As a regular reader of the Morning Sun, I am deeply grateful that our hometown paper has a high caliber journalist in the person of Dustin Strong. In case you didn’t catch two of his recent contributions, I’ll summarize them and then maybe you too will consider expressing your appreciation to him. In the Friday, Sept. 15 edition he had a front-page article about KS Senate President Ty Masterson’s local presentation promoting a flat tax on state income.
