An open letter to State Board of Education Member John Bacon

Dear Mr. Bacon:

I don’t know you, so I may be totally off base, but why in the world would you vote not to retain and encourage one of the finest, most honest, and most dedicated public servants in the history of Kansas.  Does fifty years of distinguished service mean nothing to you?

Public service is not easy.  Those who devote their lives to it deserve our respect and thanks, not vilification.  If we want to encourage the hard working professionals who work every day for Kansans, the way to do it is to support Dale Dennis and those like him, rather than disparaging his good name for political gain.
