County commissioners to defund SEKMHC
County says payment
cant be justified in view
of high executive salaries
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A lengthy presentation on the history and mission
of the Southeast Kansas Mental
Health Center by its key management didnt seem to persuade
Anderson County Commissioners
to continue to fund the organization during Mondays county
commission meeting.
Battling regional criticism
from county elected officials in
recent months over high salaries
paid to executives in the organization, CEO Nathan Fawson,
chief financial officer Job
Springer and director of crisis
services Bryan Cook submitted
the Anderson County portion of
the SEK budget for 2026, but got
little encouragement from commissioners.
Were probably not going to
contribute this year, commissioner chairman Les McGhee
told the trio at the end of their
near hour-long presentation.
The agency has taken fire
since earlier this year, when The
Kansas Informer reported on a
review of SEK tax filings that
revealed Fawson had been grant-
ed a salary and
benefits package of more
than $625,000 by
the SEK board
of
trustees,
and compensation of several
hundred thousand each had
Fawson
been awarded
to members of
executive management there.
Anderson County SEK board
member Dana Spencer told commissioners last week those salaries had been based on the recommendations of a national business
consultant who studied similar
management positions around
the country. Commissioners in
Anderson County refused to sign
a $32,000 disbursement to SEK
earlier in June related to the
issue.
Commissioners in the region
have been aggravated that their
counties were contributing tax
funds to an organization whose
recently enhanced federal
Medicaid reimbursements were
able to generate a budget that
could afford that level of executive compensation, and have
wondered aloud if their tax funding was really needed.
The six-county service region
for SEKMHC includes Woodson,
Allen, Anderson, Linn, Bourbon
and Neosho, which altogether
contribute nearly $600,000 annually in local tax dollars to support
the agencys mission with offices
in each of their counties. Fawson
told commissioners the organizations operating budget had been
dramatically enhanced several
years ago by the acquisition of a
particular federal authorization
that increased its Medicaid reimbursement for services, growing
SEK from 13 therapists to nearly
60 with 12 staff psychiatrists up
from 3 prior to the change.
Fawson said prior funding

BY DANE HICKS
THE KANSAS INFORMER
TOPEKA A Kansas law that prohibits the use of foreign money in
state constitutional amendment
campaigns took effect July 1, thanks
to a federal court win by Kansas
Attorney General Kris Kobach.
U.S. District Court Judge Daniel
Crabtree blocked a request from
Kansans for Constitutional Freedom
for a preliminary injunction to stop
the state from implementing the
ban on foreign money flowing into
political campaigns. The law will
be a lynchpin of Kansas upcoming
constitutional amendment vote in
August 2026 that aims to change the
current governors appointment of
Kansas Supreme Court Justices to
direct elections in a statewide vote.

OBITUARIES
CASON
WARNER
JULY 28, 1952 JUNE 21, 2025
Clark Gene Cason, age 72
of LaHarpe, Kansas, passed
peacefully in his sleep on
June 21, 2025.
Clark was born in
Iola, Kansas, at St. Johns
Hospital on July 28, 1952,
to Bob and Pauline (Sexton)
Cason.
He graduated from Iola
High School where he was
a track and cross-country
star. After high school,
he earned a certificate in
Automobile Mechanics at
the Beloit Campus of Fort
Hays Technical. Later in
life, he took classes at Allen
Community College and
graduated from Graham
School for Cattlemen where
he learned how to artificially inseminate cows. He was
especially excited about this
new skill and would go into
great detail explaining the
process to friends and family.
Clark was a worker! He
spent his childhood summers in Texas, unwillingly following in the family
business, S.E. Cason & Son
Produce. He started his official employment at 14, working at Kings Sandwich Shop
and was happy to actually
be paid for his labor. Along
with working as a mechanic
in his early adult life, he
also worked in the oilfields.
In 1976, he took a job at
Gates Rubber Company and
worked there for 33 years.
He was proud of his many
trips to Mexico with Gates,
where he helped set up new
production plants there. His
lifelong love of anything
outdoors was his inspiration to open his own gun
and sporting goods shop. He
loved visiting with all the
sportsmen (and women) in
the area when they would
come to his shop to buy or
just to visit. Clark was an
expert visitor. He could
talk to anyone about anything……for hours. He never
knew a stranger!
Over the years, Clark
owned horses, cattle, pigs,

When his wife Donna

for Donna

even celebrating holidays
together with the kids and
grandkids.

