There are eight major areas that Republicans are calling their “a better way” platform. It covers almost everything impacting Kansas today, from taxes and workforce development to education and healthcare. “Yesterday was pretty much a ceremonial today, [now] we get to work and we all are ready to get to work,” said Representative Dan Hawkins. For the Republican leadership of the Kansas House and Senate, getting back to work Tuesday meant laying out their plans for this year’s legislative session, releasing its platform called “a better way.” “The senate president and I started talking four months ago,” Hawkins said. “And the one thing that we wanted to do is we wanted to have a legislative session that was keyed in on what was important to our members.”
