Sen. Kenny Titus believes the Kansas Legislature recently expanded police surveillance without doing enough to protect Kansans from unreasonable searches. He is eyeing potential changes to state law to rein that power back in. Titus’ concerns come from a new state law that protects utility companies from lawsuits if they allow police to put surveillance equipment on utility poles. The law did not expand law enforcement’s ability to add the cameras, but it shielded pole owners from lawsuits.

Sen. Tory Marie Blew, a Great Bend Republican, signed up for a child care waiting list in 2020. Blew wasn’t even pregnant at the time. But she knew how hard it was to find child care. Four years later, the child care spot finally came open. Thankfully for Blew, it took her longer to have a child than she suspected. But not every family can linger four years on a waitlist.
