School myths debunked

By RICK DANLEY The Iola Register

GIRARD — Responding to the Kansas Supreme Court’s ruling last month, which found inequities in the state’s school funding system, lawmakers will convene a special legislative session on Thursday.

If they fail to agree on a palatable fix, the court could block $4 million in education funding, forcing schools to close.

It’s against this unhappy backdrop that Mark Tallman, associate executive director for advocacy for the Kansas Association of School Boards, addressed a room of about 30 — mostly school administrators and area board members — at the Greenbush learning center in Girard on Tuesday.

The talk was part of KASB’s annual barnstorming “advocacy tour” aimed at equipping school personnel, as well as the general public, with a fact-based understanding of a topic too often wrapped in rumor, bad faith and accusation.

Tallman’s lecture, “Best of Times or Worst of Times for Kansas Education,” led with the good news.

Orizon Aerostructures, which manufactures components for aircraft firms around the world, is coming to Chanute. The company also recently earned a contract to build cockpit components for the F-35 stealth fighter (shown above).

Kansas currently ranks eighth in the nation in terms of student performance when measured against a broad range of indicators, said Tallman. “Compared to the states closest to us and compared to the states like us, Kansas, on average, does better on student achievement.”

The key difference, however, explained Tallman, “is that all seven of these states spend more per pupil than Kansas,” which provides $11,702 in total per pupil revenue — a figure that includes federal, state and local sources.

CHANUTE — Orizon Aerostructures, which manufactures components for several global aircraft firms, is coming to Chanute.

The deal — projected to bring up to 150 jobs to the community — was clinched Monday when Chanute city commissioners approved an incentive package valued at $2.6 million.

Orizon will move into the former Hitchhiker plant near the Martin and Osa Johnson Airport, with plans to build its own 70,000-square-foot facility soon thereafter. Construc-

tion is expected to start later this year.

Orizon Aerostructures was previously known as Kansas City, Mo.,-based Tech Industries.

“We have parts that we have to be shipping out of Chanute before the sun sets on this year,” said Charlie Newell, chief executive officer of Tech Industries, according to the Chanute Tribune. “Chanute was the right choice for us because of its proximity to our existing facilities, the ability to See ORIZON | Page A4

County questioned about spending decisions

By BOB JOHNSON The Iola Register

Larry Walden didn’t mince words Tuesday morning when he came before Allen County commissioners.

Walden, Iola, questioned the wisdom of commissioners providing $100,000 to support the Bowlus Fine Arts Center for each of the next three fiscal years, saying it should be the responsibility of the local school district.

Walden also said commissioners should pay off the

remaining $1.5 million due for the construction of the Allen County Law Enforcement Center as well as divert $1 million for the construction of a medical arts building on the grounds of Allen County Regional Hospital.

Walden said the county has $5 million in cash, including $2.5 million in Enbridge Pipeline taxes sequestered in the current calendar year budget.

Miscounted Medicaid backlog sparks outcry TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas lawmakers are voicing frustration after the state disclosed that its backlog in unprocessed Medicaid applications is four times as large as previously thought.

The disclosure late last week that Kansas had under-counted the number of unprocessed applications by 12,000 is drawing fresh attention to the state’s electronic

eligibility system nearly a year into its troubled rollout, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. Figures showed that the backlog was declining before the state reported that its numbers were off in a letter earlier this month to the federal government.

The state is blaming the undercounting on a reporting problem from Accenture, a contractor tasked with

Heat, terrain hamper firefighting efforts

By RUBIN VIVES The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (TNS) — The battle to contain two large wildfires burning out of control above San Gabriel Valley foothill communities became something of a smoky slog Tuesday as firefighters took on the flames in rugged canyons, evacuated residents anxiously awaited word and the surrounding region endured a bad air day.

The heat wave blitzkrieg that hit the region this week with recordbreaking force eased some, but for firefighters the conditions remained brutal.

“It’s hot. It’s dry.

They’re in steep, rugged, nasty terrain,” said Mark Peebles, a spokesman for the multiagency team fighting the fires in the Angeles National Forest. “It’s extremely arduous work.”

Some of the telltale elements of a Southern California fire siege were on display. Gawkers snapping cellphone photos of flaming San Gabriel Mountains ridges, soon to be posted on Instagram. Horse owners rushing to their stables to save their beloved animals. Neighbors calmly watching smoke plumes from their yards.

More than 1,000 firefighters battled the Reservoir and Fish fires, which burned about 1.5 miles apart in the mountains above Duarte and Azusa. The blazes, which broke out Monday as temperatures hit triple digits, raged in a tinderbox region of the forest that had not burned for many years.

On Tuesday, crews began managing the fires

A DC-10 air tanker drops a load of fire retardant as the San Gabriel Complex fire continues to burn in the hills above Monrovia, Calif., Tuesday. LOS ANGELES TIMES/ROBERT GAUTHIER/TNS as a single 4,900-acre conflagration called the San Gabriel Complex, which was 10 percent contained, authorities said.

No structures had been lost as of Tuesday, authorities said. But the fires had forced the evacuation of at least 770 homes, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department.

Authorities urged residents of Monrovia and Bradbury to keep an eye on the news and to prepare to flee. John Tripp, deputy chief of the Los Angeles County Fire Department, advised residents to evacuate early if the flames got close, warning of clogged roadways if fire crews and evacuating residents used the same thoroughfares.

AS SMOKE rose from mountain ridges near the tiny town of Bradbury on Tuesday, Connie Storey sat like a sentry outside the house of a neighbor who had run

to the doctor — waiting and watching.

With the sound of fire helicopters echoing, Storey, 50, checked her phone for updates on the blaze. That’s how it had been since Monday afternoon, she said, with neighbors monitoring the fire with binoculars and news updates.

Storey — who lost her house to the 2009 Station fire that tore through the San Gabriels — grew frustrated with onlookers driving through Bradbury to photograph the fire and wildlife fleeing the flames. She said she had to warn one man who was too busy trying to get the perfect shot that he didn’t see a bear coming his way.

“It’s a three-ring circus,” she said.

The Reservoir fire was reported first, about 11 a.m. Monday, at Highway 39 in the San Gabriel Mountains, apparently ignited by a car crash that killed one person, authorities said. A vehicle went over the side of

the road and plunged to the bottom of a canyon near Morris Reservoir, Tripp said.

