Catholic League President Bill Donohue – “Ten years ago, there were 1,869 employees at the Star; today there are 840,” he said. “Given these data, turning down $25,000 – in today’s economy – must mean the Star is more concerned about getting Bishop Finn than it is the welfare of its own workers.”   The hyper-partisan Kansas City Star supported law-breaking Johnson County Community College leaders | Read More »
