TOPEKA — The Kansas Legislature’s top Democrats are predicting that Republican lawmakers will try to extend a new law for funding public schools that’s been criticized by many educators. Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka and House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs of Kansas City said Sunday that they believe the Legislature’s GOP majorities won’t be able to pass another school funding law this year. The Legislature last year junked a per-pupil formula for distributing state aid to school districts, replacing it with “block grants.” The new law expires in July 2017, but Hensley and Burroughs predicted Republicans will try to extend…

HOUSTON (AP) –After 22 years without a playoff victory, the Kansas City Chiefs were determined not to give up the lead this time.

They were especially cognizant of not letting up after blowing a 28-point lead in a loss to the Colts in their last playoff appearance in 2013. “What happened to us a couple years ago,…

NORMAN, Okla. (AP)– Buddy Hield and No. 2 Oklahoma bounced back from their difficult loss to Kansas with an impressive shooting performance against Kansas State. Hield scored 31 points to lead the second-ranked Sooners to an 86-76 victory over the Wildcats on Saturday. Hield followed his 46-point effort in Monday’s triple-overtime loss to the top-ranked Jayhawks by making 11 of 14 shots, including 6 of 8 3-pointers. “Everything I shoot now, I just feel like, is going in,” Hield said.

The Kansas Court of Appeals has reversed and remanded with directions in a two year old Geary County case. The STATE OF KANSAS v. LOAN TRAN case involves Tran appealing the district court’s denial of her oral motion to withdraw her plea.

On January 30, 2014, the State charged Tran with one count of possession of methamphetamine and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. The State later amended its complaint, charging Tran with two counts of possession of methamphetamine and…
TOPEKA — A Shawnee County judge quickly dismissed a civil action to remove a Topeka city councilman charged with child abuse from the council. But prosecutors say they will refile the action later. In a hearing Friday, Judge Franklin Theis dismissed the ouster effort against Jonathan Robert Schumm.

But prosecutors said they would refile the civil action after the criminal case against Schumm is resolved. Schumm and his wife, Allison Nicole Schumm, are charged with one criminal count each of aggravated battery and four counts of endangering…