The Fish fire erupted more than an hour later near Brookridge and Opal Canyon roads in Duarte. The causes of both fires remain under investigation.

About three dozen people spent Monday night at a Red Cross evacuation center in Duarte, where they were given cots to sleep on, toiletries, food and plenty of bottles of water.

“It’s better than a bed and breakfast — except the beds,” quipped Merla Canoy, who spent the night.

Rafat and Manzoor Khan, who live in the Woodbluff neighborhood of Duarte, also stayed at the shelter.

Their daughter and two young grandchildren were visiting from Irvine when sheriff ’s deputies knocked on their door and told them they had to leave. They packed their medica-

tions and some photo albums.

“They said to take your important things,” Rafat Khan said. “I don’t know what things are important. Everything is important.”

By Tuesday afternoon, at least 168 horses had been relocated to the Fairplex in Pomona, evacuated from stables throughout the foothills, officials said.

Andrea Brown, a horse trainer, moved her eight horses boarded at the Encanto Equestrian Center in Duarte to the Fairplex on Monday and plans to visit them every day until they can leave.

She was still coughing from the smoke on Tuesday.

“All of them are happy and doing well,” she said. “They are my fourlegged family.”

IT WAS a dramatic scene Monday, she said.

Brown saw smoke in the air and sped to the stables. There, she grabbed her horses’ halters and

Daring flight rescues ailing worker in Antarctica WASHINGTON (AP) — A small plane left the South Pole today with a sick worker in a daring rescue mission from a remote U.S. science outpost, federal officials said.

In an international effort, a Canadian-owned Twin Otter turboprop plane started the 1,500mile flight to Rothera, a British station on the Antarctic peninsula, said Peter West, spokesman for the National Science Foundation, which runs the polar station for the United States. It’s a nine- to 10hour flight, which the crew made from Rothera

on Tuesday to get to the South Pole.

Once the sick patient and the crew — a pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer and medical worker — rest, they will then fly off Antarctica for medical attention that could not be provided on the remote continent.

West said at least one worker and possibly two — support crew employed by logistics contractor Lockheed Martin — had to be evacuated. The agency won’t identify the sick workers or their conditions, citing medical privacy.

don’t use the polar outpost from February to October because of the dangers of flying in the pitch dark and cold.

Today it was minus 75 degrees at the South Pole, according to the station’s webcam and weather gauges. The first day of winter in the Southern Hemisphere was Monday — the sun will not rise at the South Pole till the first day of spring in September.

The extreme cold affects a lot of things on planes, including fuel, which needs to be warmed before takeoff, batteries and hydraulics, West said. The Twin Otter can fly in temperatures as low as minus 103 degrees, he said.

“The air and Antarctica are unforgiving environments and punishes any slackness very

hard,” said Tim Stockings, operations director at the British Antarctic Survey in London. “If you are complacent it will bite you.”

“Things can change very quickly down there” with ice from clouds, high winds and snow, he said.

The National Science Foundation decided last week to mount the rescue operation because one staffer needed medical care that can’t be provided there. The station has a doctor, a physician’s assistant and is connected to doctors in the U.S. for consults, West said. There are 48 people — 39 men and nine women — at the station.

There have been three emergency evacuations from the AmundsenScott station since 1999.

The 1999 flight, which was done in Antarctic spring with slightly better conditions, rescued the station’s doctor, Jerri Nielsen, who had breast cancer and had been treating herself. Rescues were done in 2001 and 2003, both for gallbladder problems.

Scientists have had a station at the South Pole since 1956.

It does astronomy, physics and environmental science with telescopes, seismographs and instruments that monitor the atmosphere. The foundation runs two other science stations in Antarctica.

ran them to a clearing, where people with horse hauling trailers waited to take them away and firefighting helicopters landed right next to the animals.

“It was very intense, but I have to say that people really came together,” Brown said.

“The neighbors brought water, cooling us down, pouring water on us as we ran with the horses.”

Mark De Yulia, a driver for Atascadero-based KC Horse Transport, spent Monday night in his truck at Santa Anita Park, ready to go in case any more horses were threatened by the fire.

He was on vacation, he said, but he didn’t think about that as he spent hours hauling horses from stables in Azusa and Bradbury.

As he drove away from Rainbow Canyon Ranch, horses loaded behind him, he could see the flames shooting up the mountains near San Gabriel Canyon Road.

As the sun glowed an eerie yellow through the smoke, the horses stayed calm.

Kansas briefs Average KS farm income drops to less than $5,000 in 2015 LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Officials say Kansas’s average net farm income has plummeted from nearly $129,000 in

2014 to about $4,500 last year.

According to annual Kansas Farm Management Association data, 2015 was the lowest average level of nominal net farm income since 1985.

The Manhattan Mercury reports that the average had been more than $120,000 for several years

until 2015.

The Wichita Eagle reports that farmers generally saw extraordinary returns between 2010 and 2014 because of high crop and cattle prices, driven in part by drought. But those prices fell drastically over the last 12 to 18 months, and incomes reflect that.

SENIORS: Need Extra Cash?

Last year’s result generally means that farmers won’t have much money available to take on additional debt or incur extraordinary expenses, but they should be able to cover living and farm operating costs and pay existing debts, said Elizabeth Yeager, assistant professor of agricultural economics at Kansas State University.

“Historically, lean times are not uncommon, but given the prices we saw the last few years in net farm income, it definitely has come as a shock,” Yeager said. “They had come pretty far and probably didn’t want to be back here again.”

The data presented in the 2015 analysis came from 1,159 association member farms and ranches.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Supreme Court is giving Gov. Sam Brownback until July 11 to tell the court why it shouldn’t force him to fill a vacant district magistrate position.

The court on Tuesday ordered the governor to explain why he didn’t make the appointment in 90 days, as required by state law.

Three 26th District judges filed a petition with the court last week after Brownback announced he would wait until after the August primaries to consider filling the vacancy, which was created when Judge Tommy Webb of Haskell County announced his retirement in February.

The petition says Kansas law requires five magistrate judges to serve the six-county district.

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley says the governor has the discretion under the Kansas constitution to make the appointment when he sees fit.

Chanute driver to stand trial in death of Washburn prof GIRARD, Kan. (AP) — A Chanute man has been arraigned in the traffic death of the head of the Washburn University art department who was struck and killed while riding her bike.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that not guilty pleas were entered Monday on behalf of Todd M. Kidwell in Crawford County District Court, Girard. Kidwell is charged with reckless second-degree murder and misdemeanor counts of reckless driving and improper passing of a bicyclist.

