Bunnel to be arraigned
on multiple felonies
Charges date to 2022, at
core of feud between sheriff
and GOP primary candidate
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY A Colony man will be
arraigned next Monday in connection with a variety of felony and
misdemeanor charges connected to a
regional crime spree in 2021 and 2022
in multiple counties.
Brandon Bunnel, 37, faces charges
of possession and distribution of
methamphetamine as well as fleeing
and eluding law enforcement officers,
criminal threat, resisting official
duty and domestic battery, among
others. Other felony charges connected to the incidents were pursued in
Osage and Miami counties. Anderson
County has five separate cases naming Bunnel with an additional misdemeanor traffic case.
Bunnel was indirectly connected
to the June 2022 feud between Kansas
Republican gubernatorial primary candidate George Arlyn Briggs
and the Anderson County Sheriff's
Department that resulted in criminal threat charges
being
brought
against
Briggs
when he criticized
the Departments
investigation
of
allegations against
Bunnel.
Briggs
avoided a felony conviction in
Bunnel
September of last
year in a plea agreement he pled guilty to misdemeanors
of making a fake call for emergency
services, criminal damage to property
and violating a protective order.
Briggs lost the state GOP nomination to Kansas Attorney General
Derek Schmidt, but picked up some
80,000 Republican votes in the primary contest.
Bunnel was involved in an October

Kansas bill would provide tax credit for
private school, homeschooled families
BY PATRICK RICHARDSON
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA A bill that would provide a
tax credit to families whose children
are in either private school or are
homeschooled passed an important
procedural hurdle earlier this week
when the Kansas Senate Committee
on Assessment and Taxation recommended SB 509 be passed by the full
chamber.
Senate Bill 509 would create an
income tax credit of 75% of Base State
Aid for Excellence (BASE) for Kansas
residents with children enrolled in
an accredited nonpublic school, i.e.
private school, and 50% for children
enrolled in a nonaccredited private elementary or secondary school
registered with the (Kansas State)
Department of Education.
If passed, for tax year 2024 the
first year for which the bill would
be effective the tax credit would
be capped at $75 million but would
be increased by an additional 25%
for any year in which the number of
credits claimed was 90% or more of
the cap.
BASE is currently $5,088 per student. Eligible families could therefore
claim a credit of approximately $3,816

Kansas congressional reps agree to force TikTok sale
They seldom agree on
major issues, but Chinese
app threat brings concensus
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON DC. In a political
environment where all four Kansas
congressmen rarely agree on anything, they all agreed last week the
video social media platform TikTok
should be split from its Chinese
Communist ties or face a ban in the
United States.
The vote showed overwhelming
support across the U.S. House to
force the divestiture, with a 352-65
vote confirming concerns about the
social media platform critics say
distributes harmful content, manipulates young news consumers and
shuffles personal data across the
Internet to Chinese adversaries.
The threat is real and demands
action, said Kansas 2nd District
Congressman Jake LaTurner.
"The Chinese Communist Party
will stop at nothing to gain influ-
ence in the United Statesincluding using TikTok to steal keystrokes and data from over 170
million Americans, LaTurner
said Friday. It's vital that TikTok
cuts ties with the CCP to
ensure Kansans are not
being targeted, manipulated, and spied on by our
nation's greatest foreign
adversary."
Davids office commented that the Second
District Congresswoman
understands the role that
TikTok plays in the lives of many
Kansans, including small business owners, but "also recognizes
the potential negative impact the
Chinese Communist Party could
have on our youth and Kansans
data security, according to a statement.
The move brought out some
opponents on both the Democrat
and Republican sides who say censorship of any such private entity is
contrary to the First Amendment,
but critics have long held the con-
tent presented on the American version of Tik Tok varies widely from
that available on mainland China
which is focused primarily on
educational and academic content.
Still, the wide use of the platform
by commercial businesses as a marketing tool muddies the water as the
measure now goes before the U.S.
Senate for consideration. President
Biden has said he will sign the bill if
it passes both houses of Congress.
Its estimated some 40 percent
of young adults use TikTok and
Facebooks Instagram application for their primary Internet
search instead of traditional search engines like Google or
DuckduckGo. The platform says 150
million Americans use it, with twothirds of Americans age 18-29 being
regular users.
The move to force TikToks
sale from present Chinese owner
ByteDance to an
American
firm
is
problematic
particularly
for
Democrats, because
the party depends
so much on younger voters who prefer TikTok. Older
voters who typically support Republican candidates
are more likely to use Facebook,
which in order to combat TikToks
video content developed its own
associated video platform reels,
which now vye for traffic with the
Chinese platform.
Because of its prevalence among
younger information consumers,
TikTok is identified repeatedly for
its use by promoters of trangender culture, particularly in view

