Kansas State government offices will close tomorrow to honor President George H.W. Bush, who died on Friday. Governor Jeff Colyer made December 6th a legal holiday and ordered state offices to close. Tomorrow is also a national day of mourning. Colyer served as a White House fellow under President Bush and President Ronald Regan. State offices also closed after the deaths of President John Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Truman, Lydon Johnson, and Regan and Gerald Ford. Many, but not all, state courts also will close tomorrow. The Kansas Supreme Court has given judicial districts discretion to conduct court proceedings if they were needed. Anyone who has a court day scheduled tomorrow should check with the court to determine if it will be held.
