(KAIR)--A Nortonville resident has been named to serve on a Kansas board, designed to "provide Kansans equal electronic access to state, county, local, and other public information."

That's the responsibility of the Information Network of Kansas Board, to which Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has named Greta Funk to serve. Funk is among a total of three appointed, with the two others from the Kansas City, Kansas area.

The network, known as INK, was created, in 1990, by the Kansas Legislature, to make certain state residents have equal access, through use of the internet, to governmental data.

The three appointed to INK were among a number of other appointments made last week by Kelly, with local residents also named to continue serving on the Kansas Pet Animal Advisory Board.

Among the eight reappointments Kelly made to that board are three from the local area, including Lorilee Thomas, a resident of Jackson County's Whiting. The two others reappointed are both from Leavenworth County, including Kathleen Engler, of Leavenworth, and Crystal Swann Blackdeer, of Tonganoxie.

The Pet Animal Advisory Board serves in an advisory capacity to the Animal Health Commissioner, aiding the commissioner in determining policies and plans relating to the Division of Animal Health, making recommendations concerning the rules and regulations for the Kansas Pet Animal Act.
