What about the people that setup out of a van and sell T-shirts, stuffed
toys and other items in strip-mall parking lots around town.  Surely
they'd fall under the same ordinance.  This could have also been applied
to the ham radio flea market and swap meet that used to be held in
Wichita, now it's in Valley Center.  Any event where folks are selling
any kind of item would fall under this thing.

Nice to see you have a firm grip on Wichita politicos.  I shudder to
think that King Bob should become governer.  His first priority will be
to screw the rest of the state for some reason, as he believes Western
Resources has been overcharging Wichita for electricity.  This may or
may not be the case, but we get our power from the Jeffery Energy
Center, a coal fired plant northwest of Topeka.  To be honest, I can't
say my electric bill is cheaper here than when I lived in Wichita.  But,
King Bob will probably force Western Resources to raise our rates
anyway.

I'd just as soon he stayed Duke of Wichita rather than King of Kansas.
