Letters to the Editor
Time’s up for Huebert
    Thank you for your front-page story and editorial regarding Rep. Steve Huebert's dereliction of duty as the Kansas State 90th District representative. As a person who is elected to represent a large swath of people in and surrounding Valley Center, it is highly unfortunate that Rep. Huebert felt called to co-sponsor a bill that diminishes and marginalizes parts of his constituency.
