Sedgwick County Commission Chair Ryan Baty tells KNSS News the answer is 'yes.' He points out that the Speaker of the House, the Senate President, and the Senate Majority leader are from south central Kansas. Baty says there was a time when it seemed that, "a lot of the dollars and investment went to northeast Kansas," but he thinks that has changed.
At Wednesday's meeting, the Sedgwick County Commission will focus attention on people with disabilities.
