LETTER: Legislative process
To the editor:
It is most important to respond to the letter published in the May 1 edition from Terry Rogers. Ms. Rogers spent considerable time outlining the Kansas legislative process and how to find legislative details, clearly to contrast the performance of Rep. Pat Proctor (R) and Sen. Jeff Pitman (D). This was to imply that there was no work completed, or effort offered, by Sen. Pittman to serve his constituents or Kansans.
To really discover the truth, as Terry Rogers suggests, it is imperative that you understand that Republicans hold a majority in both the House and Senate in Kansas. They are in leadership of both chambers. Thus, they completely control the calendars in all House and Senate committees where legislation is introduced, heard and acted upon to send to the Senate floor for action.