Kansas poor get highest perentage tax reduction under new flat tax plan
First $22k of family pay
would be exempt before
5.7% flat rate is applied
BY GANON EVANS
THE KANSAS POLICY FOUNDATION
TOPEKA Last week the Kansas
Senate passed SB 539, the second
flat tax bill this session, after an
earlier bill was vetoed by Governor
Kelly and Republicans failed its
override. Compared to Governor
Kellys own plan,
SB 539 offers more
savings to taxpayers with low-income taxpayers having the largest
percent reduction each year.
Heres how it works: in its first
year, the bill sets a flat tax rate that
is, the same rate across all brackets
of income at Kansass top rate of
5.7%. However, this comes with the
first $22,000 a family earns being
exempted from taxation so there is
tax relief, particularly for low-income earners.
Then, for each
year after, the rate drops by 0.05
percentage points until it ends up at
5.45%.
Since the flat rate of 5.7% is the
same as the current top marginal
rate, the savings cap out at $168 for
married couples with two children
and adjusted gross income above
$80,000 and at $70 for individuals
ANALYSIS
with AGI above $40,000. A couple
with two children and $40,000 AGI
will save $485 the first year, and
an individual with $20,000 AGI will
save $157 (both exclusive of any
earned income tax credit). Each
example assumes the taxpayer takes
the standard deduction and doesnt
have Social Security income.
The savings for middle-income
households and individual taxpayers increase significantly beginning

accounts distributing inaccurate, pro-Russian propaganda
designed to artificially amplify pro-Russian narratives
on the Russian invasion of
Ukraine, targeting Ukrainian
and Russian users.
Some 800 fake accounts,

Will we see the need?
In Psalm 50:21, God says.
These things you have done
and I have kept silent; you
thought I was altogether like
you. But I will rebuke you
and accuse you to your face.
I believe many times we as
humans believe God is like us.
This view point is altogether wrong. We cannot attach
human attributes to God. God
is our creator and we were created in his image but God also
allowed us the power of choice.
We can choose to do right or
we can choose to do wrong. In
2nd Corinthians 5:21, we read.
God made him who had no
sin to be sin for us, so that in
him we might become the righteousness of God So now it
is apparent God does not compromise his righteousness and
meet us half way so that we can
stay in our same sinful state.
Now God says, these things
you have done and I have kept
silent. At times God appears
to be silent. But by his silence
he is not condoning sin, nor is
he indifferent to it. Instead, he
is withholding deserved punishment, giving time for people
to repent. But his silence does
not last forever and a time of
punishment will come. We can
see this plainly in the captivity of the Hebrews in Egypt as
well as the Babylonian captivity. Each time these people
went into captivity they did so
because they disobeyed God.
In Psalm 137 we read the following lament. By the rivers
of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
There on the poplars we hung
our harps, for there our captors asked us for songs, our
tormentors demanded songs of
joy: they said, Sing us one of
the songs of Zion.
It is very difficult to imagine us ever losing any of our
freedom. After all we have a
strong national defense and we
live in the bread basket of the
world. I dont believe we will
ever be conquered in any area
like this. But Rome was never
conquered either. It decayed
from within. Rome fell due to
the undermining of the dignity
of the home. Higher and higher taxes. A mad craze for pleasure. Becoming more brutal
and immoral and the decay of
religion.
I believe once a nation
starts down this path only
the intervention of God, not
man will save it. Each time
the Israelites repented and
got right with God he brought
them out of captivity. The
question we have to answer is
do we see the need to repent or
will it be necessary for God to
show us?

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 19, 2024
OPINION
How much power does Evergy need?
Can I ask you to do one thing today?
Contact your Kansas House Member and ask
them to vote No on HB2527.
If passed the bill would give Evergy unfettered power to recoup cost and depreciation,
with many more carve outs and include this cost
in rate increase hearings. Guess who pays? If
you have electricity at your house, you do.
The language is troubling for transparency as
well as creating a new hearing process around
the authority of the KCC. Utility rates would be
uncontrollable and no process would be left to
fight them.
Also known as the Public Utility Cost Recovery
Bill, it was introduced in the House Energy,
Utility, & Telecommunication Committee at the
request of Evergy, so evidently nothing is too far
out of bounds for this company to ask of Kansas
ratepayers.
To be a necessary monopoly who has a guaranteed revenue stream without competition in
power production and transmission delivery
tariffs, one would assume the cards are all ready
stacked in Evergys favor. But In the race to
control the endless supply of federal government subsidies which are ushering in the new
religion of Zero Carbon, Evergy is wasting no
time making out their long laundry list of statute changes in HB 2527 that will make sure lots
of stockholders reap big benefits on the backs of
Kansas customers.
Reading the amended version of HB 2527,
it is apparent that not only Evergys interests
will be served, but also the interests of the
Southwest Power Pools Integrated Market Place
of Renewable Energy (large-scale solar and massive wind turbine fields) that Evergy has been
structuring over the last four years. The bill
gives Evergy carte blanche over:
Establishing cost recovery mechanisms for
public utilities
Construction of certain electric generation
facilities
Revising the determination of rate base,
Revising Capital structure
Revising Return on equity in utility rate proceedings
Revising the provision of economic development electric rates
Evergy, the necessary monopoly, will assume
the role of making sure shareholders are guaranteed an equitable return on investment .
For ratepayers in Kansas, equitable and just
have replaced reliable as well as affordable.
Reliable and Affordable was the promise of
the federal government to the public back in the
1930s when landowners had to surrender their
land for the public good in the building of the

