Political News from America's Heartland - Friday, May 17, 2024 - KS Gov Laura Kelly signs $75 MM boost to special ed fundingMissouri Senate Democrats 50 Hour Filibuster | New “youth core” program focuses on mental health | Minnesota Gov. announces boost for child care fundingKS Gov Laura Kelly signs $75 MM boost to special ed fundinghttps://kansasreflector.com/2024/05/16/kansas-governor-signs-school-funding-bill-with-75-million-boost-for-special-education/BY: SHERMAN SMITH - MAY 16, 2024 11:38 AMTOPEKA — Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly signed legislation this week that allocates $6.6 billion to K-12 public schools, including $75 million in new money for special education, and vetoed language designed to funnel safety grant cash to a specific software company.The Democratic governor and Republican legislators separately claimed credit for continuing to fully fund schools, as required by the state's constitution and mandated by the Kansas Supreme Court. House Bill 387 passed the House 115-2 and the Senate 35-2 on April 26, shortly before the Legislature adjourned for the year.The legislation includes $4.9 billion in state spending for the public school system.Gov Kelly's message to lawmakers in signing the bill referenced the state's historical failures to provide adequate and equitable resources to public schools.In 2018, when Kelly was still a state senator, the Legislature adopted a five-year plan to fully fund schools by the 2022-23 school year. As governor, she worked with lawmakers in 2019 to correct a math problem and add an ongoing inflation adjustment to win approval from the Kansas Supreme Court. The court retained oversight of the case to ensure the Legislature didn't pull the rug out from under schools as it had repeatedly in the past, then let go of the case earlier this year.Gov. Kelly said, “When I became governor, my first order of business was to end the cycle of school finance litigation caused by years of underfunding. Reckless leadership and mismanagement of the state's finances made it impossible for the state to adequately fund our schools. Since then, we've seen how investment in our education system pays significant dividends for our entire state. Students now have more opportunities than ever to explore their educational and professional interests. Our commitment to fully funding public education better supports teachers, paraprofessionals, and administrators.”Lawmakers agreed to address a longstanding shortfall in special education funding by adding $75 million to the budget. But they stopped short of meeting recommendations from a special task force, which said lawmakers should add $82.7 million annually for four years to comply with a law requiring the state to cover 92% of extra costs for serving students in special education.“This funding will provide critical support to districts that have been shouldering the burden of the state's decade-long failure to meet its statutory obligation and ultimately its promise to the next generation of Kansans,” Kelly said.At one point this year, the Legislature considered rewriting state law to permanently underfund special education.Kelly said the new money would allow districts to “properly invest in special education educators” rather than redirect funding that otherwise would be used on teacher salaries and other instruction programs.“While this funding is a critical first step, it is just a first step. We must continue to increase special education funding in future years.”Sen. Molly Baumgardner, a Louisburg Republican who chairs the Senate Education Committee, said lawmakers this year focused on crafting a bill that better addresses the needs of students, teachers, and staff members.She said, “Our commitment to distributing increased special education funding in a more equitable way to Kansas school districts was accomplished by collaborating directly with the Department of Education leadership team. This is an important change for children that receive these special services.”The governor vetoed language that would have required schools to use the $5 million available through the School Safety and Security Grant program on firearm detection software made by ZeroEyes. The company hired lobbyists in multiple states to try to corner the market on security contracts by inserting restrictions in legislation to undermine the ability of rival vendors to bid.Kelly said the restrictions amounted to a no-bid contract and would restrict schools from using the money on other types of safety needs. She has the authority to use a line-item veto on the policy because it was embedded in a budget bill.Schools should be able to invest in other school safety efforts, Kelly said, such as updating communications systems, hiring more security staff, investing in physical infrastructure, and buying automated external defibrillators.“We must continue to work together to ensure our students have a safe, conducive environment for their learning. To do that, we should not hamstring districts by limiting this funding opportunity to services provided by one company. Missouri Senate Democrats 50-Hour Filibusterhttps://missouriindependent.com/2024/05/15/50-hour-filibuster-forces-more-negotiations-on-gop-backed-initiative-petition-changes/ 50-hour filibuster forces more negotiations on GOP-backed initiative petition changes BY: ANNA SPOERRE, RUDI KELLER AND JASON HANCOCK - MAY 15, 2024 6:48 PM A 50-hour Democratic filibuster forced the Senate's divided GOP majority to finally yield Wednesday evening, stalling a vote on a bill seeking to make it more difficult to amend Missouri's constitution. Democrats have blocked all action in the Senate since Monday afternoon, demanding that the legislation be stripped of “ballot candy” that would bar non-citizens from voting and ban foreign entities from contributing to or sponsoring constitutional amendments, both of which are already illegal.  The Senate passed the bill without ballot candy in February. The House added it back last month.Senate Minority Leader John Rizzo, an Independence Democrat, on Tuesday said the situation presented an existential crisis for the Senate, as Republicans openly considered a rarely-used maneuver to kill the filibuster and force a vote on the bill.  “Are the bullies going to win?” Rizzo asked. “Or is the rest of the Senate finally going to stand up for itself and say ‘no more.'”  