  • Brownback Picks Jacob Laturner As New State Treasurer Body
    Page 1 of 2 Brownback picks Jacob LaTurner as new state treasurer Brownback picks Jacob LaTurner as new state treasurer The Wichita Eagle (Kansas) April 18, 2017 Tuesday Copyright 2017 The Wichita Eagle All Rights Reserved Section: politics_government Length: 580 words Byline: Jonathan Shorman The Wichita Eagle Dateline: TOPEKA Body Sen. Jacob LaTurner of Pittsburg will be the new state treasurer, replacing Ron Estes, who won the 4th District congressional special election last week. In picking LaTurner, Gov. Sam Brownback chose someone who has been a reliably conservative vote in the Legislature. This session, LaTurner has sided with the governor on taxes and Medicaid. LaTurner's departure could alter the dynamics of the Senate, depending on who replaces him. Republican leaders in LaTurner's district will gather in the coming days to choose his successor. LaTurner will also be among the youngest statewide officials in Kansas at 29. "What I commit to Kansans is I'm going to surround myself with wonderful people and work very hard and Kansans are going to be able to receive quality services," LaTurner said. LaTurner called the position "humbling and exciting." He said he plans to run for a full term in 2018. The state treasurer manages a college savings program, runs an effort to return unclaimed property and provides general administrative oversight of state finances. The position typically attracts little controversy. While the state treasurer is elected, the governor has the power to appoint a new treasurer if the position is vacated. "I know Jake to be a fine man, a skilled public servant and a fiercely loyal Kansan," Brownback said.

  • Aow 2021 14 No Voter Fraud
    1. Mark your confusion. 2. Show evidence of a close reading. 3. Write a 1+ page reflection. The Times Called Officials in Every State: No Evidence of Voter Fraud The president and his allies have baselessly claimed that rampant voter fraud stole victory from him. Officials contacted by The Times said that there were no irregularities that affected the outcome. Source: Nick Corasanti, Reid J. Epstein and Jim Rutenberg, New York Times, November 12, 2020 PHILADELPHIA — Election officials in dozens of states representing both political parties said that there was no evidence that fraud or other irregularities played a role in the outcome of the presidential race, amounting to a forceful rebuke of President Trump’s portrait of a fraudulent election. Over the last several days, the president, members of his administration, congressional Republicans and right wing allies have put forth the false claim that the election was stolen from Mr. Trump and have refused to accept results that showed Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the winner. But top election officials across the country said in interviews and statements that the process had been a remarkable success despite record turnout and the complications of a dangerous pandemic. “There’s a great human capacity for inventing things that aren’t true about elections,” said Frank LaRose, a Republican who serves as Ohio’s secretary of state. “The conspiracy theories and rumors and all those things run rampant. For some reason, elections breed that type of mythology.” “Kansas did not experience any widespread, systematic issues with voter fraud, intimidation, irregularities or voting problems,” a spokeswoman for Scott Schwab, the Republican secretary of state in Kansas, said in an email Tuesday.

MERRILL SECRETARY OF STATE October 2, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell 317 Russell S.O.B. Washington, DC 20510 Dear Majority Leader McConnell: Thank you for your swift action to hold hearings and to make certain that each Senator has the opportunity to consider the President’s nomination to fill the open seat on the Supreme Court of the United States. It is of utmost importance that the Supreme Court has a full nine-member court before Election Day on November 3, 2020. Maintaining the integrity and credibility of our elections is of paramount significance to each of us as our state’s respective chief election official. Americans must be able to exercise their constitutional right to vote with confidence, knowing their ballot will be counted for the candidate of their choice. In the case an election issue is challenged in court, America cannot afford a tie vote. We must be able to report election results in a timely, secure, and efficient manner as we have done before. The Honorable Amy Coney Barrett is an outstanding nominee for consideration for a vacancy on the Supreme Court of the United States. She brings with her an unblemished record and extensive experience as a litigator and distinguished professor of law at the University of Notre Dame. Her philosophy and tried and true beliefs of upholding the constitution and the laws of our nation as written make her an excellent choice for our nation’s highest court.

(FHLB) We owe them $3,000,000 now and have used FHLB for borrowing for several years. We have $459,600 in stock of FHLB. We are a small community bank and count on them for our liquidity. Our total assets are only about $95 million. This letter is in response to the FDIC proposed rule changes that could raise our FDIC premiums by counting FHLB advances as volatile liabilities and allow FDIC to charge a higher premium to FDIC insured banks that have significant amounts of secured liabilities. We oppose these changes. Congress chartered FHLB to provide a source of long term liquidity to FHLBank Members. The FHLB of Topeka is a stable, reliable source of funds and the availability of it are most important to us. If you adopt these changes and raise your FDIC assessments to us it would be harmful to us.
