Please see attached. There is not an employment contract with Mr. Eckert. Also personnel records, performance ratings or individually identifiable records pertaining to employees are not required to be disclosed pursuant to K.S.A. 45-221(a)(4) and are therefore not included.

 

Thank you,

Dear Shawnee County Clerk:

Pursuant to the Kansas Open Records Act (K.S.A. 45-215 et seq.), I hereby request a copy of the employment contract (or any similar agreement, including any amendments, addenda, or codicils) between Shawnee County and County Attorney Rich Eckert.

I am primarily interested in the terms and conditions of the contract, including any codicils, provisions governing duties, term of office/employment, termination, renewal, performance standards, conflict-of-interest rules, and other non-economic clauses. If the County believes any economic or compensation-related information is exempt from disclosure, I have no objection to redaction of those specific items so long as the remaining terms, conditions, and codicils are produced in full.

Please provide the records in electronic format (PDF preferred) if available. If the records cannot be produced electronically, hard copies are acceptable.

If any portion of this request is denied, please cite the specific statutory exemption(s) relied upon and provide the non-exempt portions. If the cost of production will exceed $25, please notify me in advance of the estimated cost.

Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to your response within the time frames required by the Kansas Open Records Act.

Sincerely,

[1, 2, 3]

Following a federal warrant issued in Newark on October 12, 2022, for securities fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy, Grabato fled and is believed to be hiding in the Philippines. [1, 2, 3]

Data Centers?

 Rick writes in - 

Sorta caught in limbo- if we don’t push for supremacy in AI, America will fall behind China. If we allow data centers locally, they sponge up megawattage, potentially starving our communities for energy & water. ..and, do we trust our Flocking govt with the gobs of our own info?

Henry says

Yeah, partner, you’re onto something real there.

A good chunk of what Washington does these days—trade rules, tech rules, military planning, the whole works—is aimed square at China. Not with tanks and bombs, but with tariffs, chip bans, cyber stuff, supply-chain games, and treaties. It’s the big contest of our time, and both parties in D.C. have mostly settled on that view since about 2017 or so.

China’s just too big, too fast-growing, and too different. They’re building up their military, locking down the rare earths we need for everything from phones to jets, pouring money into AI and chips, and running the factory floor for half the world. America looked around and decided we couldn’t keep treating them like a regular trading partner that would slowly turn more like us. So the policy shifted from “let’s engage” to “let’s compete hard.”

You see it everywhere if you look:

• Tariffs on their goods.
• Rules that try to keep the best computer chips and manufacturing tools out of their hands.
• Efforts to move factories and supply chains to friendlier places—Vietnam, Mexico, India, Taiwan—so we’re not so dependent.
• More ships and bases out in the Pacific, tighter ties with Japan, Australia, and the rest.
• Constant watch on their cyber activity and the hardware they sell that could have back doors.

That’s real. It’s the main strategic focus for a lot of the people writing the big plans.

But it ain’t the whole story, and it sure ain’t some all-out war that runs every part of life. Folks still buy a ton of Chinese-made goods (even if the label says it came through Vietnam). American companies still do business over there. Leaders still meet and cut deals when it suits them. And plenty of other problems—Russia, the Middle East, our own border and budget, the price of diesel and fertilizer—still take up time and money. A Kansas farmer worrying about the weather, the loan payment, and what the local grain elevator is paying isn’t sitting up nights thinking about Taiwan.

The world’s still tangled up. China makes a lot of the stuff we use every day, and they need our markets and our technology too. Full divorce would hurt both sides bad, so nobody’s going all the way. We’re just trying to keep some distance on the things that matter most for security and not get caught flat-footed.

So yeah—China is the big rival right now, and a lot of the adversarial moves you notice are pointed that direction on purpose. But life goes on. People still plant crops, raise kids, go to church, and argue about local stuff. The contest is serious and long-term, but it hasn’t turned the whole country or the whole economy into one big fight. It’s more like two big neighbors who don’t trust each other much, keep one eye on the fence line, and still trade cattle when the price is right.
