Even more than that, I wouldn't put it past them to start changing everything without doing backups first. Thus, they'll not only screw everything up, code-wise, but all lose the databases that store all our info... like how much we get each month!!! And, how much we've contributed over our lifetimes of work.

Anyone in KS wanna go together or meet up at the State Capitol in Topeka on 4/5?!
