    FEBRUARY 23, 2017 331 Journal of the House THIRTY-THIRD DAY HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TOPEKA, KS, Thursday, February 23, 2017, 10:00 a.m. The House met pursuant to adjournment with Speaker Ryckman in the chair. The roll was called with 125 members present. Excused later: Rep. Pittman Prayer by guest chaplain, the Reverend Jason Carle, Overland Park Presbyterian Church, and guest of Rep. Ousley: Lord, You made the land Kansas is in: a place of hills, wildflowers, wind, plains and big sky. We are here as your people, shaped by the land, shaped by our communities: small towns and farming communities, suburbs and cities. We ask for your blessing on those gathered here as they seek to craft laws and enact policies that bring good governance for this part of your creation. But we confess that we are a stiff-necked people, O God, eager to be right rather than righteous. Help us to bend our necks to the needs of our people. May the work and deliberations this day be shaped by your values: humility before You and each other, a deep passion for justice, and care for the vulnerable, the orphan, the lost. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Kessinger. 332 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE INTRODUCTION OF BILLS AND CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS The following concurrent resolution was introduced and read by title: HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION No. HCR 5011— By Representatives Parker, Bishop, Brim, Carlin, Clayton, Crum, S., Curtis, Deere, Finney, Gallagher, Gartner, Good, Highberger, Hodge, Holscher, Koesten, Kuether, Lusk, Murnan, Neighbor, Ohaebosim, Ousley, Pittman, Rooker, Stogsdill, Terrell, Trimmer, Whipple and Wolfe Moore HCR 5011 – A PROPOSITION to revise article 10 of the constitution of the state of Kansas; relating to reapportionment of congressional districts, legislative districts and state board of education member districts.

  • Kansas Chamber PAC Endorsements
    For More Information Contact: 785.357.6321 Jeff Glendening [email protected] Kansas Chamber PAC Endorsements Topeka, KS (June 28, 2010) – The Kansas Chamber PAC has released their endorsements forthe 2010 elections to the Kansas Legislature. “We are proud to endorse a group of candidates who demonstrate a pro-jobs approach to stimulating the Kansas economy and the personal leadership to form strong public policy,” said Kansas Chamber Interim President and CEO Kent Beisner. “These individuals are committed to reducing government spending and growing jobs in Kansas.” The Chamber PAC endorses exceptional lawmakers and candidates who support the tenets of free enterprise. The selection process focuses solely on the core business issues that impact the state’s economy. “Instead of cutting spending during these tough times, the legislature chose to grow the state budget by more than $200 million during the 2010 legislative session,” continued Beisner. “Kansans expect legislators to spend their money in a responsible manner, just like Kansas families and businesses must do.” “Kansas needs decision-makers in Topeka who understand that the government is funded by businesses and their employees,” concluded Beisner. The Kansas Chamber’s legislative agenda includes initiatives aimed at creating a more jobs friendly tax climate, containing healthcare costs, improving the legal climate, improving the workers compensation system and unemployment compensation system, and promoting a fair regulatory climate.

  • Journal of the House
    606 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE Journal of the House FIFTY-FIFTH DAY HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TOPEKA, KS, Wednesday, April 5, 2017, 10:00 a.m. The House met pursuant to adjournment with Speaker Ryckman in the chair. The roll was called with 125 members present. Prayer by Chaplain Brubaker: Creator God, We have noticed in the last few weeks how Spring has struggled to establish itself, warm and sunny one week, the last few days gloomy with dark skies and rain. Perhaps the same could be said about inside the chamber… one day decisions have been made that brighten their hopes, the next day, decisions made that cause some to feel as gray and gloomy as the sky. Today, Lord, I ask for discernment and clarity as they judge anew their adherence to principle, conviction, and commitment. Give them the ability to listen to one another and work cooperatively to solve the important issue of the day. Heal that which is broken— restore relationships that are separated by party lines— surprise the cynical—humble the exalted— and awaken the exhausted. In Your Name I pray, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Sloan. INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS There being no objection, the following remarks of Rep. Claeys are spread upon the Journal: It is an honor to stand here today with the principal, coaches and students from my alma mater, Sacred Heart High School in Salina. With me at the well this morning are the members of the Knights Boys Basketball team.
