Ottawa city commissioner Gene Ramsey and city commissioner Sara Caylor testified against Kansas House Bill 2271 proposing partisan city and school board elections in November.

Senator comments highlighted potential statewide savings but were deemed negligible compared with local impact. Doug Carder is The Herald’s senior writer.
