three hour meeting. The pact provides a 5 percent pay increase in January and a 3.8 percent hike the following year subject to inflation projections. Also notes from May 27 1908 include Santa Fe rail official Koontz estimating Kansas wheat output at about 90 million bushels and the state penitentiary in Lansing reaching 1300 prisoners for the first time.
Letters from Richard Heckler and Haley Grosdidier trade views on government spending and tax levels, and on gay marriage. They question how much the state should tax and whether marriage rights should hinge on race or sexual orientation. The writers urge fiscal prudence and equal rights.
