  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

I am honored to testify on behalf of Kansas as the Adjutant General and Director of Kansas Division of Emergency Management and Kansas Homeland Security. MITIGATION EFFORTS IN KANSAS A 2018 study by the National Institute of Building Sciences1 found that mitigation can save $6 in future disaster cost for every $1 spent. Kansas saves more money, on average, than any other state using federal Hazard Mitigation Assistance, as reported by a recent Pew Charitable Trusts study2. The data analysis showed that Kansas avoided $6.81 in potential disaster recovery costs for every $1 spent. This return on investment is attributed to the emphasis placed on reducing impacts from the two greatest hazards in Kansas: flooding and windstorms. With limited resources to contribute to disaster loss reduction, Kansas invests predominately in the mitigation of flooding and windstorms. To date, Kansas has implemented approximately $220 million in mitigation projects, netting an estimated $1.5 billion in disaster cost avoidance. Over the past two decades, Kansas has experienced 37 federally declared presidential disasters with over 90% of them consisting of windstorm damages.

  • Governor Kelly Delivers the State of the State Address Jan 16, 2020
    Governor Kelly delivers the State of the State address Jan 16, 2020 The following State of the State address is from Governor Laura Kelly: Mr. Speaker, Madam President, Madam Chief Justice, Lt. Governor Rogers, members of the Legislature, Cabinet officers, leaders of the Kansas tribes, honored guests, and fellow Kansans. It is my high honor to stand before you this evening to report on the progress of my administration, and to share my plans for the year ahead. We have much to discuss tonight. But before I begin, please welcome back the third “First Gentleman” in Kansas history, my husband, Dr. Ted Daughety. Ted still misses his garden and his darkroom, but he’s adjusting to our new home by adding some personal touches. He has taken an interest in putting the “Cedar” back in Cedar Crest with the planting of new trees. He also started a vegetable garden. He even has his own compost pile. In addition to all of that, he continues to practice medicine full time. So, Ted and I have settled into life at the Governor’s Residence. In fact, it was the backdrop for our family’s biggest news of 2019! It was a joy to watch our daughter Kathleen wed our new son-in-law, Mathias, at Cedar Crest earlier this year, with our younger daughter, Molly, standing by her sister’s side. Speaking of siblings – my sister, Kay and my brother Paul are also here tonight from Colorado. And listening in online from Richmond, Virginia, is my brother, Father Fred. As everyone here knows, it is not easy to be related to someone who serves in public office.
