This people want more power to the people

The four members of the Kansas House of Representatives who voted Nay (did not support) on Senate Bill 104 (granting the Shawnee County Board of County Commissioners discretion to create a citizens commission on local government) during its emergency final action on March 19, 2025, were:

• Rep. Charlotte Esau
• Rep. Ricky James
• Rep. Bill Rhiley
• Rep. Kevin Schwertfeger

The bill passed the House by a vote of 119 Yea to 4 Nay (with 2 absent and not voting). It later received gubernatorial approval and became law.

For full context on the roll call, including all Yea voters and those absent, refer to the official Kansas Legislature vote record.

Don't disagree Henry here's a replied to all if it was up to me I'd dissolve the whole board, make all expenditures and budget go through the city council. I'm not saying that's a better way. At least we would have elected officials that are handling tax dollars with transparency and I'm not saying that would be better but it's better than MTA handling it and creating lawsuits with people's tax dollars.

I wouldn't run a Bill but I sure would cosign on it.

Thank you for your email.
