Check out an EXTRA SPECIAL Week In Review from KCPT.
Here's the rather witty intro from KCPT's Nick Haines . . .
"This week we push aside our regular reporters to bring you pithy and insightful state lawmakers on both sides of state line to comment on the news instead. After all every one of our stories this week involve state government. Why wouldn't we ask the people who are making the decisions on your behalf? And in fact, they've all promised to be even more witty and enlightening than the reporters we normally have around the KCWIR table..."
The reviewers:
Pat Colloton
KS House (R) Leawood
Will Kraus
MO Senate (R) Lee's Summit
Jolie Justus
MO Senate, (D) Kansas City
Scott Schwab
KS House, (R) Olathe

KCPT: Kansas City Week in Review - May 25, 2012
I thought it was a nice chat but didn't quite explain why this session was EXCEPTIONALLY UNPRODUCTIVE for both Missouri and Kansas.
Before the show, I had always thought Scott Schwab was just a bit off kilter, but after having listened to him, now I'm aware that he's a complete WHACK JOB!
ReplyDeleteIf it were up to Scott, the taxpayers would pay all the costs of business and there'd be no public revenue at all. Of course he didn't discuss who would pay for fire protection, cops, streets, and all the rest.
I guess that would be you and me.
6:35 has Schwab down correctly; he is a whack job. Olathe keeps sending the nuttiest people to the legislature. They all oppose public school funding but Olathe has one of the best and fastest growing school districts in the state. Go figure! Voters don't know what these clowns are not doing for them.
ReplyDeleteKraus is an empty suit. Nice smile and that's all there is.
ReplyDeleteSurprise!!! It seems all 4 agreed that not much good got done this session, and there remain BIG problems unresolved.
ReplyDeleteThere's a school of thought known as "socionomics" which says that social trends and financial markets are linked together. Currently, we've entered a negative social mood trend with increased negativity/violence in music, movies, politics, etc., as the financial markets are turning down in the early stages of an economic depression.
Beats watching Dirty Mary Sanchez.
