hanging my head/

I am ashamed to say I am from Kansas. It is sad to say the state is going backwards with jet speed and other states are seeing it. The big issue a few years ago was a switch of standards to be pro-creationism , then back to evolution. I am sure it was 2 or 3 times and the world said "What? Why not"Allow students to choose once they know the material.
At the moment that is still the case but for how long.

At any rate we rolled along on an even keel then we entered the weird and wacky alternative world ruled by Brownback. LLC's and many other forms of businesses were exempted from taxation as it would increase economic growth. The world knows that was a failure.Look at our revenue shortfall. Wisconsin followed the same path and had the same result. So the wise voters re-elected the man ,but no one admits to having voted for him.

We are one of twenty -two states that did not expand medicaid and so our federal tax dollars go to other states.We now have the distinction of being the ONLY state to see an increase of uninsured in 2014. So our children's state medicaid was opened to private concerns to manage. Ask doctors and hospitals and more important parents how that is working?

Now two new laws move us to the dark ages. One teachers can be prosecuted ( spell it Persecuted) for teaching if someone complains it is dangerous to the youth. Arrested, sentenced and jailed. What happened to local school boards doing this? This after huge tax refund being cut from the budgets when the courts ruled that schools were underfunded under the constitution. Hmm. SO once again the students, the future of Kansas are impacted in a negative way.

Law number 2-- any one can now carry a concealed weapon with no permit required. Makes a lot of sense doesn"t it. Yes it does considering they also reduced funding for the drugs that keep mentally troubled stable. A recipe for disasters .

Forget the tornadoes , the wild weather , the floods Kansans are used to these. We can handle them but the effects of the senseless storms our government led by the brilliant Brownback is creating. I love Kansas but I truly feel it is about to implode.
