You have to wonder, sometimes, where these ideas come from that become bills printed up for the Kansas Legislature to consider this election-year session.
That’s part of the wonder of the building, seeing ideas, good or bad or just surprising, that show up.
Like the one that gives property owners the first right of refusal of deer antlers seized from illegal hunting on their property.
Or the one that would allow podiatrists, who are, of course, foot doctors, to also treat problems in the ankle. Which is probably a little like farming on some health care professional’s property.
Or one that would exempt motorcycles from Turnpike tolls.