Glenda Taylor, 60, was participating in an amateur t i m e trial when s h e was hit in June 2015.

Glenda Taylor The defense argued at the preliminary hearing that the crash happened while Kidwell was trying to avoid a head-on collision with another pickup. A pickup truck passenger testified previously that Kidwell wasn’t driving erratically before the crash.

A one-week trial has been scheduled to start Dec. 12 in Pittsburg. A pretrial hearing will be conducted Nov. 4 in Girard. The Crawford County District Court has courthouses in Girard and Pittsburg.

Crawford County District Judge Lori Bolton Fleming bound

over Kidwell, 38, on Jan. 21.

Deputy coroner and forensic pathologist Altaf Hossain said Taylor was killed with a large amount of blunt force trauma, including a laceration of the aorta in the heart and injuries to the neck. Taylor also had multiple fractures and internal injuries, the deputy coroner said.

Levi Phillips, passenger in the Kidwell pickup, testified he was looking down at his cellphone when he felt the pickup jerk to one side as Kidwell was steering to the left to avoid Taylor.

After the truck hit Taylor, the two men stopped, jumped out, ran to Taylor, and Phillips called 911 on his cellphone. Phillips denied Kidwell was driving erratically before Taylor was struck and killed. Phillips said Kidwell would have had enough room to steer around Taylor if she hadn’t inexplicably swerved to the left.

Crawford County sheriff ’s Detective Chris Hall testified that the area of impact where the pickup hit the bike was evidenced by gouge marks in the pavement, which were consistent with the damaged bicycle being dragged on the pavement. Hall testified Kansas law requires a motorist to provide at least a 3-foot cushion when passing a bicyclist and that Taylor’s body was thrown 169 feet from the point where she was struck.

Schools: Equitable funding an issue Continued from A1

sas has been flat or in decline in recent years, said Tallman, “our performance has also changed. ... It’s not that our performance has necessarily gone down, but it hasn’t increased as much as other states. ... For instance, we’re at a higher graduation rate then we were 10 years ago, but our ranking is lower. Other states have increased their graduation rates even more.”

Opponents of increased school funding sometimes use the state’s high ranking as justification for their recalcitrance: “That’s really the essence of the state’s defense,” argued Tallman. “They say ‘How can we be inadequately funded if we’re doing this well?’

“But it’s not so much about absolute cuts. It’s about not keeping up with costs. ... I think the challenge for us is to say, ‘However well we’re doing, are we doing well enough to continue to meet our needs?’”

FUNDING

While Kansas spent more than $6 billion on education in 2015 — up from $3 billion in 1999 — the state failed the simple macroeconomic test of keeping pace with inflation.

Adjusted for inflation, said Tallman, growth in Kansas education funding has been lower since 2008 than in any period since 1981.

“One thing you sometimes hear,” continued Tallman, again invoking the opposition, “is that Kansas ranks third in the country in state spending. Now, that is true in a particular sense. If you look at how much of the total state budget goes to K-12 education, Kansas does rank third. But this doesn’t tell you how much we spend per student. It only tells you how much of our state spending goes to K-12 education.”

If you increase school funding, you’re going to spend more on people — you’re going to hire more people, you’re going to pay them more. If you cut school spending, you’re going to have to cut what you pay people or the number of people you employ.

— Mark Tallman, lobbyist for the Kansas Association of School Boards

A more accurate index, Tallman claimed, is per pupil spending.

Kansas currently ranks 29th.

“We’re just trying to make the point that someone can use this data and absolutely be telling the truth, depending on how it’s phrased and the conclusions you draw from it.”

One narrow reason Kansas ranks so high, said Tallman, is because it now routes the local property tax revenue (20 mill levy), which used to remain local, through the state budget. “That change alone, while not changing the dollars, makes us rank even higher.”

There’s a point that sometimes gets lost in the economic details of the school finance debate: school funding equals people funding.

The dollars are not, in their bulk, going toward new stadiums or expensive textbooks or fancy buses. Sixty-five percent of all school funding, explained Tallman, goes to district employee salaries and benefits. More than 10 percent goes toward contract work by nondistrict employees.

“Added up, about 75 percent of all spending goes to people. If you increase school funding, you’re going to spend more on people — you’re going to hire more people, you’re going to pay them more.

If you cut school spending, you’re going to have to cut what you pay people or the number of people you employ.”

Tallman was quick to puncture another shibboleth of the opposition: It’s sometimes claimed that education spending on school personnel disproportionately benefits administrators. Not so. “Almost all growth over the past 15 years is with teachers, paraprofessionals, aides, teacher and student support. Not administration.”

EQUALITY VS. EQUITY

It’s been suggested by at least one lawmaker in recent days that Kansas take the total of what it spends on schools and provide a cut to each district based on the number of students enrolled. This would be an equal distribution of resources, of course, but not an equitable one.

“As you can imagine,” said Tallman, “there would be some big winners and some big losers. But we don’t do it that way. Why?” Because, continued Tallman, “it takes more money to educate disadvantaged children. ...

There is a very strong correlation between a district’s level of academic achievement and its poverty rate.”

There are a number schools whose students, because of their socioeconomic inheritance, are college-ready, are poised to succeed, while there are other districts that could require “triple the funding” to even come close to that level of readiness.

“It is simply harder and more expensive to

assist with our hiring and training needs, and the proven mechanical aptitude and work ethic of the people in southeast Kansas.”

The company will begin the hiring process by July 31, the Kansas City Star reported.

Matthew Godinez, executive director of the Chanute Regional Development Authority, told the Star Chanute competed against 48 other communities in the area — including Iola — to serve as Orizon’s home.

Orizon manufactures parts and subassemblies for commercial aerospace, military fixed wing, rotorcraft, missile/ ground support and general aviation manufacturers and suppliers. Its customers include Boeing Defense, GE, General Dynamics, GKN, Lockheed Martin, Lycoming and Northrop Grumman. Godinez also announced Tuesday that Orizon had won the contract to build the cockpit/pilot portions of the F-35 stealth

Chanute was the right choice for us because of its proximity to our existing facilities, the ability to assist with our hiring and training needs, and the proven mechanical aptitude and work ethic of the people in southeast Kansas.

bring low-income kids to achievement.”

