Border war over taxes for Kansans working in Missouri
Kansans working in Missouri lost a property tax exemption under a new Missouri law effective last month. Governor Blunt repealed the initiative after requests from Gov. Sebelius and others, but it was not placed on a special session agenda. The change could raise Missouri tax revenue by about 11 million, while Kansas faces potential loss around 5 million.

pampered students cheat out of real college experience

He believes today’s students lack resilience and real-world insight, preferring comfort over growth. He laments the lost apprenticeship of college life and warns of future dissatisfaction.