He got an answer just before 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, when state Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, an Arnold Republican and the bill's sponsor, surprised many of her colleagues by asking that the Senate send the bill back to the House for more negotiations on whether to include “ballot candy.”  Republicans simply didn't have the votes to kill the filibuster, she said, and Democrats showed no signs of relenting before session ends at 6 p.m. Friday.  The sudden change in tactics was not well taken by members of the Freedom Caucus, who argued sending the bill back to the House with only two days left before adjournment puts its chances at risk.  Tim Jones, a former Missouri House speaker and current director of the state's Freedom Caucus, wrote on social media Thursday evening that Coleman “effectively killed her bill today.”If the bill passes, Missourians would have the opportunity to vote later this year on whether or not to require constitutional amendments be approved by both a majority of votes statewide and a majority of votes in five of the state's eight congressional districts.  Right now, amendments pass with a simple majority.A possible vote on abortion in November is a catalyst behind the battle over the bill, as a campaign to legalize abortion up to the point of fetal viability is on the path to the statewide ballot.  Republicans have said that without raising the threshold for changing the state's constitution, a constitutional right to abortion will likely become the law of the land in Missouri.  State Sen. Rick Brattin, a Harrisonville Republican and a member of the Freedom Caucus, tipped his hat to the Democrats' “wherewithal” before scorning some of his Republican colleagues.  “Unfortunately, this Republican Party has no backbone to fight for what is right for life,” he shouted from the Senate floor. “ … They will have the blood of the innocent on their heads. Shame on this party.”Coleman's move also came as a surprise to state Rep. Alex Riley, a Republican from Springfield who sponsored the initiative petition bill in the House.  “We're going to have to have some conversations tonight to figure out what exactly it is they have in mind,” he said.New “youth core” program focuses on mental healthhttps://www.axios.com/2024/05/15/youth-mental-health-corpsNew program creates "youth corps" for mental healthHundreds of young adults will be trained to help their peers access mental health care and other supports in a first-of-its-kind service program aimed at addressing the youth mental health crisis.Backers of the new Youth Mental Health Corps, which is funded by a mix of private and public dollars, also hope to create a new talent pipeline to address shortages of mental health workers.How it works: Young adults ages 18 and up will spend about a year working at a school or nonprofit to help connect other young people to mental health support.Corps members will conduct check-ins with students, run trainings for caregivers, conduct community outreach and more.They'll receive training, a stipend, earn state-specific mental health worker credentials, and credit toward higher education degrees in behavioral health. Participants will receive training in therapeutic communication, crisis intervention, behavioral health systems and other skills. They'll receive a minimum of $20 per hour.Administrators expect hundreds of young people to join the program in its first year, and thousands to benefit from it.Colorado Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera, whose state will be one of the first to implement the program this fall said, "Kids can relate more to experiences and challenges faced by other teenagers. It fosters trust and comfort in seeking mental health support."In addition to Colorado, programs will start this fall in Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey and Texas. Programs in California, Iowa, Maryland, New York, Utah and Virginia are slated to start next year.The Schultz Family Foundation, created by Starbucks founder Howard Schultz and Sheri Kersch Schultz, and Pinterest, expect to invest $10 million in the program over three years.Other funding will come from public sources, including state and national AmeriCorps grants.Schultz said it expects additional philanthropic and private sector donations in the futureMinnesota Gov. Tim Walz announces $6MM boost in child care fundinghttps://minnesotareformer.com/2024/05/15/governor-announces-6-million-in-grants-to-create-more-than-2200-new-child-care-slots/MN Governor Tim Walz announces $6 million in grants to create more than 2,200 new childcare slotsBY: MADISON MCVAN - MAY 15, 2024 6:02 PMTwenty-one Minnesota organizations will receive funding to open or expand childcare centers this year, Gov. Tim Walz announced Wednesday, with more than half of the grants going to providers outside the Twin Cities.  Lawmakers boosted funding for the Department of Employment and Economic Development's child care grant program last year.  Gov Walz said Wednesday that child care is an example of a “market failure” during a visit to the St. David's Center for Child & Family Development in Minnetonka, which received a $270,000 grant to create more classrooms and educational spaces.  Nationwide, the childcare industry is in crisis. Minnesota is no exception, facing a shortage of childcare providers and high costs for families. Minnesota has some of the highest childcare costs in the country, which could be one explanation for a lower birth rate in recent years.The Legislature last year voted to continue a COVID-era program that raised the pay for childcare workers, averting a funding cliff.A coalition of childcare advocates this session pushed for a subsidy program that would reduce the cost of child care for families making less than 150% of the median income. If fully funded at around $500 million per year, families with low income would have their childcare bills covered by the state, while qualifying families making more than the median income would pay around 7% of their household income on child care, a target set by the federal government. Advocates are hoping to move that bill successfully, next year. @TheHeartlandPOD on Twitter and ThreadsCo-HostsAdam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85 (Twitter) @adam_sommer85 (Threads)Rachel Parker @msraitchetp (Threads) Sean Diller (no social)The Heartland Collective - Sign Up Today!JOIN PATREON FOR MORE - AND JOIN OUR SOCIAL NETWORK!“Change The Conversation”Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium http://www.americanaquarium.com/

