Saving Taxpayer Money
An opinion piece in the Topeka Capitol-Journal reports:
"Kansas lawmakers have spent thousands of hours debating how to fund education, a travesty considering other important issues that need to be addressed -- health care, for example. Now comes the news that the exercise has not only been time-consuming, but also expensive. The battle in the courts over whether the Legislature has provided enough money for education, and whether the money was distributed fairly among the 300 unified school districts, has been going on for six years. The running tab for all these legal battles is approaching $3 million."
