ITT, we post our thoughts about our Governor.

A godly man

He would agree, I'm sure.

Has too much faith.

Amen, we need more people of faith in public service especially Christians with a level head and decent morals. Not like the dc sewer. Sam is a loyal friend, great daddy, and smarter than your average bear. Plus he is a Kansas conservative. I do not agree with all of his policies, but it is the role of the legislature to pass bills and a budget - so they can tweek things - the tweekies.

Cat grad in Ag Econ which is all I need to know.

He was student body president when my parents were KSU Cats!

Those facts alone should keep him in office until he dies.

It's neat that he's required to satisfy the budget shortfall. He can't just print money and take on endless debt like the federal government. Bring on the CUTS! :Woot:

holy crap, man. it's one thing to not be progressive. Kansas is actually going backwards.

TOPEKA
Gov. Sam Brownback signed an executive order Tuesday rescinding a protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender state workers that was put into place by then-Gov. Kathleen Sebelius eight years ago.
Sebelius had signed an executive order in 2007 that said state workers could not be discriminated against, fired or harassed because of their gender identity or sexual orientation. In an executive order of his own, Brownback rescinded that and eight other policies that had been put into place by his Democratic predecessors, Sebelius and Gov. Mark Parkinson.
Brownback issued an additional executive order that affirmed that state employees could not be discriminated against because of their race, religion, gender, age or country of national origin but without the protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender Kansans.

What point does that even serve? What is the Christian version of Sharia Law?

What a disgrace. I bet Sam used to say "Gay U" a lot back in the day. Probs still does. tons.

People that voted for him are partying pretty hard right now

gah

Jeez, Sam

Uh, no thanks.

I feel super bad for the large amt of gay/lesbian/transgendered that were planning on moving their biz here to get a piece of our tax utopia.

it's just state employees, CNS. but i'm pretty sure non-state employees are already unprotected in Kansas if i had to guess

Maybe Jack Harry is in the running for one of his staff positions.
-
Kansas gets a lot of federal grants. Executive orders say that any one receiving a federal grant cannot discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. So if you want the fed mmoney, you cpmply with their rules. This is how federal leaders get states to do things.

It takes a special kind of bad person to stand up and say you're pro-discrimination.

No. It's stupid PR horse crap about our issues being cultural and moral.
For awhile, I thought he didn't actually believe most of the crazy things he supports.
Now, I think he actually is bat crap crazy. I really do.
-
Sam's a real modern day George Wallace.
-
This seems like the sort of thing the legislature should do - not by executive order. But I know, that's such an antiquated notion these days.

I was going to type the same thing.
-

Because the states hiring too many gays has been such a pressing issue prior to this.
Pissing off the most vocal, organized, and motivated minority seems like a bad move though, so good for sammy. God probably told him this would guide him in his way to be president.
-
I felt like you could make the case that this is a recall offense, but then I realized where I live.
-
I and my fellow expats have been laughing about and shaming this action all day. It is a hollow action, to be sure--purely symbolic. And that, that makes it all the more ridiculous.
-
Since you aren't allowed to do it either way, the Sebelius executive order was equally as stupid as the executive order that rescinded it.

Legislatures shouldn't be allowed to practice bigotry, but lo and behold, they do all over the place.

We're the executive orders by Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower ending segregation within the ranks of the Federal government stupid?
Sometimes people do the right thing and sometimes people don't.

Yes, pro and anti discrimination are equally stupid.

While we're at it, are there any other "protected classes" we should create so it will be easier for state ees to bring frivolous suits in the (already extremely unlikely) event they are fired? Obese people? That may already be covered by the ADA. Lefties? Gingers? I mean really, I guess the gov can do whatever he/she wants by executive fiat. What would you like to add?

I think the homosexuals cover it for now. I'd just read the bible, though. Anyone who God hates in there that isn't already on the list should be on it.

Yes, being left handed and being gay come with the same challenges in life.

Can someone recap what he's been doing? I hear a lot of ppl are pissed, but i'm too lazy to look into it. Just bullet points would be great. TIA.

He doesn't have to, the Republicans have their own party, their own party stances, and like to tell you what they are.

Don't lump all republicans together. I don't do that with democrats. There's some extremist on both ends of the spectrum and they're truely rough ridin' idiots.

To my point above, the Sebelius EO did no such thing. The 14th amendment already took care of that. It was as stupid and innocuous as the order rescinding it.
There's a tremendous amount of ignorance on display today.

this is on par with ending net neutrality, in terms of something i thought we could all get behind. but nope.
why do FSD and KSUW just have to defend the egregiously wrong, just because a guy with (R) after his name is responsible?

For now? But what do you think we'll need next? Let's be forward thinking about this! Remember, it's just an EO away...
-
Gay marriage? What's next?!?!?! People marrying ANIMALS?!?!?!?!?
-
When people in the government try to pass laws making government services optional for a select group, they are in need of protections. If the government attempted to pass a law saying Police Officers can decide whether helping an obese person is against their religion, we should go ahead and protect them too.

No, we just need to protect people who are actively discriminated against in their day to day lives at this time. It's also funny how you and governor Brownback claim that this should be handled by legislature and not executive order, yet Brownback created a new EO to make everyone other than homosexuals a protected class.
-
i just, don't get the positive in this. there has to be a benefit, or a positive in mind, to every move you make as a legislator, and i just don't see one here.
is it really just outright hating gays?

