'They're important because I think it's for the voter to be able to see and hear a representative is a lot better than just reading it. You get a personality, you get the grammar, you get everything. You get the whole person,' said Lucia Krupicz, treasurer for the Erie County League of Women Voters.

Jun. 12—Rallies and protests are taking place across the nation on Flag Day, June 14. Two "No Kings" rallies will take place in the Golden Belt. The Pawnee County Democratic Committee will sponsor a "No Kings" rally from 10 a.m. to noon next Saturday, June 14, at the Pawnee County Courthouse in Larned. Organizers said they will have a peaceful rally on the sidewalk in front of the courthouse. In Great Bend, the Barton County chapters of the League of Women Voters and Women for Kansas will sponsor a "Pro Democracy No Kings" demonstration rally from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the courthouse band shell. There will be speakers and live music. Participants are welcome to bring signs, flags, drums, lawn chairs and water. After the rally, they will march in protest on the courthouse square. Questions may be emailed to w4kgreatbend@ Pam Martin, chapter leader for Women for Kansas — Barton County, said both her group and the League of Women Voters are non-partisan and are protesting on an issue, not a candidate. "What we are emphasizing is, this is a nonpartisan issue," she said. "We welcome Democrats, Republicans and Independents — anyone that is concerned with the consolidation of power in the Executive Branch. This is going to be a celebration of our democratic republic that we hope to retain." That should concern everyone, she said. Martin said she hopes to see plenty of U.S. flags at the rally. "The flag belongs to us all." Janice Walker, president of the League of Women Voters — Barton County, said the two organizations teamed up "to continue to give a voice to the concerns people have regarding the impact of the various cuts this administration has made and how they can affect communities. "We want this to be peaceful, non-violent and full of good energy, as we encourage rally-goers to share their patriotic enthusiasm." Larned's rally Jaccques Molleker, chairperson for the Pawnee County Democratic Committee, will speak in Larned. His focus will be the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and exactly where the powers of government fall within the Constitution — what branch has what power. Committee members are making signs and he hopes there can also be someone who can speak from the viewpoint of agriculture and what impact tariffs have on this region. "Our rally is based on defense of the Constitution of the United States of America," he said. The "No Kings" title recognizes that "all public officials, when they are sworn in, take an oath to defend the Constitution." The Pawnee County Democratic Committee has been growing over the last four to six years and its members want to actively demonstrate what their beliefs are, he said. "Not everybody in western Kansas has the same beliefs about everything. We just want to be heard." Nationwide, No Kings Day on June 14 is described as a day of action and mobilization against the Trump administration and in support of democracy and the U.S. Constitution. There are at least a dozen No Kings protests organized in Kansas communities from Arkansas City to Wichita. Websites and list some of the locations. June 14 is also Flag Day, the 250th anniversary of the Army and the 79th birthday of President Donald Trump. The U.S. Army's Birthday Festival parade and celebration will take place at 5:30 p.m. local time on Constitution Ave. NW between 15th Street and 23rd Street in Washington, D.C.

Ohio bill would give counties the power to cut property taxes
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A new Ohio proposal would give counties the authority to lower property taxes if they determine the amount collected is more than needed. Every county in the state has a budget commission, made up of the county auditor, treasurer and prosecutor, which is tasked with overseeing the taxation process for local governments. As Fort Rapids sale looms, Columbus church eyes plan to redevelop waterpark House Bill 309, introduced by David Thomas (R-Jefferson) in May, would require the panels to review the budgets of taxing authorities annually. If a local government is collecting more money than a public entity — such as a school or law enforcement agency — needs, the legislation gives budget commissions the power to suspend or reduce tax rates. 'If the local government doesn't actually need the full amount of that revenue, or if they're providing the service for less, or can, why should the taxpayers still be charged a much higher tax rate?' Thomas said. Christopher Galloway, the Lake County auditor, testified in support of the bill at its first hearing. He said county prosecutors' different interpretations of legal precedents have resulted in budget commissions' responsibilities being unclear and varying across counties. Galloway claimed that while the Lake County budget commission has 'been a rubber stamp' on tax budgets for decades due to its prosecutors' legal opinions, its neighboring county of Geauga rolls back rates when an entity's budget does not require the full amount of taxes. He said he wants all 88 counties to have that ability. Chillicothe paper mill will close in August after stating it would remain open 'HB309 won't be talked about around kitchen tables like a statewide initiative to eliminate property taxes, but it is in fact a REAL and effective means of controlling property taxes in the State of Ohio,' he said in written testimony. The legislation comes as many Ohioans are expressing frustrations with the costs of property taxes, including a group of citizens who recently started collecting signatures to amend Ohio's constitution and eliminate property taxes altogether. 'Clearly, our taxpayers are telling us across Ohio that the current status quo is not working,' Thomas said. However, not everyone is in support of the bill, with some claiming it is an attempt to undermine the will of voters. The nonprofit League of Women Voters is among those who have criticized the legislation. 'House Bill 309 is just another example of this gerrymandered state legislature's effort to take power away from local governments and voters,' a spokesperson said in a statement. 'Slowly but surely, corrupt politicians in the Ohio Statehouse are trying to end local control and reduce the rights of Ohio citizens. What Ohioans need are real solutions to real problems, not this.' Dispensary reacts to Ohio marijuana limit changes Thomas disagreed with such concerns, stating if the legislation passed, voters would still have the 'full authority and say over the services they want.' The provision has also been folded into a larger property tax relief overhaul, House Bill 335, which combines multiple bills and would deliver $3.5 billion in property tax relief, according to Thomas. House Bill 309's second hearing will take place on Wednesday, when opponents of the measure will have the chance to testify. House Bill 335 was introduced last week and awaits its first hearing.
