The Legislature has made it past “Turnaround Day” and that’s a relatively big deal.
Turnaround is the process of getting bills from most House and Senate committees approved and sent across the Statehouse rotunda to the opposite chamber.
The first month and a half of the session has been…distracting comes to mind.
We’ve seen the debates over carrying guns, over teacher contract negotiations and abortion procedures, and they have produced lots of headlines and stories to read. Those issues are important to a lot of Kansans to be sure, but so far, likely because of those issues and the separate deadlines for appropriations bills, we’ve learned very little about how this state is going to be operated for the next two years.
