Willard Backs Morris Boondoggle
According to the Hutchison Daily News, state school board member Ken Willard, R-Hutchinson, supports a board policy that allows fellow member Connie Morris to take an eight-day trip to Washington, D.C., just as she is about to leave office in December.
"I don't think it needs to be changed," Willard said Wednesday. "I think the policy is sound."
"She was elected for four years. We wouldn't question any other board member. I don't know why we'd give her any different treatment. We don't have any reason to not trust her."
"It would seem the policy needs to be adjusted," says Jack Wempe, Willard's opponent in the upcoming general election.
Maybe another good reason to show Willard the door come November.
