KANU News Retention

twenty years ago many people stereotypically thought and environmentalist was someone with long hair who wore moccasins a bandana smoke marijuana but today we note that just isn't true this is kindergarten class at congress elementary school is filled with five and six year old environmental it's students like joy who's been drawing a poster depicting life in the wetlands her and if we don't do it drawing tourists habitats is just one of many projects and activities the minster has given his children are very skinny jeans and aquariums in the classroom quoting chickens or fish or temples the students keep diaries monitoring the growth and development of young animals and to

adults and older children are young the monsters says he's laying the foundation for the children to develop and appreciation in the fourth grade or something that had some experience with skin in a lot more to a lot of the times when kids get to be in the upper grades they don't have as many hands on experiences and the child who really you know touched a turtle or watched the tadpole go through its life cycle as it changes into a frog comprehension of what is possible earlier in the week has focused on to redraw the new commissioner of the state board of education and bill o'reilly who is the president of the kansas advisory council an environmental education they both told me they would rather see environmental education integrated with already landed regions rather than develop an entirely new class adding more hours to student states and the mascara and grieves

but i really think blogs should be a lot of resources should be ordered to teachers so so mm hmm according to teach environmental education the best approach to be to teach teachers how to integrate environmental education to the curriculum rather than setting up a separate horse i think that's the way i do it here we use the whole language of religion learning to read and write and can also former grads to automate to so you know when making a list of words that you got her example the boxer because of the colors that we use for the show and then you take the concepts that are working on and what goes into a story now that the league regulars well as the science curriculum in the given the materials and taught how to do that

or julie it's moving slowly but the minister says the times are changing our nation along with the rest of the world is witnessing a movement to educate society about the need to preserve the environment and discuss as well proving to be a difficult process people's attitudes about the environment need to change the irs to change you run into the difficulties example i remember the community donated fifty small trees school we wanted to plant those on the schoolyard we called under the maintenance people to see that other shuttles for not committing to be digging holes the same time and we very quickly got a phone call that's not exactly say don't do it to discouraging as we do it because it is

a you meet you i see kids in elementary school a lot more invested in recycling cans conserving energy and sometimes and so for recycling other matter and also because we've established her patterns and people in our philosophies were not as flexible and maybe we think we're not american you the problem i don't know maybe only about bill reilly is the president of casey with the kansas advisory council for environmental education but it seems like in this isn't an exciting time there developing solutions or sba younger generation game so state education leaders now face a responsibility to teach children how to play that game cases role is to organize and disseminate information to school teachers and administrators and other state agency personnel promoting methods i'm educating the state's youth about environmental issues a series of albums have been made available

containing facts about the earthly reasons why environmental conservation is important as adjusted projects for the children activities like planted trees recycle cans glass and papers how to build a birdhouse and conserve electricity for seventeen years this has been cases role to act as an official advisor to the state board of education to tell people what they can do to save the environment but not to tell people that they have to do it which prompts the question if the state is so concerned about educating its use about the environment and why hasn't mandated some type of environmental education reduces people first need to be aware of that mandating is not the only solution wasn't isn't the only solution and whether it's a practical solution would have to do with the politics economics philosophy is a number of issues to mandate that often carries with it some kind of requirement establishing some funding sources anyone it's the heavyweight in kansas right now knows that we're having

a lot of the fall it with any number of issues right now so for the state legislature to take some kind of action that time it seemed to be almost an astroturf because it would be an automatic invitation only and that they serve coke wouldn't work for less but it wouldn't seem to be yeah for the crows not really drove miller is the commissioner for the state board of education and concurring with levees opinion he says the board would rather see environmental education integrated with already mandated curriculums driehaus third which is on the board of the legislature to have the working poor will be toward our specific content areas that have to be covered they're witty as possible kansas lawmakers could mandate

