Exit poll shows why Wichita supported school bonds, exposes trust gap | Opinion

What a difference a year and a half makes. Of all the things that happened in the Nov. 3 election, one of the most surprising, important and far-reaching results was the successful campaign for school bonds in Wichita’s USD 259. It probably hasn’t gotten the attention it deserved. Most of the public attention on election night and since has focused on the blue wave that swept across the state, unseating incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall in favor of United Methodist pastor Adam Hamilton. Pending the final count, Democrats also appear to have won the race for governor (Democrat Cindy Holscher vs. Republican Ty Masterson) and attorney general (Democrat Chris Mann vs. incumbent Republican Kris Kobach). Even against that backdrop, and with numerous Democratic upsets in Legislature races up and down the state, the school bond vote was remarkable. In February of last year, voters rejected a plan to borrow and spend $450 million for new construction of a Trades Future Ready Center and renovation of aging buildings across the district. On Nov. 3, the voters approved two ballot questions adding up to $615 million — $165 million more than the district’s original ask. And we now have some insights into why

City of Emporia points to significant rain event in September as chief cause of recent boil advisories in North Lyon County

The three-week-plus boil water advisory that was just recently rescinded for the City of Admire was not related to the city’s own water system, according to Mayor Ron Smith. In an interview with KVOE News, shortly after the advisory was rescinded late Tuesday morning, Smith stated the cause of the loss in chlorine residuals, which led to the advisory’s issuance on October 14th was reportedly related to an issue at the Emporia water treatment plant.
