Giving political money is not in itself bad, but shouldn't there be public dislosure of any contributions at the time of the appointment so they public can decide for themselves? For example, why didn't someone (perhaps the press?) tell the public that soon-to-be Kansas Supreme Court Justice Rosen's wife gave NINE contributions to Sebelius at the time Judge Rosen was deciding if Sebelius' closed meetings were legal ( see http://www.kansasmeadowlark.com/2003/11-01.htm )? How did the press miss that story as Rosen became the fifth Democrat, against two Republicans, on the Kansas Suprme Court when Kansas only has 27% Democrats ( http://www.kansasmeadowlark.com/2005/07-22.htm )?

Let’s not forget that political appointments are political. Contributing to a political candidate does not cause one to lose their abilities.

Another close examination of a POTENTIAL speck in the Democratic govenor’s eye while ignoring the logs falling on the heads of the constitutents of our so-called Republican Senators and Congressmen.

Real nice . . .

Let me guess. None of the Board members are from Wichita and they are not going to pick one from here to replace the open seat either.