environmental education riley maintains it shouldn't be the government's responsibility to solve this particular problem well i can say that is my hope is that environmental issues will be a widely accepted and actually implemented part of school curriculums toiletries so those races raised interest in indonesia and that that's not have to be something that we look at our government and so forth later in the week we'll examine programs being implemented by a local schoolteacher who has decided to do with the issue instead of waiting for the government to iraq perhaps you recall we have dr houston in the studio to interview him prior to his trip abroad and he was quite anxious to arrive in poland and to begin his observations of the new polish

government's attempt to open up the state to private enterprise import export trade and free markets houston is teaching it chorus at the central school of planning and statistics in warsaw and he's been lecturing on topics related to private enterprise london

before you left to the new minister of finance have been named belcher of which as i recall you were giving him very high marks and then when they move in and the people in it

i mean at this point the telephone connection became totally unintelligible but what houston said was in reference to polish finance minister about your own which is move last autumn to the control prices which caused immediate inflation instances they began a program to reduce inflation which he thinks has been fairly effective but at the expense of creating a fairly deep recession he says what the polish government must now do is to begin instituting privatization of movies tim says is meeting with a lot of resistance from the left and the right and he thinks if the polish people and the government will give their finance minister another eighteen months or two years he ought to be able to stabilize the polish economy while the same time taking it public by creating private entrepreneurial ownership history will be back at k u and time to teach summer school at which time will offer another update i'm bob pretty by their own admission keranen jon

hamilton deal in strange and unique vegetables but it's a good living last fall it was blue cold is time of year as area residents have come to know it's asparagus hamilton's called valley asparagus east of lawrence is one of the largest asparagus farms around they average one hundred customers per day according to owner karen pendleton many of whom come to pick their own off the twenty acres it's an outing for people that might come out of the pharmacy with a real farm looks like and there's even some sunshine fresh produce what it had advantages and disadvantages and this pick your own concepts the disadvantage is it takes more employees for me to run the farm because i have to have someone in the market to be able to deal with the people when they come out somewhere in the field for them to deal with people out there and then also people are picking for those who don't want to pick their own but an advantage of pictures of people come out and they supply a lot of the labor so i don't have to

hire quite as many to go out and pick and also this particular mentality that you cannot take your own seems like you're always going to take more than you really it when you say leave the farm work with more than what they came up with the pay milton's are frequently asked why asparagus my father in law had always said some year when he's caught up on planting corn spring he likes to plant a whole garden to asparagus and so in one year for some reason we were caught up and he planted the entire garden to asparagus we had planned on eating it all ourselves and our neighbor started asking for me at first year will sign up listener somebody once so much we just colleen mcallen say you're five pounds is ready to come together and that really started looking more into the vegetable industry and saw the picture on farms and really thought that looked like a lot of fun the penalties also raise more traditional crops which they sail in a market on their farm rhubarb hydroponic tomatoes and other vegetables the novelty

item at the hilton says the blue corn that they comprehensively started planning about four years ago way back behind the asparagus at it like a half mile from the road because we didn't want to be embarrassed because this was strange because as a strange even for as the unicorn grew and there were some difficulty finding a grain elevator to bail it or human consumption until a chip manufacturing plant in hiawatha opened and took on the job and the popularity of blue corn chips began to catch on in northeast kansas each year the chips have sold out quickly and specialty stores in hamiltons are among the many kansas farmers who are making use of the cancers agricultural value added process center at kansas state university karen penalties on the leadership council for the center which helps farmers process where agricultural products into profits for themselves and kansas we've worked with a lot of small companies getting things developed were going to be during the sexual going to be doing a lot more

conferencing are helping people with their labeling there's labeling laws that they're that new person into the atm food processing business may not know the rules regulations out we'll have workshops that will give people technical assistance bit making cookies or processing meat karen says the value added center continues to help our business just recently we work with weiner manufacturing it's about them we wanted to sell some blue corn meal along with her blue corn chips and they worked with the us on how we wanted our blue corn ground to add texture and they worked with a sauce of finding out what the protein content was and then some other things that we need to know in order to put this on the market for the consumer that use fresh asparagus and the high protein a blue corn a trip back to a farm market like the penalties can be refreshing and that hamilton's enjoy the visitors this is our social time here there are certain people we only see during april and may