electrical grid.
House Bill 2527 creates a new section of laws
that would allow recovery of 100% of depreciation expense no matter what the KCC would
allow. Get ready for the Zero Tax to go with
Evergys Zero Carbon according to the allowable
deductions utilities can take. Statements like
account for qualifying electric plants placed
into service less retirements of the plants being
replaced alludes to construction of facilities,
but never elaborates on what they are retiring.
Cleaner burning, highly efficient, cheap-to-operate coal plants, maybe?
If the bill passed, rate increase requests will
now omit the agencies that are in place to create
transparency for the public like the Kansas
Corporation Commission. The new cost recovery mechanism would restructure the process
of revising the determination of rate base,
capital structure and return on equity in utility
rate proceedings, leaving ratepayers and the
Citizens Utility Rate Board neutered once again.
The most concerning statements would be
found on Page 5 thru 8 where Evergy would
become the NEW Kansas Economic Development
Czar, with the power to extend discounts for electric to certain businesses, decide what certain
electric generation facilities would be covered or
decide location. The bill also proposes construction surcharges where Evergy customers would
be on the hook to finance Evergys system build
out without proper safeguards for ratepayers.
But the striking statements that shine in
this bill are the dismissive language used when
addressing the Kansas Corporation Commissions
and its Authority. What avenue would be available for ratepayers or property owners to stand
up for their property rights or question companies that are operating like rogue agents. The
entanglement of rules, regulations, administraSEE MACHA ON PAGE 6

The deceptively named neo-Nazi DEI ideology
progressively institutionalized by Democrats

Democrat DEI race hate was illustrated at a Yale
School of Medicine forum where speaker Dr.
Aruna Khilanani, was lauded for stating I had
fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head
of any White person that got in my way, burying their body and wiping my bloody hands as I

Security regs can create path to insider trading
The U.S. Justice Department and the
Securities and Exchange Commission are
fooling around with regulations which would
allow corporations hit by cyberattacks to keep
some from the public, supposedly to protect
national security and the public interest.
Thats a dangerous course, first because
the public has a right to know such things,
and because secrecy which could stretch
from a month to more than a year would
greatly increase the possibility of stock traders latching onto insider information about
any threat to a publicly owned company and
to manipulate the price of its stock or make
money on information only they and corporate insiders possess.
Federal law long has made trading on insider information illegal because of the very
real threat that corporate insiders or those
who learn information harmful to a publicly
traded company could cheat stockholders by
buying and selling a firms stock before the
information is announced.
Companies are required to announce anything expected to make a material difference in their financial position or stock price.
Executives and others in the know are not
allowed to trade their own firms stock until
the public also knows what has happened.
Reports must be filed with the commission as
soon as possible. Insiders who try to cheat on

the trading rules often wind up in jail.
The Justice Department, under Attorney
General Merrick Garland, has said it will
accept the role of judging corporate requests
to keep major cyberattacks secret if they
threaten national security. Its possible many
businesses will seek this protection, regardless of the threat that will open a firms stock
price to.
Cyberthreats are a big deal, both for business and government. Allowing corporations
to keep quiet on these attacks poses a danger
to stockholders, who would be the losers if
a rumor of an attack causes a run on the
stock.
Major attacks may involve crippling or
disabling a companys computer systems,
stealing data on the company, its customers
and its stockholders. Often, thieves demand
huge ransoms to restore a firms systems.
Many companies give in rather than face the
expense of recreating their software and databases,
Officials gave a few examples of an incident
that could threaten national security and permit a delay in announcing an attack:
When an incident involves a technique
with no known mitigation, for example, a softward vulnerability with no patch or cure yet
available.
An attack involving a company holding
sensitive government information, announcement of which could lead to more attacks.
A threat to a firm which works on critical infrastructure where disclosure could
undermine efforts to correct the issue.
These threats are out there, as Kansas
courts learned last year when criminals
locked up the computer systems serving a
whole branch of state government. The courts
were slow to even admit a criminal attack had
taken place, but Supreme Court justices wisely refused to pay ransom.

Letters to the editor
Family offers thanks, praise for help after fire destroyed home
Dear editor,
The last 4 weeks have been an extremely
trying time for my wife Patty and I since the
fire that destroyed our home and took nearly
all our household possessions. We wouldnt
want to wish the experience on anyone, but
the response of the community toward us has
been an unbelievable blessing that is impossible to adequately express our thanks to everyone for. But I will make a meager attempt to
try.
First of all a great thanks to all the emergency responders from Sheriff Valentine and
his officers that responded, Mark Locke and
Emergency Management, as well as the firefighters of the Welda, Garnett Rural, Harris,
Colony, Greeley, Westphalia departments, the
fire auxillary, and Anderson Co. EMS.
Then the response of friends, neighbors,
business associates, and even a lot of people
we didnt even know, to provide clothes, food,
furniture, kitchen equipment, and cash has
just been mind blowing. Even before the fire
was out friends and neighbors were stopping
by with clothes and offers to help. The wonderful people of the Mont Ida Church turned
their annual chili and soup supper, already
scheduled for that week, into a benefit for
us. Then the great folks of the Welda United
Methodist put together a wonderful benefit
breakfast the next Saturday.
Our brothers and sisters of the Garnett
Church of the Nazarene have prepared so
much food its just been unbelievable, as well
as many of those folks giving cash to pay for
necessities. The Knights of Columbus put
together a nice gift to help with replacing
some of the stuff required for daily life, as
did the First Christian Church of Iola. And
Pattys wonderful place of employment, QSI in
Richmond stepped up with food, clothing, and
household stuff. And thanks to all those folks
who gave anonymously at these events.
Lastly, my brothers of the Welda Fire
Department, whom I have served with for
the last 30 years, not only showed up with a
wonderful cash gift the morning after the fire,
but came back 3 weeks later and put together
a spaghetti feed fund raiser and silent auction
that helped us tremendously.
And we want to thank all those businesses
and individuals who donated to the silent

