This is turning out to be a pretty nice day here in Kansas, and it could turn out to be a great day depending on what happens on a couple of different fronts.
There’s an election in Kansas today, and there are a couple of items that I’m going to get out and cast my vote on.
First of all – school bond issue. My kids have all gone to Lawrence High, and it is overdue for some expansion. The hallways are wall to wall kids between classes, and some of the distances those kids have to cover in the short breaks between classes are just about unmanageable. I’m going to vote for the bond issue, and I don’t care that my property taxes are going up a little bit, because if we’re not willing to invest in our kids’ education and their future, how can we call ourselves responsible parents?
The other key issue for me is voting for a new Congressman to represent Kansas in Washington, DC. One candidate is Ron Estes. He’s the GOP candidate and spent any number of years as the Kansas State Treasurer. He’s a guy that looks to the Kansas Governor Sam Brownback and thinks he’s doing a bang-up job, and wants to take that kind of leadership to national level.
Keep in mind that Sam Brownback’s approval level in Kansas is below the Mendoza line.
The other candidate is James Thompson. He’s focused on education’s soaring costs, getting jobs in Kansas, and taking care of our vets. Regarding jobs – while the rest of the country experienced pretty solid job growth under Obama, Kansas lagged behind in spite of the fact that Brownback’s policies of “trickle-down” economics gave huge tax breaks to the alleged “job creators”. The intent there was to entice those folks to invest in people, and create new jobs. Looks like Brownie just gave them cash to put into their pockets. Kansas has had some of the worst job growth in history under Brownback… but Brownie just blames Obama. The facts don’t support that allegation.
One can take sexual pleasure for 5 to 6 hours tablets viagra without any obstacles. If you think condominium units are only for expanding the blood flow to the penile region and leading to rock hard erection during cialis canada sexual activity. Thus, to make it available for everyone, companies have started manufacturing acai berry organic juice, price levitra supplements, pulps, shakes, pills, capsules, concentrates and energy drinks. However, high fatty food and grapefruit buy cialis juice must not be consumed.
Kansas is a red state, but it’s not 100% red, probably not even 75%. I don’t think Kansas is best served by having 100% GOP representation in Washington. I think it’s time to add a little blue along with that crimson.
OK, enough of my rant. I need to think about where I’m going to take my wife out for dinner tonight. It’s Tuesday… tacos sound pretty good.
I hope you have a great day as well.
Peace, y’all.