Man Rendezvous where
they would get together
with other like-minded folks
to reenact the 19th century American West trading
posts. These events were
lively affairs that included socializing, storytelling
and demonstrating skills
like blacksmithing, leatherworking and flint knapping. He was proficient at
ax throwing and restoring

While Donna was still

she and Clark took in several homesick out of state

Tinas Place, where Clark
could be found bright and
early every morning Tinas

After Donnas passing in
2019, he kept himself busy
with all kinds of hobbies. He
collected coins, guns, fishing poles, and wood working tools. He had recently
turned his gun shop building into a wood working
shop. He enjoyed online
auctions, restoring antique
furniture and was becoming
quite the cook. He taught
himself how to bake bread,
among other things and had
recently mastered sous vide
cooking. He loved genealogy
and had traced his lineage
back hundreds of years. He
was a member of the Iola
Elks Lodge #569.

their political advocacy
and unfairly targets groups
like theirs that opposed the
2022 anti-abortion amendment. They also argued the
law is overly broad, vague,
and lacks clear protections
for those who unknowingly
violate it.
However, Judge Crabtree
sided with the state, ruling
that the law likely survives
constitutional scrutiny. He
found Kansas has a compelling interest in preventing foreign interference in
democratic processes and
concluded the law appears
to be narrowly tailored to
achieve that goal.
The state has the right to
limit foreign influence over
fundamental decisions,
such as amendments to
its constitution, Crabtree
wrote in the ruling. He also
dismissed concerns about
vagueness, overreach, and
intent requirements, noting that existing Kansas
law provides sufficient safeguards.
The decision means
Kansas officials, including
Kobach and the Kansas
Governmental
Ethics
Commission, can move
forward with enforcing the
new restrictions as the 2025
ballot season begins.
Judge Crabtrees opinion is well reasoned and
thorough, Kobach said.
The Kansas Legislature
acted
constitutionally
when it addressed the specific problem of foreign
nationals funneling money
into referendum campaigns
on Kansas constitutional
amendments. KCF has
not yet indicated whether
it will appeal the ruling.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, July 3, 2025
No kings. No pterodactyls, either
When you set about baking a cake, in
the end, you should have a cake.
When you engage a plan for building a
house, in the end, if youre successful, you
should have a house.
So in that regard, the recent massing
of leftist crybabies across the country and
as nearby as Ottawa and Johnson County
were massively successful in their No
Kings protest. Here we are more than a
week later, and not a king in sight.
Jolly good show, as the Brits who built
the Bridge Over The River Kwai would say.
Yep, not a single king in the entire
United States. Unless you figure Budweiser
is still the king of beers, which is debatable if youve ever had a Yuengling, or
that Elvis is still the king of rock n roll.
That one is indisputable.
But as far as the government of the
United States, the MACA (Make America
Crappy Again) crowd which foistered
the No Kings shindig and the celebrated Womans March at the beginning of
Trump I, there is no argument that their
protest to declare America free of kings
has been overwhelmingly successful.
It was this recipe for unmitigated
success that motivated The Anderson
County Review to pursue our own No
Pterodactyls protest last weekend on
the Anderson County Courthouse lawn.
You may have seen the videos on social
media or read about it in the nations
leading newspapers. The throngs of motivated, passionate protesters that we drew
to the event in downtown Garnett were
in the end, indeed just as successful as
our brothers in protest at No Kings. Look
around. Do you see any pterodactyls?
Now, maybe youre reading this and
mocking my claim of victory in a protest
to ban a reptilian flying dinosaur extinct
for some 66 million years. I think thats
very shortsighted of you if thats the case.
Likewise, the noble No Kings protesters are not dissuaded from their empassioned quest by what may be your guffaw
of laughter and snickering assertions that
they actually accomplished absolutely
nothing except wasting a Sunday.
Thats the problem with you Trump
fans, you have this thing about expecting
actual results instead of endless, pointless jabber and crying on cue for a social
media post.
While the No Kings folks celebrated
their banner success, President Trunp
had a pretty good week of his own.
NATO leaders love Trumps approach
to international security after the Iran
bombing so much theyre referring to him
as daddy, (no, Im not kidding) and are
pledging to pony up more of their own
cash for NATO defense; the Iran/Israel
ceasefire is holding and dust from Irans
nuclear weapons program is now being
wiped off tabletops and Crescent Moon
figurines all over the Middle East; the U.S.
stock market ended last week poised to set
a new all-time record; the U.S. inflation
rate is now 2.4% instead of 7% like four
years ago; only about two illegal aliens got
across the southern border (best guess);
his DOJ won the argument over federal
judges usurping his executive orders, and
he still had time to nail down a peace deal
between Rwanda and Republic of Congo.
How about that. From No Kings to the
alleged King himself, success all the way
around. ###