This is the critical issue in school finance, stressed Tallman: “Are you giving everyone the same, which is equal, or are you trying to adjust to the differences that districts face in their students and in their local resources.”

It’s the question that will receive its fullest examination starting Thursday.

TALLMAN is cautious. He doesn’t offer predictions about the outcome of this week’s special session. But, given the past habits of the Legislature, Tallman hopes for a swift resolution.

“Frankly, the faster things move, the better. If the groundwork can be laid to get something passed early on, that’s best.

The problem comes, if it bogs down and we get stuck and neither side can get the votes, then the bidding will begin.”

The likelier timeline, however, is a more sober thing.

“So, the special session will be Thursday, then they’ll meet on Friday. Now they’re saying that they’ll break for the weekend ... then come back next week.

At that point, we are literally down to four days [before we face a potential shutdown of schools]. And we have no idea what’s going to happen, because the court ... has not given any more specific guidance on what it will mean, what schools will do, whether they’ll give lawmakers some extra time, how long they might take to review whatever the Legislature does. We just don’t know.

“I think, when the special session was called, everyone felt a sigh of relief, thinking it was probably going to get worked out. But I think now everybody is starting to realize ... nothing’s really changed yet. All those things we didn’t know about? We still don’t know about. We’ll do our best to keep you posted but, at this point, no further guidance has been released.

“With that,” concluded Tallman, with a wry smile, “hope you all have a happy Fourth of July weekend.”

MUCH OF THE debate at Monday’s Chanute City Commission meeting, according to the Tribune, focused on how the city would pay for improvements this year, including extending water and sewer infrastructure to the new plant.

The development agreement ordinance allows the city to issue general obligation bonds, the Tribune

reported. It wasn’t immediately clear if the bonds would be paid off with property tax or utility rate increases.

Orizon plans to apply for a Community Development Block Grant.

Chanute City Manager Jeff Cantrell said a worst-case scenario without the grant, would be a total city investment of about $4 to $5 million.

Part of the issue, according to the Tribune, is possible relocation of a railroad track south of the airport runway, which could cost $1.9 million.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio is expected to announce he is running for re-election to the Senate, yielding to intense pressure from party leaders determined to keep his Florida seat in GOP hands.

Rubio was to reveal his plans later today, according to a GOP official who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the official announcement.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters today that a Rubio reelection bid would be “a great outcome” that would likely mean Republicans would hang onto the seat.

McConnell had led the effort to pressure Rubio to abandon his retirement plans and run for re-election instead. Rubio had repeatedly said he planned to be a private citizen come January, and he was widely expected to enter the private sector before making another presidential bid in 2020.

But with Republicans at risk of losing their slim Senate majority in November’s elections, GOP leaders were concerned that the Republican candidates who emerged for Rubio’s seat were not up to the task of winning in a large, expensive state like Florida amid the intraparty uproar created by Donald Trump’s candidacy.

County: Spending Continued from A1

about $1 million of your $16 million budget,” he said. “You could save $160,000 in interest for the next seven years on the jail bonds,” if those were paid off.

Commissioner Tom Williams said they had considered both paying off the jail and contributing to a medical arts building when they learned of the Enbridge windfall.

“We also thought about lowering the levy,” but decided it was better to put the extra revenue in reserve for the time being.

A provision of $1 million would not in itself be enough to build a clinic. The idea is to have a building that would accommodate visiting specialists as well as be a permanent site for an anchor tenant, such as a group of physicians.

Williams pointed out a committee appointed by hospital trustees is looking into construction of a clinic. County Counselor Alan Weber said a report from the committee was due soon.

TIM CUNNINGHAM, executive director of Tri-Valley Developmental Services, came with hat in hand to ask commissioners to renew their $65,000 contribution to the agency that helps those developmentally disabled.

Cunningham blamed

cuts by the state for putting the agency in dire straits. Tri-Valley is facing a cut of $500,000 for fiscal year 2017, and that’s on top of a $1 million cut for FY 2016.

“We’ve let five employees go” and will furlough another four or five, Cunningham said.

“We’re down from 170 to 130 employees with roughly the same number of clients.”

In addition to services, the agency also provides housing for clients.

Looking ahead, Cunningham said two houses would be remodeled in Humboldt, and a third in Iola. “We’ve been stuffing them (clients) in like sardines.”

“Anyway the state can screw us over, they do,” Cunningham growled.

Tri-Valley has been in operation 31 years, with Cunningham involved for 25. Today’s financial climate is “the worst I’ve ever seen,” he said.

The aim of Tri-Valley Development Services is to give clients opportunities to live as independently as possible.

WILLIAMS resigned from the 31st Judicial Nominating Committee, citing a conflict with him being a commissioner. He suggested Iolan Ryan Sparks fill his seat, a proposal that received unanimous support.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

The big shift: Why most Kansans aren’t better off The income tax cuts of 2012 that continue to wreak havoc on the Kansas budget did not actually yield a reduction in taxes for many Kansans. Lawmakers raised other taxes and fees to partially offset the loss of income tax revenue. The net result: Wealthy Kansans still benefited, but the overall tax burden for a wide range of working Kansans went up.

The newest shift cropped up at the end of the legislative session. As a result of income tax cuts, Kansas cannot afford enough highway patrol troopers, so legislators passed a bill to raise vehicle registration fees to cover the cost of hiring more.

But that’s a small example of the shift in progress.

The following list shows the more consequential changes implemented in the attempt to compensate for income tax cuts: • Sales tax raised from 5.7 percent to 6.15 percent and then raised further to 6.5 percent; • Renters no longer eligible for homestead property tax refunds; • Food sales tax rebates limited; • Child care income tax credit, along with many

Duane Goossen Kansas Center for Economic Growth other credits, eliminated (for those who still pay income tax); • Cigarette tax raised; and • Many income tax deductions limited (for those who still pay income tax).

The chart below estimates the average net effect of all the tax changes. The figures come from the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy, which has the best model for measuring these types of changes in any state.

portion of their resources on food and other items subject to sales tax than wealthy Kansans do. Many states exempt food purchases from sales tax, or at least apply a lower rate. Not Kansas. We now have the highest sales tax rate on food in the nation.

The chart does not even count other kinds of shifts taking place. Property taxes push up as schools and local governments try to react to dwindling state resources.

