Today's KC Star describes an effort by Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor to investigate alleged violations of the KS open meetings act by the governor and Republican legislators during "dinners". Prediction: nothing will happen but those involved will be chastened to be more careful during the dinner chitchat, especially when they have a quorum of legislators. It may seem an unreasonable law especially by those of us who have been participants on the rubber chicken circuit. But that is the point, this isn't business, it is government which has a separate set of laws which are not optional. So despite the inconvenience, the so called Sunshine Laws must be complied with...something lost at times at the local level. It's not a club, not a business, it's government

The Local Level group is above the law, don't you know? Let's see, they hire the Chief and city attorney, Ironsides. Hooterville is immune to following the rules. Any spare trucks I can buy on the side? It's just too much to ask to do things the way us voters have set the rules.
Come on Mike, get real already!
