We agree with this editorial: “We believe the change has nothing to do with audit trails. It is about giving the appearance that more school funding is coming from the state instead of local property taxpayers. It is about control of education by right-wing Brownback supporters. And it is about punishing school districts and the courts for daring to challenge the legislature’s funding decisions.
Given the legislature’s recent financial record and penchant for political revenge and micro-managing education, school districts, banks and property taxpayers all have very good reason to be worried.” http://www.winfieldcourier.com/opinion/editorial/article_86f417f0-fc09-11e3-9c1f-0019bb2963f4.html
