Past lessons offer Legislature a solution for schools
An interesting look at where the Republican's anti-tax zeal has taken us... and at the sense of bipartisanship that we've lost.

Topeka — With a court breathing down its neck, the Kansas Legislature puts aside politics and forms a school finance bill that wins approval from Republicans and Democrats, and ultimately the judiciary.

Sound like a fantasy?

Essentially, that is what happened 13 years ago in the Statehouse.

“We really had a coalition from both parties, and much of the state, that put together a plan that worked,” said former Senate Majority Leader Fred Kerr, a Republican from Pratt.
