Good Morning Kansas: July 22, 2008

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

A Topeka grandmother is upset the city forces her to pay just to watch her grandkids swim. Why the city defends its pool policy and what she may do to show her disgust. The city wants more of your money. How much council members want to raise the sales tax and what the extra cash would be used for. Chances are you have already seen political ads for many of the candidates who are running for state and congressional seats. But can you believe all of the claims made in those ads? We decided to put those political ads to the truth test. We have the latest on the road to the White House. July is all about the heat, but not everyone uses air conditioning to cool off. The tricks some Topekans have up their sleeves to cope without AC. Learn how you can participate in a golf tournament that raises money for working adults who are getting their associate's degree from Friends University. Plus, the DVD "The X-Files: Revelation" comes out today. What Film Critic Keith Van Sickle thought of it. And, get a sneak peek at the weekend forecast. Your full forecast is found throughout this episode.