Bibles In Schools offers new approach to expand school resources
Dear Editor ,
I am writing to you as a concerned citizen
and advocate for educational enrichment in
your community and Kansas. I want to bring
attention to the valuable work being done by
Bibles in Schools, a non-profit organization
dedicated to enhancing educational resources
in public schools.
Bibles in Schools has been actively involved
in donating graphic Action Bibles to public
school libraries across Kansas. These graphic Action Bibles are dynamic and engaging
resources that offer a unique approach to
learning about biblical stories and values.
They have already been distributed to over
400 public schools in our state, enriching the
reading materials available to students.
I believe it is important to recognize the
efforts of an organizations like Bibles in
Schools, which seeks to provide diverse educational resources to our schools, by offering
graphic Action Bibles, they are contributing to a more comprehensive and inclusive
learning environment for students of all backgrounds.
I encourage your community to support
initiatives like this one, which aim to broaden
educational opportunities and promote literacy among our youth. If any of your readers are
interested in learning more about Bibles in
Schools or how to get involved, they can visit
the organizations website, https://biblesinschools.org or email info@biblesinschool.org.

Ten million illegals have flooded across the
open borders with Biden who now is, at your
expense, also flying in hundreds of thousands
more directly from violent gang-ridden countries. Criminals and terrorists are uncheckable since those countries do not share their
records. This disaster has cost a trillion dollars, overwhelming hospitals, prisons and
welfare. Property taxes soar with Democrat
courts mandating schools enroll the children
of illegals. This is deliberate Democrat warfare on this country. Only an ignorant fool
would still vote Democrat.

The hospital board of trustees
directed Jim Johnson to contact the SRS office to inform
them of the change that would

mental health evaluations.
This directive comes a scant
60 days after a woman escaped
from SRS custody while using
a bathroom need as a ruse. The
incident allowed the escapee
to walk out of the hospital and
around the northwestern corner of Garnett for nearly an
hour without proper outerwear
on January 16. With time running out, the Anderson County
Commissioners have been leaning toward installing a trash

Three residential fires in

County last week. Both homes
destroyed had wood heating
stoves in use after the cold front
passed through the area, but an
official cause of the blazes will
not be released until later. The
first fire at the home of Jesse
and Linda Brown, about five
miles south of Garnett, shortly
before noon, was called in when
the homeowner said he left the
bed of coals in the wood stove
to do some outdoor chores and
returned to the home to find the
house fully engulfed. The second was at Kenneth and Karen
Petersilies mobile home two
miles southeast of Garnett a
few hours after the Brown fire.
The Petersillies were headed
out of town when they were
notified by cell phone of the
fire. The Petersillies are no

total loss ten years ago when
their home burned two days
before Christmas in 1994.

