Education, finance not what they seem We have read with interest over the past few months as mis- information has been provided on the governor and Legisla- ture’s education and fiscal record. As chairs of the House and Senate budget committees, we would like to address a few of these false claims. Claim: Gov. Brownback made the “largest cut to schools in state history.” Fact: In the previous administration, the school budget was propped up by $200 million of federal stimulus money. That federal money went away in Gov. Brownback’s first budget, but he has increased state money by over $270 million since that time. As a result, Kansas spends more now per student than ever before on K-12 students. Even when taking the in- creased investment to the Kansas Public Employees Retire- ment System out of the equation, Kansas still spends more per student than ever before. Claim: The Kansas economy is lagging behind the nation. Fact: The income tax cuts were intended to stimulate eco- nomic growth, primarily through cutting the income tax for small businesses to zero, as they employ the overwhelming majority of Kansans. The cuts have had a positive effect on Supermarkets seek big spenders small businesses.

Bidding Quiz 1. Two diamonds. It is not necessary or desir- able to jump to three clubs to indicate long clubs and a better-than-minimum opening bid. The fact that you bid clubs followed by diamonds identi- fies two features of your hand. One is that your club length is greater than your diamond length, since with equal length in both suits you would bid diamonds first. The other is that you have better than a minimum opening bid (usually 16 points or more in high cards). This is in accor- dance with the general rule that bidding a new suit on the two-level that ranks higher than the suit you opened with (commonly called a re- verse) shows extra strength. Many partnerships play that a reverse is forc- Todd the Dinosaur • Patrick Roberts ing for one round. This should be discussed with any regular partner. 2. Partner has at least 13 points in high cards and distribution, and his shape is likely to be ei- ther 1-5-4-3 or 0-5-5-3. He has a game or slam in mind – you can’t tell which – but all you’re expected to do at this stage is to state a preference as to where you’d like to play the contract. Presumably, partner will know what to do after he hears your response to three clubs. 3. Two diamonds. Granted that you strongly prefer spades to diamonds, the fact remains that the better trump suit might prove to be diamonds. Thus, if partner held: Zits • Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott you’d have an excellent chance to make six dia- monds but would probably make only four or five spades. The goal in bidding is to try to reach the best contract for the combined hands. While attempt- ing to reach it, you should try to describe your hand as accurately as possible. Here you clear- ly prefer spades to diamonds, but even so you should allow for the possibility that partner might have much better support for diamonds than for spades. Naturally, you plan to rebid spades at your next turn if partner gives you the opportu- nity. © 2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.
