Thousands Of Kansas Ballots Uncounted In General Election

By
Derek Nester
-

Kansas election officials threw out thousands of ballots cast in November, mostly because the state had no record those residents were registered voters.

Some local officials are now voicing concerns about numerous documented instances of lost voter registrations from people who had filled out applications on the state’s online site and at motor vehicle offices. Those names never showed up on any poll books despite the fact these voters had date-stamped, computer screenshot confirmations.

The secretary of state’s office says there was a technical problem with the motor vehicle department computer system that handles online registrations that was corrected days after being discovered.

Numbers obtained from county election offices and the League of Women Voters for 11 largest counties show that 8,864 ballots cast were not counted. The reasons vary.

 

Some KS Legislators Look To Repeal Concealed Carry On Campus

By
Derek Nester
-

A few Kansas lawmakers are seeking to undo a law that will allow concealed guns in public hospitals and colleges.

The proposal would permanently exempt several types of health care facilities and colleges from a law that allows guns in public buildings. That exemption will otherwise expire July 1.

Supporters of allowing campuses to ban concealed guns are hopeful because the Legislature is more moderate than it was when the law passed in 2013. The National Rifle Association says it won’t support the bill. The NRA says carrying a concealed gun is a right and allows people to protect themselves.

Overland Park Republican Rep. Stephanie Clayton and Wichita Democratic Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau plan to introduce bills written by Sen. Barbara Bollier, a Mission Hills Republican.

 

The Replay Lounge Replays This Weekend

By
Derek Nester
-

Members of the Marshall County Arts Cooperative were able to present one performance of their musical revue fundraiser, “The Replay Lounge,” before inclement weather arrived. Saturday’s show went as planned; Sunday’s show was postponed.

“We made the call Friday morning,” said Brad Ekiss, president of the arts cooperative. “We thought it was important to let the public know what we were going to do so people could plan accordingly. It was also important to make sure the performers knew what was going on and could plan, too.”

Saturday’s show played to a near capacity crowd. Because of bad weather, Sunday’s performance was postponed. The two-act revue will play this weekend Saturday, January 21, at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, January 22, at 2:00 p.m. at the American Legion Post 163, Marysville. For those who purchased tickets for either January 14 or 15, those tickets will be honored at either of the upcoming performances.

Tickets will be available all week for the rescheduled performance. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Tickets may be purchased at the Chamber of Commerce office, Marysville, or Crome’s Market, Hanover.

Barb Kickhaefer was one of the approximately 225 people who attended Saturday’s show.

“Once again the Marshall County Arts Cooperative did not disappoint with their yearly fundraiser,” she said. “The addition of new performers is always exciting.”

Kickhaefer enjoyed the performance by Brian Fragel, Marysville. He is a new member to the musical ensemble; he performs with veterans Pat Breeding, Brian Cook, Mandy Cook, Wayne Kruse, Rachel Massoth, and Julie Popejoy.

“What a thrill when you discover your neighbor is not only a wonderful person, but can belt out a great tune as well,” Kickhaefer added.

Fragel received thunderous applause after his rendition of “Ring of Fire,” a song Johnny Cash made famous in 1963.

“The bad weather really just works in the audience’s favor,” Kickhaefer said. “We now have three opportunities to see the show instead of two.”

Several special guests make appearances throughout the show. “We showcase a lot of our community’s talent in this show,” Ekiss said.

The funds raised help the arts cooperative bring professional artists to the county. Don Most and m-pact were two of the recent artists the group brought to work with students and provide performances for the public.

Kickhaefer said the two hours of great music was a bonus, but she noted that it is important to support the arts cooperative.

“It is a rare opportunity that our small town affords to students to have successful artists help educate them on stage
performance, sound, vocal music, and instrumental music so they can become more confident and successful performers. I hope everyone keeps that goal in mind when making their donations.”

Concannon Continues To Lead Effort For Medicaid Expansion

By

By Jim Mclean – Salina Post

It very well might be too late, but some Kansas lawmakers are moving ahead on a plan to expand KanCare, the state’s privatized Medicaid program.

The House Health and Human Services Committee voted Thursday to introduce an expansion bill at the request of Rep. Susan Concannon, a Beloit Republican.

“I just want to talk about it,” said Concannon, whose support of expansion prompted former House Speaker Ray Merrick to remove her from the health committee just before the 2016 session.

Back on the committee as vice chairwoman — courtesy of new Speaker Ron Ryckman, an Olathe Republican — Concannon believes Merrick’s retirement and the ouster of several conservative lawmakers by moderate Republicans and Democrats give expansion supporters the votes they need.

“I believe we can get it on the governor’s desk,” she said. “I believe we can pass it out of the House and Senate. Then, it will be up to him (Gov. Sam Brownback) from there on.”

Concannon’s bill, largely crafted by the Kansas Hospital Association, would expand KanCare coverage to between 100,000 and 150,000 low-income Kansans, mostly adults who make less than $16,243 a year.

At the moment, the Affordable Care Act requires the federal government to pay 95 percent of expansion costs. By 2020 that will gradually decline to 90 percent, where it will remain as long as current rules are in effect.

“It would all go away if the percentages drop below that,” Concannon said, referring to a provision in the bill authorizing the state to terminate expansion if and when Congress repeals or modifies the ACA.

Dedicated funds from a drug rebate program and an assessment on Kansas hospitals would cover the state’s share of the cost under the bill, which also establishes a working group to identify additional sources of state funding if necessary.

Brownback renewed his opposition to expansion earlier this week in his State of the State address, saying it would be reckless to move forward in the face of plans by President-elect Donald Trump and Republican congressional leaders to repeal the ACA.

“It would be foolish to endorse the Obamacare expansion of Medicaid — akin to airlifting onto the Titanic,” Brownback said. “Kansas should stay the course.”

Concannon disagrees. She and other expansion supporters say it would be foolish to miss what could be the state’s last opportunity to provide health coverage to low-income Kansans and claim billions in additional federal dollars.

“The Kansas Hospital Association’s website has a running calculation of the federal dollars that we’ve missed by not expanding,” she said. “It’s at $1.6 billion and adding up as we speak.”

Kansas isn’t the only state racing the clock on expansion. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper has notified federal officials of his intention to pursue expansion despite a 2013 law that prevents him from doing so without legislative approval.

To date, 31 states and the District of Columbia have expanded Medicaid. Kansas and North Carolina are among 19 that haven’t.

Rep. Dan Hawkins, the Wichita Republican who chairs the health committee, said hearings on the expansion bill likely will be scheduled for early February.
