To the editor:
Please tell our state legislators to vote against Kansas House Bill 2119. The bill could be brought for a vote at any time.
The Koch supported political propaganda platforms are lobbying for HB 2119. The bill will provide 45% of public-school students the option to use state tax collections to pay for attending private school. Our local state legislators were backed by Koch political platforms. The Koch political machine is very good at not misspending its money, which means our local legislators will most likely vote for HB 2119 unless enough local voters tell our legislators that they will not vote to reelect them if they do.
