Bryn Green is one step closer to opening her dream business after judge clears the way for sugaring lawsuit

A constitutional lawsuit from Bryn Green will move forward after a Shawnee County judge denied an attempt to dismiss Ms. Green's case. With the help of Kansas Justice Institute, Bryn sued the Kansas Board of Cosmetology over its irrational and arbitrary occupational licensing requirements involving sugaring. Sugaring is an ancient grooming technique that uses a mixture of sugar, lemon juice, and water to safely remove unwanted hair. In Kansas, even though sugaring is safe, the Board of Cosmetology requires 1,500 hours of instruction in expensive schools for a cosmetology license. It is estimated that 99% of the cosmetology curriculum teaches things other than sugaring. "This is a great first-round victory for Bryn and puts her one-step closer to achieving her dream of starting a sugaring business," KJI Litigation Director Sam MacRoberts said. "People shouldn't be forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on irrelevant cosmetology school, and take irrelevant examinations, just to be able to use sugar, lemon juice, and water, to safely remove unwanted hair," MacRoberts said. "It shouldn't be a crime to safely use sugaring paste to remove unwanted hair. There's no good reason for the government to force someone to attend thousands of hours of irrelevant and expensive schooling for something that is already safe," MacRoberts continued. "We're really excited we get to keep fighting for Bryn's right to be free from irrational government rules," MacRoberts said. To help support her family, Bryn wants to start a sugaring business in Hays, her hometown. Sugaring would also allow her greater flexibility in raising her son. But in Kansas, it is a crime to practice unlicensed sugaring, and Ms. Green is not licensed. Over the decades, occupational licensing has exploded even though, as President Obama's Administration determined, "most research does not find that licensing improves quality or public health and safety." Represented at no charge by Kansas Justice Institute, Bryn is suing the Kansas Board of Cosmetology to vindicate her rights, and the rights of all Kansans, to be free from unreasonable government regulations.

A Hiring Decision for Topeka's Next Police Chief Likely to Occur This Coming Week I was recently alerted to THIS CJONlINE ARTICLE about the final two candidates for Topeka's Chief of Police. Below are excerpts from Austin, TX candidate Chris Vallejo: "One of the things I'm a big proponent of is gender diversity, gender parity within police departments." Vallejo also intends to implement the 30x30 program, a program that brings police stations up to 30% female police officers by 2030. He brought the program to his current police department. As a woman, I'm personally against any hiring quota for women (or men for that matter). Allowing distractions from hiring decisions based on pure merit can actually cause the divisions which DEI seeks to solve. Quotas can raise of the question 'was this person hired for their merit or gender?' With no quotas, it's easier for women (or anyone) to earn respect. Sheriff Brian Hill submitted a letter of recommendation for lifelong Topekan Major Russell Klumpp. Respectfully let the Topeka City Council and the City Manager know your thoughts.

please circulate a copy of the study on how to enhance the expo center/event center. 

Maybe the best deal is to find a developer to master plan the whole nine yards including operating the hotel.

Thanks
