After voters narrowly rejected regulations amendment, top Republicans want to try again

After Kansas voters narrowly rejected a proposed constitutional amendment last month, top Republican lawmakers want to try again on a so-called legislative veto of executive branch regulations.

"It was still close and I think you've got to think we're going to bring it back and we're going to try it again," said House Speaker Dan Hawkins, R-Wichita.

The amendment question was decided by 8,645 votes — a margin of less than 1% — making it the closest statewide race.

"Hopefully the next time we'll do a better job of communicating exactly why it's needed," Hawkins said. "We have many instances why it was needed and how it could be used. I told people, listen, if this passes, we hope that we don't have to use it. We hope that brings the agencies to the table to where we can work with them to get things done right according to statute and not change the intent of statute."

2. They just don't give it up...

they just keep on until they wear you down. Voters say "No!"? Voters are stupid! We'll just have to "explain" it to them in a more simple way, of course... and keep on dumbing it down for them until they give us the answer we want.

I love that phrase "... if this passes, we hope that we don't have to use it..." While we voted it down because we could see all the reasons they would WANT to use it. And THAT's why we didn't want to give them that power! We saw the end run around the abortion rights issue, among other rights too many to list. And still, we don't even have medical MJ, even while those of us who are chronic pain patients are made to jump through even more egregious hoops to get our legal meds to make it through each day. Yet they want more power over us?

I for one, will never vote to give it to them. Not one law about me, without me. This may be a red damn state. But on some things, my democratic voice will be heard, by dog!

3. Why Should I Believe Them?

If they hope they never have to use such a statute, then why do they need to bring it up in the first place? There's nothing stopping them from sitting down at the table and working things out in a bi-partisan manner. Unfortunately, they still think that bi-partisan means the Rs dictate and the Ds acquiesce.

4. From the Yahoo article......

"Republican lawmakers want to try again on a so-called legislative veto of executive branch regulations."

Figured it was the "Let's tie the Governor's hands because she's a Democrat" bill. In a State as red as
Kansas to tell R. lawmakers NO to their wet dreams about power over Gov. Kelly and abortion rights,
person would think they would start listening to the voters, apparently they're not.
Maybe we can turn KS purple.