Tuition rises at universities

when the state withdraws support. Future taxpayers get saddled with debt because the state borrows to pay for retirement system costs, and borrows through the highway fund to shore up the general fund.

However, even with all this shifting, Kansas remains broke. The hole created by the income tax cuts has been so significant that shifts to other tax sources have not come close to stabilizing the state’s finances.

Income tax cuts benefited the wealthiest Kansans, but without any obligation to create a job or even spend their tax savings in Kansas.

In return, the state received financial turmoil. Many Kansans now pay more to fund state government at the same time that school class sizes go up and highway maintenance gets put aside.

If you are a Kansan and do not feel like you’ve had a tax cut, that’s because you probably did not get one.

KANSANS with the lowest income have seen their tax burden go up. For middleincome Kansans, it’s been about a wash. Upper-income Kansans, especially those earning more than $500,000 annually, have come out well.

Of course, a sales tax hike takes a far bigger bite out of a small income than a large one. Lower-income Kansans spend a much higher pro-

America faces a school funding crisis

By JEFF BRYANT Tribune News Service

In many communities around the country, families with children in schools are increasingly concerned about the conditions of the schools their kids will return to in the fall. Even worse, some are worrying whether the schools will open at all.

In Chicago, home to the nation’s third-largest public school system, the district’s school chief announced that schools may not open in the fall due to a budget impasse in the state capitol.

In Kansas, Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has called a special session of the state Legislature to determine how to address a ruling from the state’s Supreme Court that calls on the state to fix school funding or risk not having its schools reopen in the fall.

In Pennsylvania, state lawmakers fell far short of Gov. Tom Wolf ’s school funding requests and left state education budgets far short of what’s needed. Due to the inadequacy of state funding, “At least 60 percent of Pennsylvania school districts plan

to raise property taxes and nearly a third expect to cut staff,” The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

State spending, which accounts for about half of most public school districts’ budgets, has been in steep decline for a number of years. A recent report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found, “Most states provide less support per student for elementary and secondary schools — in some cases, much less — than before the Great Recession,” which started around 2008.

So with states cutting school funds, tax burdens on middle-class families either have to go up at the local levels, or essential school resources — such as libraries, tech labs, nurses, counselors, and programs for arts, foreign languages, and athletics — go away.

Consequently, national perpupil spending on primary and secondary public schools has dropped for three straight years, according to the most recent federal financial data.

In the meantime, student enrollment in public schools continues to grow, with steady increases projected through

fall 2023.

A recent review of the research on the effects of school funding on school outcomes, “Does Money Matter in Education?” by Rutgers University Professor Bruce Baker, found that spending more money on education tends to benefit students “and there is scarce evidence that there are more cost-effective alternatives.”

Another review of research, “How Do You Fix Schools? Maybe Just Give Them More Money,” by Jordan Weissmann for online news outlet Slate, found that when schools get more money, they “seem to use their new funding in reasonable ways.”

And “they get results.”

Of course, more money is not a panacea, and we need wise oversight of school spending. But we elect government officials to adequately and equitably fund our children’s education, and it’s high time for them to do their jobs.

About the writer: Jeff Bryant is the director of the Education Opportunity Network and an associate fellow at Campaign for America’s Future.

Members of the Kansas Legislature are under a lot of scrutiny today as they head to Topeka for a special session that is intended to resolve a pesky school finance issue.

Over the past two weeks, they have taken harsh criticism for the way they have responded to a Kansas Supreme Court decision that declares a tiny portion of their duly passed school finance policy unconstitutional. We say tiny, because its resolution will require a minor adjustment in state law, and perhaps 1 percent more in the state’s school funding.

Already, we’re hearing about their committee meetings which center on a possible constitutional amendment, pointed mainly at what they consider a liberal, over-reaching court.

And, there are other side issues being formulated for discussion in the special session that begins Thursday.

Our plea for the legislators is simple: Stick to the issue at hand. Work on verbiage and funding that will create mutual understanding with the court. And, most importantly, stay focused upon the kids of Kansas in all deliberations.

It’s a tough assignment

for them, because it goes against the nature of their elected roles to “suck it up” and try to please another branch of government.

But we all must do that in life, don’t we?

Who hasn’t been required to cough up more collateral for a bank loan than they really wanted to do?

Who hasn’t resigned from a good-paying job, to accept something that makes better sense for family and personal health reasons?

And, who hasn’t grumbled about a judge’s decision, but chose to please the court and move forward to better days?

That’s the challenge for lawmakers who will be tempted to cure all things in their deliberations. They will be tempted to pontificate, punish and point fingers.

Let’s pray they don’t.

In fact, let’s do just that.

Let’s say a prayer for these oft-maligned public servants as they huddle in the statehouse and try for the impossible — pleasing everybody.

May their deliberations be brief, amiable and smart.

And, for Pete’s sake, may every school door remain open.

— Rudy Taylor, Taylor Newspapers, Caney, Kan.

“getting pretty bad.”

Sen. Laura Kelly, DTopeka, said the state bears primary responsibility.

“When you outsource something, when you contract something, it’s your responsibility to make sure the job is getting done,” Kelly said.

Because of the undercounting issues, the state will withhold a $750,000 payment from Accenture, said Angela de Rocha, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services. The total value of the company’s contract, which runs through 2021, is $264 million.

Hawkins said he had approached legislative leadership a few weeks ago about the possibility of holding hearings during the special session, which begins Thursday, and was told no. He said he also wants to know more about the Medicaid cuts announced

by Brownback in May. Brownback cut Medicaid provider reimbursement rates by 4 percent as part of budget-balancing measures.

Spokeswomen for both House Speaker Ray Merrick and Senate President Susan Wagle said Monday that they want the session focused narrowly on school finance.

An oversight committee is set to meet in early August, and Hawkins said he wants much of the meeting focused on both the Medicaid cut and the ongoing backlog. The state hopes the backlog

ATLANTA (AP) — A mystery is brewing in Atlanta, where someone stole an ocean of beer.

A brewery in the city says nearly 3,300 cases of beer went missing when two of its refrigerated trailers were stolen.

SweetWater Brewing Co. said the trailers had been loaded for a morning pickup when they were taken from the plant north of downtown in the pre-dawn darkness Tuesday.

“For a small company like us to lose that much beer, it really hurts,” said Steve Farace, who handles marketing for the 140-employee craft beer company.

