by the Kansas authorities and gov't. The Kansas legislature and Gov should be ashamed of themselves for kicking people down who are already down and out and have no other means than to ask for help in order to feed their families. Jeezus. Leave them with some dignity and pride, for chrissakes! It isn't as if they asked to live this kind of life.

Kansans need to elect pols who care about THEM, rather than the wealthy who appear to delight in seeing people shamed and groveling.
