Kansas House Minority Leader Paul Davis made a stop in Manhattan to talk about some issues that have been strong in the legislature.
One topic that Davis was pleased to announce was that within the Kansas State budget, funding for the arts has been reinstated.
“I think that really is an acknowledgement that a mistake was made and I am pleased that we’ve reinstated that funding,” said Davis.
Davis also brought up the issue of redistricting and how because of that the Kansas House of Representatives will have a lot of new people either due to retirements or the fact that more seats have been created. But, no matter how many new people, Davis hopes that they will continue to work towards making good choices for Kansas.
“My hope is that we can try to elect some more people that are interesting in creating more jobs and making sure our schools are top quality and will also pay attention to what I think is the most significatn tax issue and that is the property tax issue,” Davis said.