The two trailers carried 3,272 cases altogether — or more than 78,500 bottles — of SweetWa-

ter’s Summer Variety Pack, company spokeswoman Tucker Berta Sarkisian said.

Both trailers were later found in the Atlanta area by using GPS, but both were empty.

By Tuesday afternoon, about one-fourth of the stolen beer was found at a warehouse in Clayton County just south of Atlanta, Sarkisian said.

Farace was at the warehouse as police looked over the recovered beer and sought clues about who stole it.

Though some of the beer was found, “we can no longer trust that that beer would be up to the quality standards that we as a brewery maintain, so unfortunately we have to destroy it all,” Farace said.

“Despite this setback, the state believes its eligibility determination backlog issues will have been dealt with by the end of summer,” de Rocha said.

Copa America Soccer: Argentina 4, United States 0

Messi, Argentina top USA

By RONALD BLUM The Associated Press

HOUSTON (AP) — Lionel Messi pretty much ended the United States’ Copa America hopes in less than three minutes.

Argentina’s diminutive dribbling, scoring machine

showed the skills, speed and brilliance that have made him a five-time world player of the year, exposing the huge gap between the U.S. and soccer’s elite.

Messi set up Ezequiel Lavezzi’s opening goal 175 seconds in, scored on a free kick to break Argentina’s career scor-

ing record and assisted on the second of Gonzalo Higuain’s two goals in a 4-0 rout Tuesday night that put La Albiceleste into the Copa America final.

ALTAMONT — Iola quarterback Ben Cooper was not satisfied with the way his 2015 season went from a team standpoint and the path to making 2016 a better one begins with offseason work. Tuesday’s joint practice with Labette County, Baxter Springs and Cherryvale was an important step on that path. Twenty-one Mustangs attended the practice.

“It means that we are tired of losing and tired of not going to the playoffs,” the senior quarterback said of the turnout. “We are ready to have a good year and make it to the playoffs.”

Mustang coach Doug Kerr was pleased with the turnout and the way his team performed in the second practice at Labette County. The team also had practiced in Altamont last See MUSTANGS | Page B3

NEW YORK (AP) — No late comeback for Kansas City this time.

Back in the ballpark where they celebrated a championship last fall, swigging sweet champagne well past midnight, the Royals were beaten 2-1 by the New York Mets on Tuesday night in a World Series rematch at Citi Field.

Bartolo Colon’s early injury put the Mets in a major bind, but they won a battle of bullpens against the best relief corps in baseball.

“It was a fun atmosphere. I think we anticipated that coming in,” Kansas City first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “It’s a fun stadium to play in.”

Yoenis Cespedes hit his 18th home run and Asdrubal Cabrera also connected off Ian Kennedy (5-6), dropping the Royals to 13-24 on the road.

They have the top home record in the majors at 25-8.

Cabrera hit an oppositefield drive to left in the first inning, just beyond the reach of a leaping Brett Eibner. Cespedes homered to center leading off the fourth.

“I don’t think I made that many mistakes, except for the two that were solo homers,” said Kennedy, pulled for a pinch-hitter in the fifth.

CHANUTE — Post 15 entered Tuesday night’s second game in Chanute with an 0-3 record this season. Chanute had outscored Iola 23-7 in the first three games.

“Chanute is a Triple-A team so they pull from a bigger pool of kids than we do,” Iola coach Rick Vink said.

Iola desperately needed someone to step up and give them confidence against its rival. They found that person in the form of Isaac Vink.

The Indians started Vink after he had just returned from

a family vacation. The rest seemed to do him good.

“I had a nice week off while we were in Colorado, so I felt good. My curveball was working really well,” Vink said.

Vink threw all five innings of the second game and allowed only two earned runs in the 8-4 victory. He allowed just seven hits and struck out four while giving up no walks.

Vink’s night didn’t start out all that well. He allowed a two-hit RBI single in the first inning.

Low Secondary Market Rates

House sales strong in US WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans snapped up houses in May almost as soon as properties were listed, fueling the strongest sales rate in nearly a decade.

The National Association of Realtors says sales of existing homes rose 1.8 percent last month, the highest level since February 2007. Americans remain intent on buying homes, despite the low inventory of properties on the market that has pushed up prices Homes sold in May after just 32 days on the market, the fastest pace ever measured by the Realtors since they began tracking the figure in 2011.

The median home sales price was $239,700 in May, up 4.7 percent from a year ago.

Politicians make final appeals in ‘Brexit’ campaign LONDON (AP) — Campaigners on both sides of the crucial vote over whether Britain should remain in the European Union crisscrossed the country today, their last day to win support from the undecided.

Prime Minister David Cameron outlined his vision for a future with Britain retaining its place in the 28-nation bloc, bristling at the notion that the country would be headed in the wrong direction if it stayed in. He flatly rejected the charge that the institution is moribund.

“We are not shackled to a corpse,” Cameron told the BBC. “You can

stake more complex than in a general election and prompted all sorts of groups, from scientists to CEOs, to register their opinions on whether to stay or go.

The stakes are high as the vote is final — unlike an election in which the results can be reversed in the next term. However, the vote is not legally binding, and Parliament would have to vote to repeal the law that brought Britain into the EU in the first place.

A vote to leave would invoke Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, which allows a member state to withdraw. The article has

It’s time to have a totally new relationship with our friends and partners across the Channel. ... It’s time to break away from the failing and dysfunctional EU system.

— Boris Johnson, former London mayor and Brexit backer

see the European economy’s recovery. It’s the largest single market in the world.”

The most notable figure in the “leave” campaign, former London Mayor Boris Johnson, kicked off a whirlwind tour of England as he pushed for a British exit — or Brexit.

Touring the Billingsgate Fish Market, Johnson mugged for the cameras with fish in hand — a notso-subtle reminder that this is an island nation — and one very proud of its independence and selfassurance.

“It’s time to have a totally new relationship with our friends and partners across the Channel,” Johnson said. “It’s time to speak up for democracy, and hundreds of millions of people around Europe agree with us. It’s time to break away from the failing and dysfunctional EU system.”

Voters go to the polls Thursday after a campaign that has been unusually heated, even by the lively standards of British politics.

Nigel Farage, a “leave” campaigner and leader of the U.K. Independence Party, resisted fresh calls to apologize for a poster showing hundreds of migrants making their way across Europe along with the words “Breaking Point.”