that disparages people you know they come out for the asparagus and that is a lot of fun i mean putting forward a news morning edition in a surprise move the other day the president of the united states changed his name from bush sr korea changing names and my age might sound kind of juvenile he said i'm going out for the trees the president has been on a tree planting binge as part of his campaign to become known as the environmental president as well as the education president the military industrial complex president the poor crime president the name bush conveyed a diminutive burridge minor league president said press secretary marlon juniper sequoia conveys a big walking tall major league president at a news conference the president that made johnny appleseed looked like a flat head at apple tree

borer announced his plans to raise the white house the white house will be replaced with a treehouse he said from now on the president of the united states will be a trade war the recorders a woodland to her presence the korean baby talk to saplings exchange high fives with their branches he wasn't ready to adopt the position of extremists who are in the trees should have the votes but again urged citizens to adopt trees talk to trees take a tree to dinner and of branch out and read for trees and he warned against the use of arboreal epithets and derogatory pans on words such as sap discrimination will not be tolerated he said a nation divided between deciduous evergreen will fall the president ordered the george washington be stricken from that record of american history because inventories chopping down and sit on the legend of the first president of the united states would be replaced by the tail and he didn't share a tree which turned out would be assailant chopped

him down and then admit it openly a mechanical aptitude for prevarication president's a court orders citizens to point at least a billion trees appear to show that he meant business easily was converting to the druid religion and would be sacrificing and occasionally human being to trees countries is more than just a nifty idea that made you feel good he said i'm planning trees was an important component of the national defense in time the entire united states will be covered by an impenetrable umbrella branches he said an enemy missiles will get hopelessly cotton and rendered homeless it's a star wars program this country can afford the president calderon will second order greeks he had his allegation the trees cause pollution people cause pollution which is an ex president said however pollution can actually be good for the environment reporter asked sycamore about pesticides in the food chain which one he asked me dolls working for every tree we plant that's another gallon gas we

can burn crude presents a clear that silence bill although it wants to we can squander energy and poison here if we played a billion trees here if we can cut down a billion trees clear cut the suckers lot about the trees are going to save us how your poetry a man nate jan slattery says that members of the house will be represented by majority leader richard gephardt of misery those on the house budget committee like slattery will be in consultation with gephardt and the house budget committee chair leon panetta i am glad that the president and a bipartisan congressional leadership and at long last one sitting down to talk about this problem because i have said that i was elected to congress and that will only be resolved when the congressional leaders the president and the compromise and major

compromises are going to have to be made i am an optimistic economic summit will bring for some kind of a significant agreement that will enable us to move forward with holding those real urgent problem facing the country so the posturing by administration spokesmen that seems to have been the last week and then on the new shows over the weekend seemed to have aroused the suspicion of the way some democrats that this is an election year trap what about that in colorado all the political posturing and i understand that perhaps the law that have to go on but i'm certainly in colorado that i bring the people of kansas and the people of this country much rather see the president of the united states thank you jury and injury we only

oh yes why things have changed how he proposes to reach a goal and then the congress should either go along with the president or come up with an alternative plan and i believe that the public doesn't really about the first this federal deficit summer people say why now it seems a contributing factors to cause the true cost of the savings and loan bailout originally and when the president made a pledge to read my lips actually mean that is politically popular to play something like

that you're the leader of the country it really irresponsible because no and continuing uncertainty or control and the reality is that nobody knew the oil cleanup problem it's going to cost much more than originally projected in that one of the reasons why it is so important for us to have a day when everything on the table it has gotten his newsletter his opinion one of the hotly debated points will be not whether additional federal revenues made it but instead who will be asked to pay slattery has long contended that the tax brackets hurt middle income earners and if those with larger income six figure income should bear more of the tax burden i'm bob kerrey a ha and mccarver dedication that way they continued commitment

