As you'll recall, my legislation to authorize construction of a new Veterans' Home in Northeast Kansas was blocked by the Chair for the House Social Services Budget Committee earlier this week.
I am happy to report that Senator Tom Hawk has introduced a companion bill to House Bill 2610 in the Kansas Senate so that this important legislation may proceed without political games.
Please take a moment to thank Senator Tom Hawk (Email) for supporting Kansas Veterans.
I will report a bill number and hearing dates for this legislation soon, so please stay tuned. If you'd like to receive my legislative updates, including updates about the Veterans' Home legislation, please sign-up to receive updates on my website.
