In her Oct. 12, 2022 letter “Amendment proposals are out of balance,” Dee Ann Grummon inaccurately claims that Kansas’s constitutional amendment proposal, Question 1 (HCR 5014), will do nothing to benefit voters if they approve the ballot measure this November. Giving legislators the freedom to unleash the American economy by addressing outdated, costly regulations proposed by the executive branch would greatly benefit Kansans. Doing so will require streamlining the state’s administrative code already containing more than 70,000 regulations. It must and can be done. The state recently lost an additional 1,200 jobs contributing to 40 years of stagnation and out-migration, proving its urgent need for a strengthened economy.