to me through the years name for the cheyenne at and they think the four square mile basin was and still is treasured for conte the martian is also home to some three hundred bp as well as here over the weekend federal state and private organizations recognized the bottom entry into the rounds or convention is the old its global environmental treaty and was founded to protect the wetlands that twenty thousand acres were purchased by the state more than fifty years ago like and roads were built to help manage water flow from the blood and deception greek later a diversion now was completely from the r kansas river however inflict dvr kansas river began to decline and it became a division between wildlife and farmland irrigation many private organization that the end of a map of africa to return show had gotten to its original day he became increasingly important as other north

american wetlands were being destroyed governor mike hayden very shy and bottoms is often referred to as they can to a local grocer serengeti because it represents the most valued water and wetland ecosystem in the nation on a weekday mm hmm restoration of the bottles have been a top priority in his administration that it has been the cooperation at the federal state and private level that has provided funding for the massive project most environmentally concerned protecting and confirming a habitat cannot be measured in dollars but more than three million dollars of that each year to continue nature's after the

director and the us asian wildlife service john turner's there and that will theory cannot marry him about that mm hmm and can fill in cheyenne bought international recognition to understand they receive more letters supporting the night and any recognition so i had gotten the first non federal march to be lifted at the wetland international important here is that there will be great educational and research opportunities because of the marshland what the waterfowl population being at the lowest point the nation's history and that continued destruction of other wetland magnified and it also recognized that the human spirit find the western shore bird reserve network argentina and make a broker made a presentation and urged officials to continue their work

as well as skill patients hello joe there are continued water management problems that shy and gotten the president they have no way to control the rubble of the portland doing heavy rainfall they are you know i have a huge problem but governor had many environmentalists say it can be worked out with cooperation from the state an area farmers everyone does agree however that this restoration project is without any hair and it will be ongoing but they will continue

to maximize for efficiency to entice more words officials would also like a theme or public use the peace bell kansas university has something of a history of handling the electronic media half heartedly we're not all many faculty members still remember with tears taste the way the university booted its chance to have an educational television channel channel that eventually wound up at washburn university as katie wu and you won't get much argument that can use video production facilities in all areas are minimal and considerably behind the times he has been drifting along and books and paper world and

that world is dying so the notion that universities are in the business of providing classroom space and an instructor to stand at the front of their classroom and students to come sit right there and listen some point katie you just look to the future the university of the future will be in the business of delivering education instruction and training to wherever they're needed by whenever media are most appropriate and efficient increasingly these days that means delivering education by video the outgoing executive vice chancellor seems to recognize this and she named a committee to report on what the university needs to do and how big the bill will be the answer that ugly second question came back to spend six million dollars over five years to much said the executive vice chancellor and maybe she's right so a new committee was named to decide how to divide up a much smaller pile more like six hundred thousand dollars or we have here according to one of the major players is a bigger better committee and therefore progress i hope so but i doubt it the university's commitment over the next three years of pierce all of

the overmatched where we need mel gibson it looks like we're getting pee wee herman the price tag getting and a telecommunications is genuinely huge cost to the university of not getting into his unthinkably i are state already conversely over dependent on super hot and cold industries and we've seen again and again what their computer state revenues the key to digging out of that hole his education it's spearheaded by an excellent and aggressive higher education system aggressive these days increasingly means continuing education in service training distance education and cooperation with other institutions to deliver otherwise unavailable classes and programs in other words and some genuine books and lay fiber optic cable or fire up satellite uplink only that satellite uplink is in manhattan there's been talk of the state regents level of telecommunication links between all of the major campus is the talk is about as far as it goes so far there's no real coordinated

effort and surprise there's no money one program that deals with tape implication of course is has seen its budget cut in half that's the way we're headed straight to say the decay you in spite of modest state support for education is concerned we deliver that's good in the future the university will have to be able to say we deliver anywhere on a beautiful may day made expressly for baseball i sat in the grandstand seat at rosenblatt stadium and wondered if life could be any better than this rosenblatt stadium as you may know is a law a few hours north of iran i twenty nine also known as the blue collar way you're wondering when i could've easily driven or oil stadium and saved hours behind the wheel no it wasn't because the royals have plummeted from potential to politicians it was more an inheritor urge to it as baseball beneath the facade sometimes you can help a royal