Work on the new Anderson
County Hospital continues following a topping out ceremony on Feb 12 that marked the
installation of the final steel
beam and, therefore, the steel
frame. Ground was broken on
the new building in August
2013 after a contentious vote
among the community. The
original ACH building, a 1949era hospital and long-term care
facility, had long been called
outdated and needed replacement. The most recent tax sale
includes the former Arkhaven
Nursing Home building. The
now-vacant building was used
during the construction of the
Anderson County Sheriffs
office and jail as a temporary sheriff and jail quarters
with rooms turned into holding cells for prisoners. Last
year, Anderson County High
Schools junior class repurposed the building for a haunted house. Still, many potential
buyers have not been interested due to extensive disrepair
and other problems throughout
the building. Listed in the tax
sale for the nearly $185,000 past
due in property taxes, the building will go on the auction block
on Monday, March 24. County
officials have expressed interest in purchasing the building,
but speculation confirms that it
will likely be razed no matter
who buys the building.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 19, 2024
LOCAL
CREDIT…
FROM PAGE 1
if their child is in private
school or about $2,544 for children attending non-accredited
schools, significantly offsetting
the cost of private school tuition or purchasing curricula
and supplies for homeschooling often a barrier to leaving
public education.
As a refundable tax credit,
the Education Opportunity
Tax Credit, as it is called,
would not be automatic, but
parents would have to specifically claim the credit and
provide a valid social security
number for each child claimed,
and the Kansas Department of
Revenue would have to verify
with KSDE the enrollment status of the child.
James Franko, president of
the Kansas Policy Institute
which owns the Sentinel testified in support of the bill.
Franko noted that, while support for school choice is strong
in Kansas, progress toward
choice in the Sunflower state
has been slow, while student
achievement has been declining precipitously. One-third of
students are below grade level
in reading and math, and only
about a third are proficient.
The tax credit would especially help the third of students
who are below grade level.
Certainly, many kids
receive a quality education
in Kansas, but the facts also
make clear that many do not,
Franko said. This fact is true
across districts and the state.
This is true despite the best
efforts of countless teachers,
counselors, paraprofessionals,
and others working in our public schools.
I would also like to point out
the stagnating overall achievement in Kansas schools and
the staggering achievement
gaps between low-income and
non-low-income children, he
continued. There are many reasons for these long-term trends,
and they must be addressed.
Franko noted that while
there is no silver bullet for
fixing the achievement issues
in the state, giving parents
more opportunities to find the
proper educational fit for
their children will help particularly for at-risk populations
such as children in foster care
or low-income families.
`Franko also reiterated that
school choice exists in every
state if they have the money.
We have school choice in
Kansas for the families that
can afford it, he said. But not
everyone can afford it.
Unsurprisingly the education establishment, from KSDE
to the Kansas State Board of
Education oppose to the bill
even though it does not directly affect funding for public
schools.
During the hearing, Senator
Tom Holland (D-Baldwin City),
asked Franko if he thought it
was a core mission for the
state of Kansas to provide a
quality public education for
every child in this state?
Franko said the goal should
be a quality education, period.
I think it is incumbent
upon the state to provide a good
education for every student in
the state, whether that is in a
private institution or any other
kind of institution, he said.
Holland pressed, asking
given that the state is already
providing a public education
for every child why should
the state take on the burden of,
in essence, funding a private
education?
Franko noted that the data
clearly shows that one system
does not work equally well for
every child.
Moreover, Holland failed
to note that parents of private
school or homeschool children
are still funding public education through their property
taxes but not actually using
the service they are paying for.
Holland then tried to suggest
that the bill would be akin to
a group of residents deciding
they want a private police force
and then getting the legislature
to pass tax credits to pay for it.
Senator Renee Erickson
(R-Newton), noted that if a
police force was only effective
30% of the time, it might be
appropriate for a community
to look at a private option that
met their needs more fully
particularly if it could be done
without taking funding away
from the existing service.
In written testimony, Leah
Fliter, Assistant Executive
Director for Advocacy for the
Kansas Association of School
Boards, predictably tried to
suggest that SB509s tax credit
would divert money from public schools.
SB 509 would appropriate
an unknown amount of income
tax revenue from the State
General Fund and funnel it to
income-tax vouchers for undefined and unregulated spending and away from the public schools that serve nearly
500,000 Kansas children, she
wrote. SB 509 does not require
the non-accredited schools
that would utilize the incometax voucher to demonstrate
their students are making any
kind of academic progress.
SB 509 doesnt require back-
ground checks for the staff of
the non-accredited schools that
would profit from the voucher.
Fliter consistently tries to
suggest accountability restrictions on private schools that are
not imposed on public schools.
In this case, public schools do
not have to demonstrate that
students are making progress.
Indeed, outcomes have significantly declined without consequence to public schools.
Non-accredited is generally a euphemism for homeschooled, and research shows
that homeschooled students
tend to test 15 to 25 percentile points higher than public
school students putting them
in the upper 75% percent of students. Moreover, the staff at
most nonaccredited schools
are parents.
Deena Horst and Ann Mah,
both of KSDE, also wrote in
opposition.
They repeated the accountability argument and also posited a hypothetical argument
in which a court finds the tax
credits constitute state funding of nonpublic schools.
Given the number of
court cases that have dictated how public schools must
operate, what discipline may
be imposed, etc., because they
are funded by tax dollars, it
is surprising that non-public
schools would even be interested in receiving tax dollars,
they wrote. If the nonpublic