The poster, labeled racist and misleading by opponents, was unveiled hours before Labour lawmaker Jo Cox was killed in a knife and gun attack outside a library in her Yorkshire constituency last week. She had been an outspoken supporter of migrants. Friends and family planned to hold a celebration of Cox’s life in cities around the world today, which would have been her 42nd birthday.

“I apologize for the timing and I apologize for the fact that it was able to be used by those who wish us harm,” said Farage.

“But I can’t apologize for the truth.”

“This was a photograph that all newspapers carried, it is an example of what is wrong inside the European Union,” he said.

The reach of the EU into every aspect of life has made the issues at

never been invoked and it would trigger a period of uncertainty during years of negotiations on the relationship between the EU and the U.K. Much of the debate has hinged on the economy.

From the international banks in the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf to the traditional home of Britain’s financial industry in the City of London, business has largely awaited the referendum with trepidation and caution. Many fear a vote to leave would undermine London’s position as the world’s pre-eminent financial center and damage an industry that underpins the British economy.

Leaders of about half of Britain’s largest companies made a last-ditch appeal to their employees to vote for remaining in the European Union.

In a letter to the Times on the eve of Thursday’s vote, some 1,285 business leaders — include representatives of half of the FTSE 100 businesses — argue that a vote to leave will hurt the British economy.

Similar letters have been released in the course of the acrimonious campaign. But today’s letter is clearly meant to make the 1.75 million people employed by the signatories think twice about their vote.

“Britain leaving the EU would mean uncertainty for our firms, less trade with Europe and fewer jobs,” the letter said. “Britain remaining in the EU would mean the opposite: more certainty, more trade and more jobs. EU membership is good for business and good for British jobs.

That’s why, on June 23, we back Britain remaining in the EU.” Stock markets and the pound continued to rise, indicating that investors think the “remain” side will win. Markets are likely to be jittery, however, as the vote is expected to be tight and a decision to leave would create huge uncertainty. U.S. Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen warned Tuesday that the upcoming vote “could have significant economic repercussions.”

Mustangs: Iola practices at Labette County in joint practice Continued from B1

Tuesday as well.

“The good thing is, for the kids that could not make it out, they will have some pressure on them, because these kids got 30 or 40 reps and got better,” Kerr said. “That is what we like.”

One of the biggest questions entering the 2016 season is who will step up as the primary ball-carrier for the team next season.

While nobody became the clear front runner on Tuesday, the Mustangs had a trio of backs who made great strides. Sophomore Tayton Driskell flashed his game-breaking ability.

“Tayton is going to do a good job for us, but he is also going to play defense so we can’t run him 40 times a game. Other people will have to step up,” Kerr said. “The others are learning on the run.”

Cooper likes the attitude he is seeing from his tailbacks.

“I thought they did really well today,” Cooper said.

“They all love football so that is nice, and they each work really hard.”

Another thing about the Iola ground attack that stood out to Kerr was the comfort level Cooper displayed as a runner and decision-maker in the option game.

“Sometimes people misquote it by saying it is about confidence,” Kerr

said. “I don’t think it is confidence as much as it is just overcoming a fear of making mistakes and playing free.

“Running the ball last

year, Ben was about our fourth option, but early this year he is showing he might be needing to get some more reps.”

Cooper agrees with his

coach that becoming comfortable in the offense will be a key to his potential success.

“I feel like I know a lot more about our offense

and reading the defenses,” Cooper said. “I want to be able to read the defense more this year rather than just find somebody to throw to.”

Kerr says that his senior signal caller will be the key to everything the Mustangs do on offense.

“Ben is the cog that turns the wheel for us and gets everyone in the right positions,” Kerr said.

As far as the other skill players go, Joey Zimmerman was all over the field both offensively and defensively for Iola.

“With everything I say about Ben at quarterback, Joey is the same thing for our defense” Kerr said.

“Joey is our free safety so he is our quarterback on defense. He gets us in and out of where we need to be. Joey can do anything for us.”

Junior Isaac Vink is another member of the defensive backfield who Kerr has high hopes for in 2016. The cornerback didn’t disappoint coach on Tuesday.

“Isaac played really well at corner,” Kerr said.

“We were making the ‘lock’ call because we feel very confident that we can lock him up one-on-one with a guy.”

Both lines were also bright spots for Kerr and he especially liked the way his defensive line got after it in the scrimmages.

Tavon Blazek in particular had a great day.

“Tavon does such a great job for us on the defensive line,” Kerr said.

“He was in the backfield for us a lot.”

Soccer: Messi scores record-setting goal as Argentina thumps U.S. Continued from B1

Gulati said. “Today is a good day to judge where we are in program overall. We’re obviously a long way off.”

Messi flicked the ball over the defense to an open Lavezzi for the opener, then doubled the lead in the 32nd minute with his 55th international goal, his tournament-leading fifth, Higuain added goals in the 50th and 86th minutes, the latter off a Messi pass.

Argentina had 67 percent possession and outshot the U.S. 9-0.

“Once we were 1-nil down, we had far too much respect,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “After that early goal, I think just that our players could just feel that they are just probably in every position on the field just better than we are.”

U.S. players seemed shocked after their largest margin of defeat in a competitive match since

a 5-0 loss to Mexico in the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup final. While saying he respected Klinsmann’s opinion, U.S. captain Michael Bradley also said: “Please don’t make it out to be anything like that.”

Argentina seeks its first major title since the 1993 Copa — and its first since Messi’s debut in 2005 — on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey, against winner of Wednesday’s semifinal between Chile and Colombia.

“We deserve it, for all the good work we’ve been doing all these years,” Messi said.

Argentina might be missing Lavezzi, who fell backward over an advertising sign board and appeared to land hard on his left arm at about the 63rd minute. Lavezzi was able to get up several minutes later and left on a cart.

Hosting a special, expanded 16-nation edition of South America’s

championship to celebrate Copa America’s 100th anniversary, the U.S. won a difficult group that included thirdranked Colombia and then beat No. 13 Ecuador in the quarterfinals. But top-ranked Argentina and Messi, who turns 29 Friday and is at the top of his game, stunned the No. 31 U.S. and the sellout crowd of 70,858 at NRG Stadium.

“It’s some of his angles and his spurts and just going from a walk to an absolute sprint,” U.S. midfielder Kyle Beckerman said. “You try to do what you can to stop him, but once he gets going, it’s hard.”