state is just too spotless to symmetrical to well perfect professional baseball wasn't necessarily meant for plastic pleasure palaces places like rosenblatt stadium or the royals aaa farm club remind us of that what a pleasure to watch baseball where the scoreboard isn't as overwhelming as the queen mary and doesn't blind you with more lights than the las vegas strip furthermore if i see the dog or use one more time i think girls screaming rosenblatt boasts a small functional scoreboard that on this sunny and mild day i'd estimate was about sixty five percent operative the remainder was in her blank award botched beyond all recognition the message board never did work no doubt cutting seriously and what's needed advertising revenue and the ball count was forever a mystery and slice frozen in a pattern that looked russian or science trip for preschool you know i always it is the

parker oil stadium i'm sure you pay four bucks and zip right in you don't remember look at this section designate are above the nearest label you may have difficulty locating her car after the game otherwise no problem at rosenblatt it costs nothing to park and you're never in danger of wandering forever in search give your car on this wondrous day with nearly eight thousand five hundred fans on hand and with the adjacent still attracting thousands more rosenblatt shifted into its overflow parking mood thus we left our current a precipitous forty five degree angle on the steep grassy block behind the center field sprints what more could've imperfection is best for when you all players take the field it's immediately apparent these rules are wearing uniforms exactly like the big league club except their names did not appear above the numbers on the back through a whole lot you cannot tell the

players without a program two of the royals hottest prospects are analog first baseman bob have one supposedly george brett successor and outfielder harvey poet on the organization's player of the year in eighty nine peter hammill and your poem is having a lek with their flaws with a step to anoint them with the humanity that's as unforgettable as the minor league genre itself still rosenblatts most glaring imperfection is its location to battle is in st joseph river or i'd be there once a week because every time we do it and becoming quite evident joy stinson is the volunteer coordinator of the

indian heritage group it meets the third saturday of each month and is available to anyone wishing to trace their native american ancestry ensign calls it a nucleus of knowledge and an informal classroom environment oh my god i'm told that it had a little bit of that in there too and that didn't even make the community hall where i'll tell what's going on around them and what's going on around them is the development of a new understanding about american indians their heritage and their role in the us role in k problem as an instructor at how school and in junior college in lawrence who teaches a course on contemporary issues of american indians he says most people don't realize what kind of an impact american indians or tribes had on the evolution of the history of the us i've been trampled few people realize that can inform our mention

anyone can conclude an integral part of the competition the federal government the liberal interpretation of law in the country include comment on american indian and their impact i think the government intervened on an iphone and widow of the appreciation of what the american improbable meant can only evolution of the country but it's not just other people's attitudes about native americans that need to change hanson whose great grandmother was a full blooded charity says she knows of a time when the american indians were afraid to admit to their own image a hundred years ago and all the end than one might want a more than being a

black person they liked the story that has been handed down within my own family my grandfather refused to go to oklahoma to be a long haul because he didn't want anybody nobody any intimidating and it isn't the kind of exploring that have left and jay cutler says he thinks attitudes are changing the ethnic groups in general are beginning to develop a new sense of pride but he says it appears native americans are doing so more out of necessity than for the simple interest of tracing family lineage oh really as a person of american indian ancestry back then if possible that they can apply and gain membership finally arrived and they do that

be a provision to gain access to programs intended specifically for american and in very rich and i cried they can identify in that regard henson says this is one of the reasons the ancestry study group has become so popular for example she says business men and women can use the group to find our ancestry to prove they are of the minority the federal government gives extra consideration to minorities or business contracts and jobs and hinson says native americans are the only people that have to prove they're members of a minority for that consideration and rob holcomb folks if you've been listening to me you know about this year kansas dancer society our support group for dim wits and dollar to have brain drain from livin in kansas ever since our protest against arab

