“How can any Republican who cares about Kansas rally around a governor who is bankrupting the state? Even though Sam Brownback has an ‘R’ beside his name, his agenda is killing Kansas.
“Virtually all moderate Republicans — or RINOS — share one priority. It is education — K-12 public education and higher education.

And unless a court orders otherwise, what the legislature sends to the governor are inadequate funds for public schools and cuts to the state’s universities.
