Dear editor,

At Lincoln Elementary in the 1970s, I distinctly remember teaching art class to my students while all of us stood ankle-deep in water.

It didn’t take much rain for the school to flood back then, and it blows my mind that residents now would prevent our community from doing something about it.

If those who oppose fixing our schools had to stand in ankle-deep water for five minutes, they surely would understand.

Let’s work toward a solution now, instead of waiting for things to get even worse.

Thank you,
Phyllis Bradshaw,

Walnut, Kan.

 

Dear editor,

I would like to once again reach out to the subscribers of the Register and give you my take on Kris Kobach.

My first advice would be to go to his website and read what the man has to say. He’ll tell you not only what he wants to accomplish as governor of Kansas, he’ll also tell you exactly how he’ll do it. This is a rare quality in a politician. It also opens him up for anyone to pick apart every word and put a spin on it. This is why so few political figures will engage in this type of campaign.

I’m not going to give you every position he is running on but I think a couple need mentioning. He is not going to slash school spending. He wants to redirect more of what we spend into the classroom, 75 percent to be exact.

On this next point listen to me very carefully. He has said time and time again, he will not cut a single tax until he cuts spending.

All the media and naysayers want to compare Kris Kobach to Gov. Brownback. There is no comparison. Kris is a true conservative, Brownback was not. He understands that to get taxes down you have to get spending down. This is something that Gov. Brownback and the other legislators did not understand. Kris has a very simple way of cutting expenses. When somebody retires, a whole lot of baby boomers are coming into this category, you take a look at this position and decide if it needs filled. It’s called attrition and it’s that simple.

As to listening to the media about Kris, come on. They are literally attacking the way he dresses. The only thing they can do is try tearing him down by name calling. I’ve heard it all, racist, idiot, law breaker, he should be in jail, and on and on. The media and his opponents can’t argue his common sense ideas so they resort to anything they can to make him look bad. I think the best one the media tries doing is comparing him to our president like that is a bad thing. I don’t know about you all but comparing Kris to President Trump is a good thing.

So once again I ask you to make sure you vote and while you are doing that I highly recommend my friend, Kris Kobach for Governor of this great state of Kansas.
