There’s a new pastime among Kansas Statehouse insiders—we’re calling it “ReFresh Friday.”
Huh?
Yes, it’s the act of hitting the refresh button on your computer to see whether the Kansas Supreme Court has issued at about 9:30 a.m. on any Friday, along with its other decisions, the Gannon v. Kansas school finance case decision.
Because the 9:30 a.m. release time is not precise (that’s why you have to ReFresh the court website frequently, and we figured the odd capitalization might give someone an idea for a T-shirt plus ReFresh Friday makes a nice companion day to Throwback Thursday, the day you post old photos on social media), you hit the button over and over again to check.
