The Great State of Kansas Our Enduring Editorial
A fictional obituary for Kansas laments the 2013 demise after a drawn out battle with extremism. It recalls the state’s Civil War era progressivism, early education reforms, civil rights strides, aviation roots, and iconic enterprises, contrasting past achievements with modern political changes and out-of-state influence. Memorials are directed to the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, Kansas Policy Institute, or Americans for Prosperity in care of the governor.

The move could reduce Democratic campaign money and reshape alliances among Republicans and Democrats, with outcomes unlikely to crystallize until next year’s elections. Martin Hawver notes the potential turning point for state politics.
