Dear Editor,
The public is invited to attend the next meeting of the Central Kansas 9.12 Coalition on Thursday, at 7 p.m. The meeting is being held at the Highland Hotel and Convention Center.
The featured speaker at this meeting will be Ken Cannon, Reform Party Candidate for governor.
According to Mr. Cannon’s web-site some of his beliefs are; term limits for all elected office, balanced budget for government, no amendments or earmarks attached to bills, our tax system should be fair, and he supports clean coal energy, nuclear and wind energy.
If you have questions about the Coalition I can be contacted by phone at 620-797-6202 or by e-mail at kansas912@cox.net.
Kyle Radenberg,
South Homestead Township

scales of justice
Sometimes, when law enforcement agencies announce someone has been arrested or charged with a crime, they mention that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty. This principle places the burden of proof on the prosecution to show that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s an important reminder because sometimes a person is arrested but never formally charged or a different charge than originally reported is filed. Other times, the case goes to court and the person is found not guilty. Still other times, the charges are filed but the case never goes to court because the case is dropped.