Hour 3 - Gov. Kelly says the cuts will hamstring the state's budget, and is calling the special session to deliver much needed tax relief while making sure it won't hurt the state's bottom line.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Despite a veto-proof majority, Kansas legislators fail to override the Governor's veto on a bill banning gender surgeries for minors. Two Republicans, Susan Concannon and Jesse Borjon, side with the veto, prioritizing medical and parental discretion over governmental intervention. Their decisions spark significant debate among residents and highlight ongoing cultural and political tensions.

Hour 1 - It is the second vetoed plan submitted by the Republican legislature with an elimination of the highest tax bracket.  Local and national news headlines on Steve and Ted in the Morning plus a visit from Moneytracker Don Grant.

Hour 3 - Governor vetoes the bill, Sedgwick County Sheriff still has hope for the measure.  Local and national news headlines on Steve and Ted.

The “Dissenters” describe themselves as an “anti-militarism youth movement turning the tide against endless war in our communities here and abroad.”   Respect for Human Life FACE Act  This is from TJ - Thomas Jefferson This is the preamble to the Nullification of the Alien and Sedition Acts -  In 1798, the United States stood on the brink of war with France. The Federalist Party, which advocated for a strong central government, believed that Democratic-Republican criticism of Federalist policies was disloyal and feared that "aliens," or non-citizens, living in the United States would sympathize with the French during a war. Sedition Act trials, along with the Senate's use of its contempt powers to suppress dissent, set off a firestorm of criticism against the Federalists and contributed to their defeat in the election of 1800, after which the acts were repealed or allowed to expire.

Congress in a panic they started treating Cajuns like Nazi's during WWII. As a matter of fact the sedition part would have applied to Jefferson who was the VP at the time. He could have been killed! Might makes right. Clearly states what an alien friend and enemy are. Let's take a look at Abraham Lincoln and what he did.

Kansas Governor Vetoes Bill Eliminating 3-Day Grace Period for Mail-Delayed Ballots ***Today's Links now moved to the end of the script!*** Today's Script:  (Variations occur with audio due to editing for time) You're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.April 19th, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a bill eliminating a three-day grace period for mail-in ballots.  The bill pitted the common sense of election officials against voter fraud conspiracy theories.   Common sense won.The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that in 2017 the Republican majority in the Kansas legislature enacted a post election day three-day grace period to allow mail-delayed ballots to arrive.  In sparsely-populated western Kansas, mail in some areas travels to New Mexico or Colorado to be processed.Because of that distance, plus changes within the U.S. Postal Service making delivery times less reliable, the Kansas Secretary of State continues to support it.    One supporter of eliminating the grace period said that the veto would continue to, QUOTE, “allow potentially illegal ballots to be counted.”  The ACLU of Kansas testified that 32,367 ballots were received during the grace period in the 2020 election - the equivalent to a sizable town's worth of Kansas voters.  The Kansas Secretary of State didn't report ANY evidence of widespread fraud.Governor Kelly wrote in her veto that SB 209 would likely result in the disenfranchisement of rural Kansas. Quote “We should be doing everything we can to make it easier – not harder – for Kansans to make their voices heard at the ballot box.”We have links to articles and groups taking action  at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org.

