John Hanna, an AP Reporter in Topeka is one of those people in Kansas I have always respected. Now, while reporters may view some of the outsiders as those kookie gadflies, it doesn't mean that we can't have sincere admiration for the truly difficult work that they do every day.
John Hanna has covered fleets of major issues in Kansas, and he has been at the heart of numerous scoops and great reporting. On June 8th in the State house, though, Hanna didn't just break a story - he taught legislators a little bit about what transparency truly means.