shrine temple in topeka over the salman rushdie death threat we've been thinkin international last week in fact the hair small went to a junction or interior kansas and lots of back issues of national geographic and he didn't want to look at the pictures he read more than i have articles before his reign came up with a storm that might just week here in kansas you see the first article was about food how people saw where the termites is a regular part of their diet another group ate and cockroaches still another group meets the dogs and cats they started a second article one that showed sacred cows wandering around loose in the streets as a country because as a stray dog and here are kansas pierre's rainbow old some of the old timers got stirred up to untold the air about the things we eat and during the great depression and the dust bowl when times were hard they have homes and they didn't have food armada well when we were playing out of meat

on our four and no money and i was in but one thing to do old bob on trial for swift to order lyft is taylor flicked flies off his back we slaughtered and one dusty florida a problem came up from the railroad tracks and big deal that night well we said we got to meet but as horsemeat do you mind that man didn't blink frenzy said it flies and grasshoppers hard time to do that to you we sat down or barb says the great anonymous that were different than if we'd been eaten beef steak those stories added to be very small six times not to mention a stray dog wandered into town is a faux and the bigger towns and cities to bring out their unwanted pets your dogs and cats the little kittens and puppies and dropped them here we talk some of the makeshift shelter back of the demolition derby museums and then

take turns but not asleep it with the heirs turn that's when his idea came to head he trotted into the call on their phone was all over the country just like the depression they get there here's we nodded and they're starting folks all over the world and they are we nodded again and we ought to do something about it we nodded again i got a project for dancer he said well it seems like he's not going to just kill strays anymore who's going to slaughter them can freeze them and exploit them all over the world are folks who don't mind a good meal protein is approaching he said quoting national geographic your start small apply for grant from the small business administration and asked est mort of agriculture for those stickers it's a food product from the land of off and look out you go deep no one says dogs and get it the world market they might get into termite finance and cockroaches after all he said we spend money killing them when they could make money exporting them

to a hungry world well the co op just the air to be on the air but he is a comer and you know maybe he's got some here we watched him head toward the demolition derby museum and he first stray dog and to be gay high school students is good at least seven classes automatically failed a class there then assigned to a study hall where they are supposed to stay for the courses they are still enrolled in but often they sit around feeling onboard the great books program comments not only boredom that helps teams build self confidence a volunteer teacher goes to the study hall and invite any students who are interested to the library to read books aloud and discuss them they receive one for the class credit toward graduation if they always come to class and participate by reading aloud in getting thoughtful answers to real life questions about the characters in the books they show themselves and other students that they are competent tim cook a seventeen year old to be his senior bridges abated in the program is

junior year after he had been kicked out of school for like attendance he said the great books program gave him a reason to go to school mosher be home to me che guevara became dollars which for some reason are canceling school with us with this or like someone for two tim sad because his teachers to subtle and was a volunteer team realize someone cared about whether he graduated sergio and usually supervises forty engineers at southwestern bell but on tuesday and thursday during his lunch break he teaches the great books program another person that helped him through school was his mother who made him do his homework he said both his mother and father wanted him to graduate from high school and he will sunday tim said they felt so strongly about it that they would have kicked him out of the house had he not been graduating another boy interview does not appear to be on the road to graduation

in order to protect his identity i will call him sean sean is sixteen years old he also participated in the great books program when i talked to him about a month ago sean like tim said the program made you want to go to class at that time shawn was enrolled in six glasses which was more than he had ever taken a one time in his high school career the day i talked with him he seemed to be willing to do what it took to graduate so like and then sharon told me what he had to do to keep from skipping school and to live but since that time shawn has dropped

out he didn't want to talk about it except to say that he just quit going to school he said he couldn't concentrate on his studies because he always had family problems on its mind jones' grandmother who he knows we have also declined comment on my account or how she felt about it did paterson associate principal of topeka high school said bright students like sean usually quit school because of demands from their family such as working to financially support a family or because the student lacks a basic support system they enjoyed an adult than that they don't have a real strong support structures someone supporting and to come through as things that are better so how does the great books program get these young people interested in school again patterson says it's the correlation between reading and failure in school and what happens in that group that they're there probably are en route that there used to

