AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Gun Safety Debate: After the Winfield murder-suicide, a Kansas neighbor asked lawmakers to consider limits on felons buying firearms, but Rep. Rick Wilborn dismissed it as “gun shaming,” highlighting how gun-safety talk can get framed as an attack on owners. Heat & Outdoor Safety: With Labor Day heat and sun risk, Kansas City-area health experts urge frequent sunscreen reapplication, shade, hydration, and watching for heat illness signs like cramps, dizziness, nausea, and fast breathing. Missing Person (TBI): Kansas City, Kansas police are asking for help locating Melvin Strode, 52, who is blind and has a traumatic brain injury and was last seen near 75th and State Ave. Community Corrections Funding: Riley County commissioners approved grant line-item adjustments and continued recruiting for juvenile intake officers, including funds for office upgrades and tools for clients. Health Access & Disability Funding: Kansas lawmakers questioned KDADS for internally shifting about $24 million tied to the I/DD waiting list, with critics saying it didn’t go where it was intended. Court Watch (Abortion Case): Kansas AG Kris Kobach’s office argued a high-stakes abortion restrictions case should be retried, but a procedural filing deadline dispute is complicating the next step. Sports & Wellness (Youth): A Kansas school district program called Tiger Kicks is helping students afford sports gear by recycling donated shoes for multiple activities.
