Book excerpt: A city may not prohibit the use of its park for political advocacy activities or prohibit the distribution of handbills, pamphlets, posters or any other literature of a political nature as such restrictions violate the first amendment to the United States constitution because the prohibition constitutes a prior restraint on communication without narrow objective and definite standards. Furthermore, the exclusion of all political activity in a city park is a content-based exclusion which requires the city to establish that the exclusion is necessary to serve a compelling governmental interest and is narrowly drawn to achieve that interest. Finally, a city may impose reasonable restrictions on the time, place or manner of protected speech provided the restrictions are justified without reference to their content, are narrowly tailored to serve a significant city interest and leave open ample alternative channels for communication of information. Cited herein: U.S. Const., amend. 1.

Book excerpt: The "governor's cabinet" has evolved through custom and tradition loosely patterned after the United States president's cabinet. Each member of the president's cabinet has a constitutional duty to provide opinions as the principal officer of an executive department when required by the president. U.S. const., art. II, section 2. There is a similar provision in the Kansas constitution. As such, cabinet members serve as advisors to the governor. The members of the current governor's cabinet include the secretaries of various state departments who are appointed by the governor subject to the confirmation of the senate and serve at the pleasure of the governor. In our opinion, the legislature may require that the secretary of the board of agriculture serve as a member of the governor's cabinet because as a member of the executive department she is already subject to the governor's request for information regarding her duties. Cited herein: K.S.A. 32-801; 74-5002; K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 75-3702; 75-5001; 75-5101; 75-5203; 75-5301; 75-5601; 75-5701; 75-5903. Kan. Const., art. 1, section 1; Kan. Const., art. 1, section 4; Kan.

Book excerpt: The old Rock Island Railroad depot building donated in 1959 to the Eisenhower presidential library commission was library property, and title thereto was acquired in the name of the state. Assuming the governor conveyed the library property of the Eisenhower presidential library commission to the United States as provided by L. 1961, ch. 393, and assuming the federal government accepted such conveyance pursuant to federal statute, title to the building was thereby transferred to the federal government. The storage contract for the depot building executed in 1960 by the commission and Old Abilene Town Company, Inc. expired in 1985. Thereafter, the federal government as the presumed successor title owner had the legal right to take possession of the depot building.

Book excerpt: Unlike review of a public record in open meeting, executive session review of a public record by an entity subject to the Kansas open meetings act (KOMA) does not alter the nature of or laws applicable to disclosure of that record. The Kansas open records act (KORA) generally requires all public records to be open unless a specific law applies to that record in such a way as to require or allow closure of the public record in question. Whether or not a specific document fits the definition of a public record, or is subject to closure under a specific law, is a fact question which must be answered on a case by case basis. K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 45-221(a) and (b), 79-1437c and 79-1437f, as amended, should all be considered when reviewing a record that contains financial information provided to a county pursuant to taxing authority. Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-215; K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 45-217; 45-221, as amended by L. 1995, ch. 256, section 6; K.S.A. 75-4317; K.S.A. 1994 Supp. 79-4319, 79-1437c, as amended by L. 1995, ch. 252, section 25; 79-1437f.
