Shortly after 3:30 p.m. that day, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office received a report of an alleged shooting at a residence at 15580 L. Rd. on the Prairie Band Potawatomi Reservation west of Mayetta. According to county records, the home is owned by Linda Bailey. Sheriff Morse reported that a car occupied by three females drove into the driveway of the home. The female victim was reportedly standing outside the vehicle in the driveway when Lance Malone Bailey, 18, of Mayetta allegedly opened fire with a rifle, striking the victim twice.

    ImageFoulston not foundSiefkin or LLPtype Logo unknown Image not found or type unknown NEWSLETTERS KANSAS LEGISLATIVE INSIGHTS NEWSLETTER | JANUARY 26, 2018 A CLOSE CALL Vice President Mike Pence, fresh from his state visit to Israel, arrived back in Washington, D.C. just in time to break two tie votes on the U.S. Senate floor Wednesday relating to Governor Brownback’s confirmation as the U.S. Ambassador for International Religious Freedom. The first tie vote (49-49) was procedural, while the second tie (again 49-49) was on the actual confirmation motion. Gaining confirmation had been an unusually difficult challenge for the governor as all Senate Democrats opposed his appointment, and health problems had kept a couple of the Republican senators from always being present during the past month. Although a specific date has not been set for Brownback to commence his new post, he has announced he will resign as governor effective at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 31 and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer will be sworn in as governor in the same hour. AND COLYER MAKES FIVE When he is sworn in next week, Dr. Jeff Colyer will become the fifth Kansas Lt. Governor to ascend to the governorship upon the resignation of the sitting governor. Nehemiah Green (1868), Fred Hagaman (1950) and John McCuish (1957) did so and each served only a few days or a couple of weeks. However, if Colyer finishes Brownback’s term next January, he will then have served nearly a year as a non- elected governor. The only non-elected governor to serve a longer period of time (twenty months) was Lt.

    Kansas State Council of SHRM, Inc. 825 S. Kansas, Suite 502 • Topeka, KS 66612 (888) 332-6248 • [email protected] January 12, 2018 Legislative Update The 2018 Kansas Legislative Session commenced on Monday, January 8. Opening day was brief with only a quick gaveling in to begin the session before adjourning. The 2018 session was expected to be relatively quiet following last year’s fight over the budget that included a massive tax increase to close the $350 million dollar shortfall and put more money towards education. However, an October ruling by the Kansas Supreme Court stated that the increased funding passed in 2017 failed to meet the Adequacy portion of the Rose Standards for measuring achievement and that more money would have to be spent. This resulted in a series of interim committee meetings and cast a shadow over the upcoming session. The largest issue that must be decided this session is how the Legislature responds to the Supreme Court ruling and, if more money is to be spent, how much more and where will it come from. On Tuesday, Governor Brownback gave his final State of the State address. Governor Brownback was re-nominated for the position of Ambassador for Religious Freedom on Monday, January 8th by President Trump and is expected to be confirmed to the post in the coming months. After he is confirmed, he will resign as Governor and hand over the reins to current Lieutenant Governor Jeff Colyer. Governor Brownback’s speech was largely a reflection on his hopes for the future of the state and a listing of strides made in several areas including a continued reduction of the unemployment rate and the dramatic increase in wind energy over the last few years.

Trump made the extraordinary move Monday in response to calls from his allies in Congress who say they believe the Russia investigation was tainted by anti-Trump bias within the ranks of the FBI and the Justice Department.
