Lawmakers punish success and reward mediocrity in Kansas education

The Kansas Legislature faces a 205 million dollar gap for the next year with higher education targeted for cuts while some leaders push more school aid. The author argues colleges improved after 1999 reform, while K 12 lags, calls for reform, warns of tax hikes, and predicts voter backlash if mediocrity is rewarded. The piece contrasts states' higher education gains with failing K 12, urging accountability and change.

Population growth fuels urban sprawl and must be addressed

The piece argues sprawl stems half from land use and half from population growth. It cites a study of 100 urban areas showing 14,545 square miles consumed over 20 years and notes Los Angeles remains densely populated due to growth. It calls for stabilizing growth, despite political backlash from immigration advocates and land-use planners.