school accepts students whose
parents receive funds through
tax dollars, will they now be
required to serve that student
regardless of possible learning
or behavior issues?
As is often the case, Horst
and Mah cited no legal basis
for their opinions and completed ignored that many students
are below grade level in public
schools.
And while communicating
a possible lawsuit by districts,
they ignored the fact that, as a
tax credit to parents, the nonpublic school is not receiving
tax dollars directly.
Ultimately, Franko said,
the goal should not be to have
good public schools simply for
the sake of having good public
schools.
The goal is to give every
Kansas child the opportunity
to succeed, he said. That will
mean attending a high performing public school for most children, but it should also include
a different avenue for children
where the local public school is
not the right fit.
ly contributed $238 million
in output and 772 jobs to the
Anderson County economy in
2023. Including indirect and
induced effects, agriculture
and agriculture-related sectors
had a total impact of $287 million in output, 1,040 jobs and
29% of the total Gross Regional
Product.
Regarding the Franklin
County economy in 2023, agriculture and agriculture-related sectors directly contributed
$328 million in output and 1,375
jobs. Including indirect and
induced effects, agriculture
and agriculture-related sectors
had a total impact of $390 million in output, 1,745 jobs and
12% of the total Gross Regional
Product.
Also in 2023, agriculture
and agriculture-related sectors
directly contributed $207 mil-
lion in output and 1,644 jobs to
the Miami County economy.
Including indirect and induced
effects, agriculture and agriculture-related sectors had a
total impact of $252 million in
output, 1,898 jobs and 8% of the
total Gross Regional Product.
Per the Kansas Department
of Agriculture, the model that
generated these figures does
not include ethanol production
nor wholesale and retail sales
of final products.
According to local producers,
a strong agricultural economy
is bolstered by the cooperation of the whole community.
Franklin County producer
Jake Sylvester is appreciative
of that support. We are fortunate to have several local suppliers of agricultural inputs
that provide great customer
service to farmers and ranch-
ers in our community, he said.
Another eastern Kansas
producer, Doug Shoup, agrees.
People are very understanding in our community about
the busy times of agriculture.
They are sensitive to planting, harvesting, and, when the
weather is tough, sensitive to
the cattlemen about caring for
their animals in brutal weather, Shoup said.
The local communities could
also contribute to the growth
of agriculture, Sylvester said.
There is a constant demand
for workers in our agricultural
industry both on farms and at
local ag retailers. The community could increase support by
helping to promote interest in
these types of jobs with young
adults entering the workforce,
he said.
The two producers have
some ideas on how agricultural and nonagricultural sectors
can work together to strengthen the local economy. Shoup
and Sylvester agree that promotion of locally grown products is a good place to start.
Find ways to process products grown here, thus creating
jobs and keeping revenue in
our local communities, Shoup
said.
There are goods and services that agricultural and
non-agricultural sectors can
provide to the local economy,
Sylvester said. Finding ways
to showcase those goods and
services together to the public
would help to strengthen the
local economy.
Creating an understanding
of todays agricultural industry
is also important.
Agriculture is a very
diverse and rapidly evolving
space in our community,
Sylvester said. Those of us in
the ag industry welcome questions and involvement by others. Giving understanding of
who we are, what we do, and
what we value strengthens our
place in the community.
The introduction of the
banners to the communities is
one way to highlight the many
facets of agriculture. We are
excited to bring awareness to
the importance of agriculture
in our communities through
the banner project, said Lisa
Rivers of the Franklin County
Farm Bureau Association.
The banners will return in
March 2025, and we are hopeful
that they will increase in number as additional sponsors step
forward.
with two children whose AGI
increases 3% from $50,000 to
$51,500 has the entire increase
taxed at 5.25% in the current
system, resulting in a 7.2% tax
increase. If inflation was 3%,
the couples purchasing power
doesnt change, but they still
get a tax increase.
However, under SB 539, only
$420 of the pay increase is taxable because they get higher
inflation-adjusted deductions
for the standard deduction,
personal exemption, and the
amount exempt from taxation. In this case, a 3% pay
increase only results in a 2.1%
tax increase, leaving the couple
with a slight increase in buying power.
As demonstrated by the
above examples, SB 539 offers
significant savings for low and
middle-income earners over
time and eliminates the inflation tax in the current threerate system.
Why a flat tax?
At first glance, a flat tax
is more than justified as
relief for families who have
struggled through high inflation over the last several
years and an increasingly
depressed view towards the
economy. However, a flat tax
would also be cohesive to the
long-term economic growth
Kansas has sorely been lacking in recent memory. After
corporate income taxes, individual income taxes are the
second most harmful type of
tax towards economic growth.
Reducing the burden of a per-
sonal income tax does more to
the economy than an identical
cut to, say, a sales tax.
For instance, an income tax
affects peoples willingness to
work: the more a worker is
taxed, the less they earn and
can spend, and thus can be
dissuaded from working more.
Studies of flat taxes in Europe
have found that their implementation increases the number of people working and the
number of hours they work,
with the most significant
effects coming with tax cuts
for people with lower incomes.
A nationwide flat tax was estimated to increase savings by 10
to 20%.
Between 2021 and 2023, 27
states enacted some form of
income tax rate reductions,
including every single one of
Kansass neighbors. Some of
these states, such as Idaho,
Utah, North Carolina, Florida,
Arizona, and Colorado, are
some of the fastest growing in
terms of GDP, employment,
and wages in the entire country.
By comparison, Privatesector job growth in Kansas
was ranked #44 between 1998
and 2022. December 2023 private-sector jobs were just 0.3%
higher than the year before,
which also is far below the
national average. Kansas had
the worst record in 2023 among
bordering states on domestic
migration, as more U.S. residents moved out of state than
in, according to data from the
U. S. Census.

