Kip Moore is a very hands-on artist in control of everything from the way his self-written songs sound on his album to the way his stage show comes off on the road. That control extends to the t-shirts and other items on sale at Kip’s concerts, but he admits being a part-time fashion designer for those merch items isn’t his cup of tea.
Says Kip, “I’m very in control of a lot of things, and the merch thing has been one thing that’s made me just want to pull my hair out. My forte is not drawing, you know what I mean?”
Kip works with people who design tour merchandise to come up with the t-shirt designs, but it’s a tough process for him.
“People turn in stuff to me, and I’m like, ‘No! No! That’s not it! That’s not it!” Kip explains. “But I don’t know what to do, and I don’t know what to tell ’em.”
Kip’s goal is to make his concert t-shirts look cool so people want to wear them all the time.
He says, “I’m trying to keep it simple. I don’t want to put my face on a big, gigantic shirt. I mean a big face on a shirt — I just don’t want to do that.”
Once Kip has decided on the t-shirt designs, he’s more than happy to get back to doing what he does best.
He adds, “I’d rather just stick to writing songs, man.”

Topeka – Kansas Governor Sam Brownback delivered his second Governor’s Budget Amendment (GBA) for Fiscal Years 2013, 2014 and 2015 to the Kansas Legislature Monday. Total adjustments reduce spending approximately $102 million.
“The budget adjustments recommended in this GBA reflect new issues that have arisen or changes based on new information, such as the KanCare Dividend,” Gov. Brownback said. “I look forward to working with the Legislature to craft tax and budget plans that support a balanced budget that funds our state’s core responsibilities, provides the state a strong ending balance and continues our state on the glide path to a zero state income tax.”
The Governor’s second GBA includes recommendations to increase the state’s investment for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) being built in Manhattan; increased funding to reduce the state’s waiting lists for home and community-based services and funding for startup costs for the Midwest Stem Cell Center.
Governor Brownback also renewed his call for the Legislature to support his proposed budget for the state’s universities, community colleges and technical schools – including the funding of the University of Kansas Medical Center’s expansion to train additional doctors and nurses.
“Higher education is a core responsibility of the state. My proposed budget holds our Regents schools harmless and includes targeted funding important to our state’s economic growth. I have challenged education leaders to focus their schools on improving student results. It is important we keep state funding level for our universities, community colleges and technical schools,” Brownback said.

More than 100 state employees are facing the dilemma of whether to move, commute more than 50 miles or retire when the Kansas Department of Agriculture moves from Topeka to Manhattan.
Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman announced earlier this month the department was making the 56-mile move to be closer to Kansas State University, the future National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility and other ag-related entities.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports the department will keep its administrative staff of about 10 employees in Topeka and will maintain a lab and field office at Forbes Field. The other 150 KDA workers will have to decide whether to commute, move or leave the department.
The proposal calls for KDA leave its downtown Topeka offices no later than June 30, 2014.
(AP) — The family of two Leavenworth brothers who were shot to death in 2011 is unhappy with a plea agreement that allowed the killer to be sentenced to 18 years in prison.
A Leavenworth County judge followed the plea agreement’s recommendations while sentencing 37-year-old Aundray D. McDonald Friday for two counts of voluntary manslaughter.
He was originally charged with premeditated first-degree murder and first degree felony murder in the December 2011 deaths of 25-year-old Derrick and 28-year-old Marshall Jones outside a Leavenworth barbershop. The shootings resulted from a feud between McDonald and the brothers.
The brothers’ family asked for a longer sentence. One of the family members screamed after hearing the judge was following the plea agreement and had to leave the courtroom.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) – The Saline County sheriff has temporarily closed the county’s juvenile detention center, saying a lack of staff is making the center unsafe for employees and inmates.
Sheriff Glen Kochanowski announced Monday that he expected the Saline County Juvenile Detention Center to reopen in July.
Seven juveniles were taken Monday to a juvenile detention facility in Junction City, joining three Saline County juveniles already housed there.
Kochanowski says the Saline County center’s employees will work at the jail or remain at the center while it is closed to book new offenders for Junction City.
The sheriff says he is required by state law to be responsible for the well-being of inmates, and he had to close the center to ensure no one else gets hurt.

(AP) — Sprint Nextel says SoftBank is allowing it to seek more information from Dish Network related to its rival bid for the third-largest U.S. cellphone company.
Overland Park, Kan.-based Sprint has agreed to sell 70 percent of itself to Japan’s Softbank Corp. for $20.1 billion. But it recently got a competing $25.5 billion offer from Dish Network Corp. for the whole company.
Under the agreement with SoftBank, Sprint can enter into a non-disclosure agreement and talks with Dish so it can clarify and obtain additional information from Dish related to its bid for the company.
Sprint isn’t allowed to provide non-public information to Dish and can’t enter into negotiations with the company.
SoftBank says it remains confident in its offer and expects the deal to close in July.
