| Description | The State’s Secretary of the Kansas Department of Administration, Dennis Taylor, sent a letter to the Kansas Arts Commission Tuesday informing the five employees that their jobs would be terminated June 10.
In the letter, Taylor said, “Given the lack of funding, the agency positions will be abolished resulting in total agency closure.”
In addition, the Kansas Arts Commission staff was informed that all external communications are to be handled by the Governor’s office.
“We’re shocked,” Commission Chairman Henry Schwaller said in a news release. “We believe this is a backdoor attempt to circumvent what the citizens of Kansas want.” |
