Medicaid expansion not a done dealSince 2014, there’s been a push by some in Kansas to expand Medicaid, and an almost equal push back by those against Medicaid expansion. While on the one hand it doesn’t make sense to not accept Federal money we as taxpayers are paying out anyway, it also makes sense to make sure Kansans know just what we’re getting when we say yes to Medicaid.March 7, 2020 -
A reasonable requestThe City of Great Bend, out of no fault of its own, finds itself in an exceptional situation, and it began with the 2019 General Election. First, the mayoral seat was successfully won by a write-in candidate Cody Schmidt, despite a full slate of candidates on the ballot. Second, the city council appointed Junior Welsch to a Ward 4 seat left vacant when Andrew Erb chose not to run for a second term and no candidates were declared.February 16, 2020

See it allWith the Barton County Fair in full swing, it’s worth your time to visit the Great Bend Expo Complex and enjoy the experience.Some folks only think of the fair as one thing, and miss at least half of the fun.There are people who only want to enjoy the carnival rides or taste unusual foods, and maybe take in a concert. Perhaps they will pop into Expo I, where the commercial exhibits are, to look for a bargain or to register for a prize.They may be perplexed by the display of livestock in Expo III or the exhibits in Expo II. To some people, the collection of home-grown vegetables, homemade treats, photography and woodworking projects may seem like a bizarre farmers market/art gallery combo where the produce isn’t for sale. Others may bypass the carnival area, assuming the fair is all about what’s inside.July 12, 2018
