Worst case scenario is that we become Mississippi'ish with shitty schools, poor infrastructure, and the move doesn't attract biz. All the while prop taxes go up regionally. Sound good?
Meh, we'll see but I doubt it. Even with a conservative legislature, there's still plenty of fat in the budget. To take your school funding, for example, the amount of money spent on school administration (bureaucracy), as opposed to the actual teachers, supplies, and facilities, is ridiculous. And roads will be fine. Blue states spend much more on infrastructure and get shittier results, again because of
how the money is spent/stolen. It's less a matter of how much you spend than what you spend it on.
Kansas is a great place to live. We don't have mountains or a beach, but we've got an excellent cost of living and quality of life. I fully support Brownback's initiatives to reduce our tax burden, as should most Kansans. If you get your paycheck from the state government or just have a natural liberal disposition, I can understand why you'd feel otherwise.
