About
I have researched political contributions and tried to get the press to report them, only to be ignored. I have written letters to the editor about matters about which I had first-hand knowledge, only to be ignored by the press. I have sent stories suggestions to a local TV station (KCTV5 to be exact) only to be told that if they didn’t find the story, they didn’t want the story!
This site is intended to expose facts and stories about Kansas government and politics that the Kansas press ignores or minimally reports. You can lead the press to a story, but you can’t make them report. You can write a letter to editors, but you can’t make them print it. The Kansas press simply refuses to report some information that would be worthy of public discussion, if the information were only published. The press should not have a political agenda. The press should not suppress or hide stories. The press should try harder to report stories accurately. My frustration with the low standards of the press, and their lack of investigative research, is my motivation for this site.
I am a 5th-generation Kansans, have a technical background, and have worked on various research and development projects and positions for about three decades.