COMMENTARY
MICHAEL RYAN, THE HEARTLANDER
While the district initially allowed parents to opt their children out of its sexual
indoctrination, it decided to stop allowing that because so many parents were
opting out creating what it said was a
burden on the district.
This is where common sense yielded
to dictatorial government thinking: The
district stopped allowing the opt-outs,
rather than considering the possibility
that its sexualization of young children
was actually the problem.
Here we have a fundamental, historic
fork in the road: Do kids belong to parents or governments?

Why did the FBI hide info on Nashville school shooter?
More than two years after facing a
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for playing politics with a trans
killers manifesto, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation has agreed to a settlement.
The agreement is a victory for transparency and open government, but its
personal for this reporter.
Did Not Want the Public to Know
I was a plaintiff in the federal lawsuit demanding that the FBI release the
manifesto of Audrey Hale, the biological woman identifying as a man who
in March 2023 burst into a Nashville
Christian school and murdered three
third-graders and three staff members
before being fatally shot by responding
police.
At the time, I was National Political
Editor for the Star News Network, which
has done some of the best investigative
work in bringing to light the dark mind
of a mentally deranged mass murderer
despite law enforcement efforts to keep
the killers motives shrouded in secrecy.
President Joe Bidens FBI, which pulled
the levers behind the Metropolitan
Nashville Police Departments (MNPD)
handling of the politically charged case,
denied my FOIA request for Hales manifesto. The file includes hundreds of pages
of the 28-year-old womans journals and
other writings.
In May 2023, Star News CEO and
Editor-in-Chief Michael Patrick Leahy
and I filed a lawsuit seeking the documents. Star News also sued the
Nashville Police Department, joining the
Tennessean newspaper and other groups
in what became a combined complaint.

Ruling: Parents, not schools, greenlit to raise their kids
Absolutely no one won at the U.S.
Supreme Court this term more than
Americas parents and children.
Parents, not public schools, can direct
the upbringing of their children especially in religious matters, the high court
ruled Friday in Mahmoud v. Taylor.
The case is an ongoing tug-ofwar between parents and Marylands
Montgomery County Public Schools
over whether the district can expose the
youngest of children to LGBT books touting alternative sexual lifestyles without
the parents consent.
The high court said in unequivocal
terms that schools cannot do so.
We have long recognized the rights of
parents to direct the religious upbringing of their children, Justice Samuel
Alito wrote for the courts 6-3 majority.
And this is not merely a right to teach
religion in the confines of ones own
home. Rather, it extends to the choices
that parents wish to make for their children outside the home.
The ruling is a de facto parents bill of
rights.
Common sense would dictate this
outcome, if the Constitution did not.
Americans cannot truly be considered
to be free citizens if their government
decides what their children can and cannot be exposed to at the earliest of ages.

The Federalist reported, four days after
the shooting at the Christian elementary
school, Biden issued a statement insisting that Transgender Americans shape
our Nations soul. New York Post columnist Miranda Devine at the time noted
that the far-left president railed against
MAGA extremists [who] are advancing hundreds of hateful and extreme
state laws that target transgender kids
and their families. These attacks are
un-American and must end. He said
nothing about a twisted trans Nashville
area resident indoctrinated in hate.
Fighting Back
We learned more about that thanks to
reporting by the Tennessee Star, the flagship news site of the Star News Network.
The online outlet obtained from a source
familiar with the investigation the killers full 2023 journal, which paints a
picture of a deeply troubled biological

In the copies of dozens of handwritten pages obtained last year, Hale

she wanted to kill all you little crackers expressing rage over their white
privlages [sic].

