A story has been written about lobbyists paying for Missouri and Kansas politicians to get into big Chiefs games. Lastly, Mike Brown has been proposed as a potential leader and an article is in need of being written on who paid for Lucas' trip to the Super Bowl.

1624201465806958595 | @jonshorman That's a great statement. Now, I wish it Kansas legislators would apply the same logic to marijuana being 100% illegal in Kansas while the states around us take in millions in taxes. Hell, Missouri took in $12.4 million in their FIRST WEEK of it being legal. | 15 |