The U.S. closes its tournament Saturday in the third-place match at Glendale, Arizona.

Messi will try to fill a major gap in his resume.

He has helped Barcelona win eight titles in Spain’s La Liga and four in the Champions League, but his Argentina trophies have been

Klinsmann inserted Beckerman and midfielder Graham Zusi into his lineup along with forward Chris Wondolowski because of suspensions assessed to midfielders Jermaine Jones and Alejandro Bedoya, and forward Bobby Wood.

Argentina went ahead when Lavezzi played a short corner kick to Ever Banega, who passed back to Lavezzi sprinting from the corner diagonally. Lavezzi beat Fabian Johnson to the ball and poked it to an unmarked Messi about 25 yards out, in the center of the field. As the U.S. defense started to come out, Messi one-

However, FIFA records Batistuta’s total as 56, including two goals in an exhibition against Slovakia in June 1995.

Higuain made it 3-0 when he burst past John Brooks for Lavezzi’s pass, one-timed a shot that Guzan stopped and poked in the rebound.

He got the final goal after second-half sub Steve Birnbaum gave the ball away to Messi about 35 yards from the goal.

“We let them in into a flow, and we weren’t physical enough,” U.S. defender Geoff Cameron said. “I think we respected them a little too much.”

Notes: The U.S. dropped to 2-9-1 against top-ranked teams. ... A bare-chested male fan ran onto the field as the second half was about to start, and he was tackled by security, and another spectator ran onto the field after the final whistle and got within 5 feet of Messi.

Klinsmann tried to steady his players.

“You were trying to scream into the field, saying, ‘Go at them. Go. Become physical. Just step on their toes,’” he recalled.

Messi doubled the lead after he was fouled

by Wondolowski. Klinsmann yelled at Paraguayan referee Eduardo Cardozo as Messi placed the ball about 26 yards out, closer than the spot of the foul.

“If it’s 5 yards back, he’s not shooting the same ball,” Klinsmann said. “We’re just too nice then in those moments.”

Messi bent a beautiful curving drive that went just over Guzan’s outstretched left palm and into the upper corner. Hemoved one ahead Gabriel Batistuta’s career total, according to the Argentine Football

only one more run over the next three innings.

The Iola offense got on the board in the third inning with three runs.

Kane Rogers and Ethan Tavarez each had RBIs in the frame, but it was ninehitter Justice Pugh that came up with the biggest hit of the inning.

The Marmaton Valley senior lined a double to left field and scampered to second base while Rogers scored.

“Justice is a kid who is coming around for us,” Coach Vink said. “He came through with a big

hit. Justice is a great kid and he has been great for us by playing multiple positions and now he is starting to hit the ball. I am very proud of him.”

Iola held that lead going into the fifth inning at 3-2 and despite Vink pitching well, the Indians aimed to get insurance runs before the bottom of the fifth.

Vink helped himself with a clutch three-run double to push the lead to 6-2.

“Isaac came up and delivered that three-run double to break the game open,” Rick Vink said.

Royals: Kansas City loses to Mets, 2-1 Continued from B1

The 43-year-old Colon was hit on his pitching hand by a line drive and left after one batter with a bruised right thumb.

Yet a gritty Hansel Robles (1-3) and four other relievers bailed out the Mets by combining for 8 2/3 stellar innings in the opener of a two-game set.

“They did a great job, threw a great game, and really did a good job picking them up after the injury to Bartolo,” Hosmer said. “It definitely would have been nice to get to that first guy a little bit and try to dig into that bullpen a little more.”

The teams split a twogame series in Kansas City to open the season, but the Royals returned to Citi Field on Tuesday for the first time since clinching their World Series title last November with a stirring rally in Game 5.

Still, manager Ned Yost insisted the trip was no sunny stroll down memory lane.

“Just another series,” he said before the game.

“I don’t know if it’s weird or not. I mean, it was a great accomplishment, but it’s kind of in the rearview mirror in the middle of the season now.”

Hours earlier, the Mets announced a tweak to their pitching rotation. Colon was bumped up a day to start on regular rest, and Noah Syndergaard was pushed back one day to Wednesday afternoon.

After only four pitches, however, the NL champions were scrambling.

Royals leadoff man Whit Merrifield hit a line drive that barely glanced off Colon’s glove and struck him hard on his right thumb.

X-rays were negative, the Mets said.

The ball deflected to second baseman Neil Walker, who threw to first for an out. Colon shook his pitching hand in obvious pain and bent over at the waist as Collins and trainer Ray Ramirez rushed out of the dugout.

Following a brief meeting near the mound, Colon walked off the field. Robles was given all the time he needed to warm up.

“That could spell disaster, but he didn’t allow that to happen,” Yost said.

Indeed, Robles provided yeoman’s work. After throwing 41 pitches Sunday, he threw 65 over 3 2/3 effective innings and struck out six. His previous career highs were 52 pitches and three innings, in differ-

Causes of high blood pressure may work in concert Dear Dr. Roach: I have had elevated blood pressure for a very long time. I had my son eight years ago and I don’t recall what it was before that; however, I developed pre-eclampsia during pregnancy and had a cesarean section a week early. When my son was 2, I was diagnosed with ADHD, and have been on Vyvanse ever since. I was thinking that my medication is a contributing factor; however, even when we lowered the dose and I started taking blood pressure medication, my BP is still so high I feel like I’m going to faint. Yesterday it was 169/97, and my pulse was 109. My doctor did sever-

Dr. Keith Roach

Answer: You have several possible causes for your high blood pressure. It is likely that it runs in the family, since the majority of people with stroke have hypertension (though not all).

Second, women with pre-eclampsia (sometimes still called by its old name, toxemia) are at higher risk for developing high blood pressure (3.7 times more likely) later in life. Third, lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) causes increased heart rate and hypertension in a few percent of people who take it.

I suspect that, in you, all these potential causes are acting together.

There may be other con-

tributing risk factors in you I don’t know about.

One thing is clear: You need to get your blood pressure down into a safer range. Women with a history of pre-eclampsia also have increased risk for heart disease, so it’s particularly important for you. Your doctor may need to add or change medication or look for another cause. It would be unlikely you’d find one, and your doctor has already done some looking.

Kidney damage is usually diagnosed by blood tests, and the cause is determined through urine tests, ultrasounds and sometimes more-sophisticated tests if necessary.