in tax year 2025 because deductions are increased for inflation and the flat rate declines.
The amended bill that
passed on Thursday included
a provision completely exempting Social Security benefits
from taxation and a child tax
credit. Neither of these provisions affect the income tax
changes above, but do increase
the fiscal note on the bill not
in a way that the state cant
afford, as demonstrated later.
Everyone pays the same rate
on taxable income, but exempting the first $22,000 married
and $11,000 single means that
the effective tax rates are still
progressive.
The effective
tax rate is tax liability divided by adjusted gross income.
The income exemption also
exempts many low-income
taxpayers from paying any
income tax.
A couple with two children
with adjusted gross income
below $36,000 will not pay any
income tax under 539 but they
pay $589 in state income taxes
under the current tax system.
A single taxpayer will not pay
tax on the first $15,000 of AGI,
whereas they pay $287 currently (not counting an earned
income credit in both cases).
The standard deduction,
personal exemptions, and
dependent exemptions are
indexed for inflation beginning
in tax year 2025. That nearly
eliminates having to pay higher taxes because of inflation.

Mighty Hunter
By Bryan Yoder

Ms. Frieda Keim
Honorable Mention
Once there was a mighty
Hunter
I think his name is Joe
The only thing he liked to
hunt
Was very nice big does
One day he was walking
along
He saw a not bad doe
The only thing he could
shoot it with
Was with his little bow
As he raised his bow to
shoot
And then to his dismay
The doe looked at him
And starts to walk away
As Joe watched the doe
Quickly walk away
That was all the luck he
had
On that hunting day
I Am a Water Bottle

Honorable Mention
I am a thing called a water
bottle and I am white with
black designs on me and I was
made in a factory.
One night as I was sleeping
peacefully on my shelf in the
store some weirdo came in and
stole me! How dare he! I wanted
to go back in the warm store
and go back to sleep on my
shelf. But no! That weirdo took
me out in the cold night and
told me I was going to drink the
water and me because he was
thirsty. He pushed my nose in
his mouth. Disgusting! That
was just awful! It was like going
into a dark, wet, stinky cave!
And I could even see his tonsils! They looked and smelled
just terrible! They were brown,
black, and kind of greenish! At
first I thought they had mold
on them but I finally decided
that they were just naturally
like that. But help me! I just
had to get out of that smelly
hole or I might just die! I pulled

back as hard as I could and
thankfully I came out. I was so
mad I squirted water square in
his eyes! Nice shot! I commented to myself. But now he was
mad. He stuck my nose in his
mouth again and bit down hard
on my nose. Ouch! That hurt
real bad by now I was furious.
I lunged forward and landed on
the back of his throat. Squish!
Oh my word! I forgot all about
that weirdos tonsils and I totally paid the price for it. Oh they
smell just dreadful! I jerked
back and jumped out of that
weirdos arms and made a run
for it!
By now that weirdo was
as mad as I was and he took
off after me yikes! Here he
comes! I whirled around and
got my fists ready. He came
charging in and I jumped up
and socked him right in his
mouth. Bullseye. That weirdo
went down with a thud and
you know what? I jumped on
him and beat the stuffing out of
that weirdo. After that I decided I had a rough night so I went
back to the store, climbed on
my shelf and fell back asleep.

The Disgusting Surprise
The Shatter
By Autumn Brown
5th Grade Central Heights
Mrs. Riemer
Honorable Mention
Hi my name is Maddie. I
am 12 and I live in Denver,
Colorado. I have a sister named
Miya. We Are twins, but we
have different personalities.
Im the older twin by around
6 minutes, and today I will be
telling you the horrific story of
how my sister got possessed.
It all started on our birthday. First we ate lunch, and
cake then we opened the presents. I got an angel necklace, a
green blanket and a new pair
of earrings. Miya got a new
pair of shoes, new sunglasses
and then an angel stone. The
angel stone gave me the chills.
I was starting to get worried. Miya started to bring the
stone everywhere to school,
basketball, even church. She
even fought Mom because
Mom said Miya shouldnt
bring the stone. It was like the
stone was attached to her.
A couple of nights later we
woke up to a crash. the stone
had fallen off Miyas desk and
shattered! as I watched in horror, a red smoke rose from the
stone like a demon rising from
the dead! Next thing I knew it
was morning, I guess I fainted
or fell asleep from shock.
She started acting weird
after that. she was on the wall
somehow one morning, and
she was even on the ceiling
when I woke up one time. I
knew she was an early bird,
but I never thought she would
be on the wall or ceiling.
The next thing I know Mom
is in the hospital with a major
concussion. Miya hit mom on
the head with a baseball bat.
I was shocked when she hit
mom. Mom was in the hospital
for about 6 days getting treatment so she wouldnt have
memory loss.
Around 6 days later Miya
bit my arm. Mom scolded her
for like an hour. My arm was
still bleeding. We had to go
to the emergency room, and I
sadly ended up with stitches
for about 6 days.
We thought about sending
her to a psychiatric hospital
because of her behavior. She
hurt many people already.
We even got her checked for
rabies, but after a few days or
hours she would come back
to her senses. She was kind of
scary, and we wanted to help
her or take her to therapy, but
she would threaten us so we
decided to forget about that
idea.
We figured dad would be
next or my brother but most
likely not because my brother
moved away for college around
6 years ago. We decided to have
Dad leave for a month or two
for his own safety. Dad was
sad, but he thought that it was
better safe than sorry. The two
months went by slowly, and
Miya just got worse. The government wanted to take her
but we refused. Eventually we
decided to move without her
because she was causing too
much chaos and harm.
After a year we tried to contact her, but she didnt answer
us so we went to the old house.
When we got to our old house
she was gone, the house was
deserted. The only thing we
found left of her was the shattered angel stone.
We took the stone back to
our new house and tried to
put it back together. The stone
was shattered into millions of
pieces. It took us hours and we
still couldnt put it back together. Next we tried to take it to
our neighbor. Luke, he is great
at fixing things. Luke couldnt
even put it back together,
and like I said he fixes things
for a living. It was crazy. no
one could put the stone back
together.
Every time we tried to put
the stone together it would just
break again. It was like it had
a force field on it.

Mrs. Foltz
Honorable Mention
Has your grandma ever
thrown up on a family trip?
Mine did. We were going to
Florida.
It all started when we had
to get in the car.
Get in the car!, my mom
said angrily. So I got in our
Ford Expedition. Then we
left our house to go pick up
my grandma Connie. When
we had picked up Connie, we
headed out.
We were almost there when
my siblings and I said we
were hungry. So we stopped at
Cracker Barrel.
After we ate at Cracker
Barrel we stopped at the hotel
for the night. We got out of the
car and took our luggage up
the elevator. When we got off
the elevator, my grandma ran
to the gray trash can. Splash!
She threw up in the trash can!
It was disgusting! It was the
food she ate at Cracker Barrel!
That night while I was
snuggled in the comfy white
bed sheets, I was afraid my
grandma was sick. But the
next morning she was up and
going. She was doing great.
From there, we went to the
hotel we were staying at. Even
with the disgusting surprise
we had the best family trip
ever!