be no way to people interview patterson says without the great poets reading program in eighteen out of the twenty students in the program would not graduate wesley recovery program only twelve morning no longer for many years the program seems to work sixty percent of the time but like anything else at life the students participating in and will graduate only if they want to i'm april haley before you find you're part of a dual purpose if elected as lieutenant governor and also

secretary of the department of commerce and to leave a leadership position and again there had to be a kind of a compelling reason for me to think of the prospect of giving that responsibility which i enjoy very much in which i work very hard to achieve and that what we caution sign that certainly was a major factor in the decision making process there had been speculation jonathan when you were writing a bigger than the dreaded event and bob martin with earlier named carl and campaign manager commonwealth a state treasurer john kennedy and he became an actor fred phelps in the august primary election and jim wagner us the gop gubernatorial nomination

wyden have been very vocal in satisfaction with the property reappraisal classification issue and gained attention by organizing taxpayer protests here believe that much of his support comes from gradual trend toward innovation i can in for fair taxation and other protest groups he's also said to be popular among the so called rebel faction in the kansas legislature it has been reported that the republican party had its cards right and then challenging incumbent mike hayden why get it expected to make a statewide campaign swing next week to make the official announcement white and will join haven and and over attorney richard pate them on the ballot at the state house on camera right there the economy's in

trouble in a much weaker position speaking to a crowded room of kansas social workers how it's one of kansas city's said ritualistic abuse refers to the repeated physical sexual mental and spiritual abuse of children combined with a systematic use of symbols and ceremonies salon explains several case examples of children and satanic cold environs and at the same time it was actually pretty nice i swore and said most people never fully recover from the trauma of such abuse she also said the cases are difficult to prove

and prosecute because of the typically bizarre content of each case salon has for his experience in dealing with ritualistic of these annoying about ten cases a year i'm not in a letter to the senate had left to the legislature for overspending and further action to prevent any management flexibility for stage india and providing services to the fifth and the candidate hedonistic eighty one the legislative leaders time and time again that there are patterns and overspending would create difficulties for the fiscal year nineteen ninety one budget and that he vetoed forty five million dollars in spending it hoped the legislature would reconsider it happened again i think that by cutting thirty four percent from the region and potentially mated budget or forced the continued deterioration in june with only elegant turning creature appeared caught in future years in an earlier interview house minority leader martin barton predicted

hayden would try and shift the blame to the legislative branch get heated hayden was not an effective leader in this fashion will be forced to run a campaign against the legislature an election year and he ended the letter saying you can't have a right to expect more from their legislators after more than one hundred days of deliberation at the state house on camera right there that sums up the opinion of the outgoing sri secretary winston martin barton says the governor the legislature were very good to us or as approving a general funding increase of almost ten percent bartlett has been sri secretary nearly three years though he recently announced his resignation returned to social service work in oklahoma his replacement is dentist taylor

so this wasn't in some people's minds wrong i'll probably be focusing as much as anything on what we are accomplishing what we do have less perhaps those things that we are not accomplishing what we haven't done both attended a news conference during the kansas conference on social welfare and away this week at the lawrence ho until my mom creepy when they can go to the creation of public employee issued a statement last friday a creative director trial dothan that they did so in reaction to a press report and typically capital journal which quoted sources within the state board of regents at fame are the five employees would not get the recommended increase the salary increase that was recommended by the legislature and the governor dotson said they immediately contacted

their attorney and he shooed the press releases in the clear message to their members that they were protecting power is however a region that beckett directors and public that information with incorrect but never at any time a classified employee's salary in danger in fact when the board decided to turn over the budget cutting authority the individual institutions both groups were very aware of certain areas of the budget were protected classified power is on one such area public that the entire situation into a fortunate because the misunderstanding caused a lot of unnecessary confirmed at the statehouse i'm cadillac there the university of kansas medical center did not escape the one and three quarter percent across the board budget cuts implemented by the legislature during the final hours of the nineteen nineties now vice chancellor doctor it became a quiet and then they'll be forced to rely more heavily on other revenue generating area