Jul 3 – Not much in the
way of activity is being

Fourth of July, which
is Friday. The Chamber

LOCAL
Jackson County residents seek
injunction to pause solar farm
Lawsuit drawing
attention of property
rights advocates
BY DANE HICKS
THE KANSAS INFORMER
SENECA Plaintiffs in
a major Kansas industrial solar farm lawsuit are
awaiting a decision on an
injunction sought earlier
this month against NextEra
Energy in federal court in
Kansas City, Kansas.
Plaintiffs
Thomas
Hoffman, Joseph Strong,
Vincent Shibler and David
Shibler, all Jackson County
residents, named former
U.S. Treasury Department
head Janet Yellen, Jackson
County Commissioners
and other officials in the
lawsuit which seeks to
pause the 5,000 acre solar
project until its environmental impact can be
assessed. The courts decision on the June 18 hearing
on in the case has not yet
been delivered.
NextEras 5,000 acre, 500
megawat Jeffrey Solar project in southwest Jackson
County could be operational by 2030.
The
federal
complaint says the National
Environmental
Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA) often
called the Magna Carta
of U.S. environmental law
requires federal agencies to prepare a detailed
statement of environmen-
tal impact for all major
federal actions significantly affecting the quality of
the human environment.
The complaint alleges
federal entities and other
officials named as defendants failed to apply NEPA
to renewable projects in
Kansas and other states
that received massive federal subsidies through the
Inflation Reduction Act.
Without those reviews, the
plaintiffs allege the federal
agents who approved the
IRA tax subsidies for those
projects acted unlawfully.
The
Biden
Administrations Inflation Reduction Act,
often maligned by critics
for its massive federal
spending which they say
spurred post-Covid U.S.
inflation instead of curbing it, included a program
of transferable tax credits
that cover as much as 70
percent of the cost of new
industrial scale solar and
wind farm projects. Those
subsidies can be sold for
tax-free revenue, and federal reports say the cost of
those energy tax subsidies
could top $1.8 trillion over
the next decade. The incentives have spurred a boom
in new solar and wind projects in the U.S., and pitted
rural landowners anxious
to lease their land to the
projects against neighbors

Marshall touts wins in Trump bill
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Kansas Senator Roger
Marshall touted bulletpoints in Tuesdays Senate
passage of President
Trumps Big, Beautiful
Bill. The bill now goes back
to the U.S. House for final
passage.
President
Trump
promised more money in
your pocket, a secure border, and a strong national defense, and today the
Senate delivered, said
Senator Marshall. The
House should immediately take up the Republican
reconciliation bill and get
it to the Presidents desk
by July 4th. This is just
the beginning of Americas
great Golden Age.
Key aspects from the
reconciliation bill include:
Delivering the largest
tax cut for middle- and
working-class Americans
in history.
Securing bigger paychecks, boosting the takehome pay for hardworking,
typical families by over
$10,000 a year.
Renewing and expanding 45Z, which extends the
tax credit and gives the
ethanol industry the time
and financial incentive to
build up the infrastructure
needed for the U.S. to be
less reliant on foreign fuel,
opens new markets for
farmers, and increases ethanol production across the
Midwest.
Funding and resources
to continue deporting illegal aliens, securing our
border, and supporting law
enforcement.
Supporting U.S. Border
Patrol and ICE agents,
including a $10,000 bonus
annually over the next four
years.
Cutting taxes on tips,
overtime, and social security.
Providing much-needed reinforcements hiring
10,000 new ICE personnel,
5,000 new Customs officers,
and 3,000 new Border Patrol
agents.

The outcome of this
hearing could set a precedent for how renewable
energy projects are evaluated nationwide, said

Its a fight to ensure our

levels made it hard for
the agency to staff personnel because it didnt pay
fair market wages, but
increased salaries had
expanded and solidified
staff. Fawson said the
centers overall budget is
now some $75 million, but
he said even that level of
funding wasnt sufficient
to meet growing needs for
mental health and addiction services in the region

county supported SEKs

hard to justify the contribution to an agency so flush
with other funds.
We have never not supported the mission youre
doing, McGhee said.
