My final question for you is if money and time weren't an object, what would be the things that you would do to improve justice and accessibility to justice in Kansas?
voice-verified
Thank you so much for being here with us today, Justice Wall.
voice-verified
Yeah, this was also Speaker Hawkins' last state of the state by his own characterization.
voice-verified
I found it really interesting.
voice-verified
I went back and I looked at his speech from 2024.
voice-verified
And the tone shift from then to now was pretty significant.
voice-verified
Back in 2024...
voice-verified
He had a lot more attacks on Governor Kelly and the Biden administration.
voice-verified
There were still a few this year, but markedly fewer.
voice-verified
His speech centered on listing wins from the last session, including tax relief, reducing spending.
voice-verified
But all in all, he talked a lot about money by that token.
voice-verified
He talked about reducing the state budget without compromising core services.
voice-verified
This year, it's going to be the second year where the legislature is proposing and putting forth its own budget without going through the customary process of waiting for the governor to propose hers.
voice-verified
So, in that, Hawkins talked a lot about prioritizing schools and healthcare.
voice-verified
I thought these were interesting promises.
voice-verified
I think one thing within the schools topic is a cell phone ban in K-12 schools that has really garnered bipartisan support.
voice-verified
At the same time, he and other Republicans haven't characteristically been in favor of fully funding K-12 schools.
voice-verified
On the side of health care, he mentioned increasing hospital or right-sizing hospital reimbursements, correcting prescription drug prices.
voice-verified
But again, Hawkins has historically been against expanding Medicaid in Kansas, which is something that has been shown through various studies could improve health care in the state.
voice-verified
right.