   With no video, no motive and no real information on why an illegal alien, drug addicted, BLM, Pride Flag waving lunatic broke into Pelosi's house in a sanctuary city... it couldn't get stranger, right?  Wrong.  Now David DePape's own defense attorney seems to be on the side of the Pelosi's.  You have to hear what this lawyer said to media and the signal it sent.    You can't get lower than zero but the Star has hit that mark again, this time against Mark Alford.  The former tv anchor is about to win the Missouri 4th congressional seat with ease so the Star decides to write a hit piece on how difficult it was for "former employees" at Fox 4 to work with the anchor.  This story reads like it should be in the Babylon Bee.    The Cook Political report has moved ten more races to the right but Kansas District 3 and the Kansas Governor's race are not among them.    In sports, everyone knows the Houston Astros cheated to win the World Series a few year ago.  Now, it's Philadelphia, within the rules, that noticed Houston's game three starter tipping his pitches.  So funny.  Five homers later the Phils had a 7-0 win.   And Kansas State has a HUGE game against Texas Saturday night in Manhattan and coach Chris Klieman is staying mum on which quarterback he's using. Normally, two quarterbacks is a sign you aren't good enough.  In this case, Klieman could use them like chess pieces to win the Big 12.

Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by Jordan Martincich, PF & QF's director of development, for a conversation with Jim Millensifer, a long-time PF & QF volunteer and donor who is also president of the Kansas Governor's Ringneck Classic. The guys chat about the organization's 9-million-acre Call of the Uplands campaign and how the Kansas Ringneck Classic has contributed acres, access, and dollars to the campaign. Long-time hunting buddies, Martincich and Millensifer also debate the prowess between pretty dogs (Setters) and ugly dogs (wirehairs). Episode Highlights: • Martincich and Millensifer explain the origins of the Kansas Ringneck Classic, how it's become a cherished event for the community of Colby, Kansas, and how it's become a critical fundraiser for PF & QF's habitat mission. • Millensifer also talks about his passion for hunting upland birds from his native Colorado to his current home in western Kansas, and to destinations as far south as Arizona up to the northern ruffed grouse woods of Minnesota. In the process, he explains what scares him to death about the future of the uplands.

Dr. Marci Nielsen, Vice President for Policy and Advocacy at Resolve to Save Lives, joins J. Stephen Morrison for episode 144. For an 18 month period beginning in the fall of 2020, Dr. Nielsen served as Chief Advisor for COVID-19 Coordination for Kansas Governor, Laura Kelly, where she led outreach efforts across the state to advance dialogue, access to data, and transparency. Regular public fora on schools – when to close or open, promotion of tests, vaccinations, masks – were a key tool to counter rising political tensions and disinformation. Over her career, the public health sector has “never been political” to this extent, fostering a significant “lack of understanding.” “Great hope” lies in strengthening communications, the determined commitment of public health and elected officials, and youth.

Real Talk Real Solutions with Special Expert Guest Tara James-Wallace. Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker in private practice providing community-based behavioral and mental health services. She is nationally certified as a Trauma Focused - Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. We're discussing our education system and the way we educate, discipline and relate to black children. We uncover the adultification of black girls and how to reshape and reframe the mind after trauma. Tara implemented the Community Outreach Program for Family Service and Guidance Center's Outreach & Integrated Care Program in Topeka, KS. This program allowed Tara to work directly with families to identify and overcome systemic challenges contributing to their struggle for mental and emotional stability. Collaboration with multiple community partners led to Tara becoming President of the Kansas African American Foster Care/Adoption Coalition. This volunteer organization works to engage community-based resources to support children and families involved with the child welfare system. A major accomplishment for KAAFCAC under Tara's tenure was a state-wide conference to educate birth families, foster/adoptive families and child welfare workers about the issues contributing to the overrepresentation of African American children in the child welfare system. Tara's fierce and passionate advocacy work has led to volunteer opportunities serving on the boards of multiple agencies and organizations whose missions involve improving the lives of children and families. She was appointed to the Kansas Governor's Child Welfare System Task Force and provided testimony to the legislature related to child welfare reform. As a result of this work she was appointed to the Social and Economic Justice & Peace Section of the National Association of Social Workers.

Not many envied the positions U.S. governors were put in as the Covid-19 pandemic grew more serious. Gov. Kelly says she relied heavily on advice and input from the Kansas business community.

The future of religious freedom around the world weighs heavily on U.S. Ambassador Sam Brownback. Since February of this year the former Kansas Governor, U.S. Senator and congressman has been the Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom.  Thousands of people in the world today are being persecuted for their faith, and much of it is done legally through government anti-blasphemy and anti-conversion laws; case in point, the trial of American Pastor Matthew Brunson. The ambassador talks about the latest on him as well as the upcoming Ministerial on Religious Freedom, which he and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will lead. It's the first of its kind in the world; an international gathering of leaders from around the globe in Washington, D.C. that will promote religious freedom as a path to economic empowerment.