The Scientists Big Friend
By Brynlee Rockers
5th Grade Westphalia
Mrs. Schafer
Honorable Mention
Once there was a scientist
who was named Dr. Tom. He
was in the lab late at night. He
fell asleep and knocked over
some of the chemicals. The
next day, the scientist wakes
up to see a big purple one-eyed
monster. The scientist jolted
up from his seat. The monster
came closer and closer to the
scientist by each step. Dr. Tom
hid beneath the shelf but the
monster found him. The monster opened its mouth and said,
Hi my name is Harold. Dr.
Tom was scared and shocked,
but interested so he said Hi.
They became friends fast.
But the scientist had to go
to a meeting all the way across
town. He left and the monster
found the fridge. The scientist came back and found the
monster eating everything! Dr.
Tom took him to his house and
they had a lot of fun together.

My New Best Friend
By Lucy Helena Katzer
St. Rose 4th Grade
Mrs. Foltz
Today is the day! I get to
meet my new best friend! My
dad was still asleep in his bedroom and I was awake. When I
could not take it anymore.
I ran to my dads room and
yelled, Lets go get Sally!
When my dad heard me he
called out from the top of his
lungs, Go back to sleep it is
5:00 in the morning! I went to
my room and I went to sleep.
When I woke up, it was 10:00 in
the morning.
I got dressed and raced to the
kitchen. I saw my dad drinking
coffee. Are you ready to go?,
asked my dad? Of course!, I
said in excitement.
After that we got in my
dads gray car and we drove
all the way to my uncle Chris
house. When we pulled into
the bumpy driveway I thought
Sally wasnt awake. But right
when I heard that sound, woofwoof, I knew Sally was awake!
I jumped out of the car and
dashed down the steep hill as
fast as I could and thats when
I saw Sally wagging her tail.
She is a beautiful brown dog
with white down her neck. She
loves to play and jump. So I
unclipped her from the leash.
I played with Sally for hours.
We raced, played fetch (even
though she cant play fetch),
and ran around the green yard.
We were so tired when it was
time to go.
After that I knew she was
the perfect dog for me. It was
time to start a new life with
Sally.
The Best Day Ever!
By Payton Ouelette
St. Rose 4th Grade
Ms. Schafer
Honorable Mention
Have you ever seen a dolphin wave? I have seen a dolphin wave. First we parked
then I ran to the building as I
yelled, Yay! We had to check
in first. But I waited before
I got my water shoes and we
learned the rules. Next I got
my water shoes. As I walked to
the pool I could hear splashing.
Come on Mom and Dad, I
said. Finally it was time for the
part Ive been waiting for, time
to get in the pool!
Brrr the water was ice cold
but I got used to it. The trainer
was across the pool from me
and swam over with a dolphin.
The trainer told us, this is Bo.
Bo swam right up to me and
I got to pet her. She felt slimy
and slick.
After I got used to the water,
the trainer taught us tricks to
do with Bo. My favorite trick
was the dolphin wave. First I
waved at Bo then she jumped
in the air and waved her flipper
at me! At that moment I was so
happy. Then we waved goodbye to Bo. She waved back at
me and my brother.
I was so impressed that a
dolphin could wave at the right
time. I didnt want to leave but
we had to go back to the campsite. I had so much fun swimming with Bo it was really the
best day ever!

Hiking Up to North Lake
By Katy Miller
4th Grade Central Plains
Keith Yoder
Honorable Mention
It was a very exciting day
for us. We were going to hike
up to North Lake. We had
gone to Colorado for summer
break. Our cousins went with
us. Well I'd better start my
story. We started out in the
morning and it was very tiring. There were little hills
up the trail and rocks. We
hiked as fast as we could
so we could beat the sun
because we had to go through
a place called The Burnout
where there are no trees for
a long while. When we finally came back into shade we
were thirsty and almost out
of water. We came to a small
stream of water and filled our
water bottles there and all
took a good drink. We finally
arrived at the lake. We caught
trout and made them over the
fire. Then we just rested in
the shade. Then we went back
to camp and ate supper and
sat around the fire talking.

The Friendly Betta Fish
By Quinn Shilling
6th Grade Westphalia
Mrs. Schafer
Honorable Mention
Im a betta fish named
Coral. I am a beautiful betta
with flush pink and a gray
body. Right now I am in a pet
shop getting stared at by a
little girl. She was very tiny
and had a pink bow in her
brown hair. The girl, as her
mom called Violet, was saying I want this one mommy!
Suddenly I felt my dish move
and the water and it was going
crazy! Finally her mom put me
down on the counter where
the worker scanned on my lid.
Violets mom paid for me and I
went outside for the first time!
It was very bright and the cars
were very shiny. We got into
one of the little cars and drove
to Violets house. She lives in
an apartment at the edge of
the city. They put in a nice
tank with lots of plants and
hiding places! I felt very safe
in my little home. One day
Violet came back from the pet
store and brought me a friend!
Her name was Ruby. She had
red fans on a black body. We
quickly became friends and
played a lot together. One day
we played hide and seek and I
was it to find her. She is a very
good hider so it took me a long
time to find her! When I found
her she was crying! I asked
her what was wrong and she
said that I was the best friend
ever! They were happy tears!
