Help for small businesses, Medicaid expansion and medical marijuana were among the topics discussed this weekend during a forum featuring local legislators.
The Government Affairs Committee of the Leavenworth-Lansing Area Chamber of Commerce organized the event Saturday morning. The legislative update was conducted through the Zoom online videoconferencing service.
One state senator and four members of the Kansas House of Representatives who represent areas of Leavenworth County participated in the forum.
During the forum, legislators were asked what they are willing to do to help small businesses survive.
State Rep. David French, R-Lansing, said Kansas must reopen following the COVID-19 shutdown.
