Authors, sign in!This past week, the Brownback administration in Kansas announced they would be redistributing money ear-marked for Planned Parenthood Women's and Family Planning Services (PP) to a large medical center in the eastern part of the state and also to an un-named clinic in Ellis County ... presumably their nod to all of western Kansas.
A family planning clinic in Ellis County ... really? I've lived in Ellis county for 34 years and am not aware there is any clinic but PP. Neither is anyone else aware among those I've asked, so they must not be getting many referrals.
So WHICH clinic is getting the tax payer money? Just where is this money going? Who will benefit? What services are being underwritten? Do they compare with those now offered by PP?
Checked with the Hays Daily News editor. They are trying to find out, but no one contacted, so far, seems to know. The paper is continuing to work on it. Aren't there sunshine laws in Kansas like everywhere else? Why does the probable answer not surprise me?.
Don't know about you, but I have a feeling the truth about this, when it finally surfaces, is going to be not just a little, but very outrageous.

Thanks for updating us on what's going on with Brownback in Kansas. Here in the west coast, we've been hearing more about what's been happening with Governor Walker and Wisconsinn and haven't heard much news about Brownback and Kansas. From what I've read on your blog and Diane's blog, Brownback has been enacting some horrible cuts on services that would help women. Keep blogging about it to let everyone know. And keep fighting.
