Ed Myers, a 70-year-old Newton man who believes the election was stolen, is upset he is the only person to show up for demonstration at Statehouse: "Where is everybody?" he asked as passersby honked #ksleg
He brought some signs #ksleg
Myers: "In two years, people are going to be sick of of Biden and Harris, and all the socialists in Washington. They're going to be sick of them, and want to get rid of them, and MAGA will be back. We'll be back." #ksleg
Loneliest of Trump, Biden protesters mark presidential transfer of power #ksleg w/ @TimVCarpenter and @NoahTaborda kansasreflector.com/2021/01/20/kan…
@TimVCarpenter @NoahTaborda “I was thinking I’d come out here and there’d be a bunch of people. I’m the only guy here. Where is everybody? Fine with me. I don’t care. I just enjoyed my constitutional rights.” #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2021/01/20/kan…

The Department for Children and Families secretly withheld millions in payments to private operators of the state foster care system, propelling them toward financial ruin and directly contributing to the suffering of kids in state custody #ksleg cjonline.com/news/20200516/…
Through documents and interviews over the past six months, I learned the state delayed more than $21M in payments to Saint Francis Ministries and KVC Kansas and never paid for at least $1.8 million in services from FY 2017 #ksleg cjonline.com/news/20200516/…
The private contractors couldn't say anything at the time, or now, because they were bound by state-imposed nondisclosure agreements. The indication is that the actual losses were much worse than DCF acknowledges #ksleg cjonline.com/news/20200516/…

Secretary of State Scott Schwab doesn't like the ACLU's "odd insistence of filing costly litigation." The lead plaintiff in a lawsuit over the Crosscheck data breach doesn't like Schwab's "tone deaf" response to ending the litigation #ksleg cjonline.com/news/20191213/…
Schwab: “Our office expects future disagreements to be resolved responsibly, through communication and collaboration, not courtroom confrontations motivated by financial gain at taxpayer expense.” #ksleg cjonline.com/news/20191213/…
Scott Moore: “I would have been happy to come to an agreement outside of the courts, but that was never going to happen while Kris Kobach was in office." #ksleg cjonline.com/news/20191213/…

U.S. Rep. Steve Watkins faces allegations of voter fraud and perjury after listing UPS store in Topeka as home residence on voter registration. He actually lives in Overbrook but cast ballot in last month's Topeka elections #ksleg #ks02 via @TimVCarpenter cjonline.com/news/20191203/…
Jim Joice, Watkins’ chief of staff, said the representative mistakenly portrayed his residence to be the UPS building: “He just filed it incorrectly. I think that’s a little ludicrous.” #ksleg #ks02 cjonline.com/news/20191203/…
State Rep. Blake Carpenter, a conservative Republican on the House Elections Committee: “This person undoubtedly voted in an election in November for candidates that he had no constitutional right to vote for ..." #ksleg #ks02 cjonline.com/news/20191203/…