I keep hearing that he is eyeing a presidential run, but I just can't believe he would be dumb enough to think he could win. This move could make sense in that context, though, given how well Santorum did last time.
-
this is my understanding of the law: state employees can't be fired because of their sexuality.
JUST LEAVE IT ALONE. THAT'S A GOOD LAW. DON'T OVERTHINK THIS YOU rough ridin' IDIOT.
i know i'm not saying anything everyone doesn't already know. usually i will listen to cop out justifications for moves that seem stupid, and i'm just not seeing it for this one.
-
As far as leaving such things to legislature, we would most likely get the same result. The KS legislature loves hating gays. Yesterday 980 was discussing a new proposed bill in the KS House that redefines the reqmts for foster parents:
1. must be married (in ks, that means "not gay")
2. must have one of the two parents be full time stay at home
3. must never have alcohol in the house
4. never have been arrested or any record at all
5. must attend "a social function, including non-family, that meets often, preferably once a week" - meaning church.
They were discussing how there is basically no way this doesn't pass, because voting against this would give opponents so much ammo for the next run.
KS really wants the christian version of Sharia law.

Not sure how calling something innocuous and stupid constitutes "defending" it. But you're just as dumb as the rest of the retards in this thread, so to each his/her/its own.

Read my posts, it's all you need to know.
If you feel a need to speculate as to whether Sam's true motive was symbolic gay-hating or small gubmint ideology, then carry on. The EO has no practical effect on gays, nor anything to do with the legislature.

ok so what was the motive for Sam's move this week?
-
I've never like Brownback, just hate he's affiliated in any way with K-State.
But I can't help but laugh at the absurdity of his actions. This is just a knee jerk reaction right? There's something that's not being said, or some kind of clarity that will eventually spring forth that will make more sense out of this . . . right?
Otherwise, just wow. There should be an investigation into how many hours went into researching this EO and the people of the state should be reimbursed for all the expenses involved in this idiocy.
-
he either:
a)hates the crap out of gays and doesn't care who knows it
b)is too stupid to know how a move like this would look to the public
either way, he's a rough ridin' idiot

I think it's a. There is also a very large segment of the public that loves this move, especially in a state like Kansas.

Why? Each panders to approximately one-half of the constituency. The support for "gay rights" nationwide is one of the things educated young people serially overestimate. It's surprisingly bad.

Oh ok - just "the people being actively discriminated against." That seems like a pretty ambiguous standard. How about single parents with kids? How about the homeless? I'm not just pulling these examples out of my ass, btw, these are ideas other liberal politicians have pulled out of their asses for the latest and greatest "protected classes." It all starts getting a little absurd at some point, and creates a more litigious atmosphere where everyone is aggrieved, everyone has been wrongfully fired, etc. Next, employers (especially the gov employers) set up unwritten quotas for these protected individuals to prove they aren't discriminating. It's all gotten a bit ridiculous.

I don't think Sam's base even cares about this even more. Even if they did, it makes him look like an bad person with zero apparent gain. Kathleen's may have been innocuous and done little to gain new voters, but it didn't generate much discussion because anyone opposed to it would also look like a huge bad person. Also it could make her more attractive as a figure in her party, while the GOP has pretty much given up the fight on discriminating gays. This order would definitely come back to haunt Sam if he was involved on any type of stage beyond the Kansas border. I'm sure there's plenty of other reasons, but those are just off the top of my head.
And I'd love to see your poll numbers on people overestimating "gay rights". Because even if people overestimate its support, everyone pretty much knows things like gay marriage are inevitable and have given up the fight. I mean Mormons don't even care if gays get married any more.

If people start firing people for being a single parent, then yeah, we should pass a law that says that's not a valid reason to fire somebody.

I think transgender is the next area that will deserve protection. Hopefully we get to the point that we won't need any.

Transgender was covered until this new executive order.

It's adorable how sheltered the progressotards are regarding the popularity of their own views.
If it wasn't for the court system gay marriage would be legal in like 4 states, and outright forbidden in about 35. Homosexuality is wildly unpopular among the "changing demographics" they rely on to ram through the welfare state. Transgender is not the same thing as homosexuality, yet they lump them in together because that's how Progressotards compartmentalize and project their bigotry. It's the most disgusting kind of politics.

Interesting way to project bigotry...

FSD insultomatic machine, insert group you disagree with, chop off last syllable, replace with tard. Perfect insult and description every time.
Also, what the eff is a transgender person, are there actually that many that this is an issue? Does any one have any on the job experience with this? Some sales person in iowa at my mom's job got a sex change, and one of her male coworkers hit on "her" and they all got a good laugh about it. But I just can't imagine how weird the adjustment would be.
-
ugh, kansans
-
Let's carve up the electorate into small but manageable groups and tell them all the other is out to get them. We'll just give them a bunch of crap until they're happy.
What about Transgender people, there's not enough of them to make a separate group?
Lump them in with the Queens, it's a sexual-y thing.
Great call boss. Now what to do about all these different kinds of asians?
They make too much money to be bought, forget them.
We have like 10 different classes of citizens with ten different baskets of rights. All in the name of equality. How perverted.

Sam is the anti easter bunny. Just snatching baskets.

So how long would it take for legislators to pass a bill that deemed LGBT a protected class under state law? Is Brownback really all that much a stickler for legislative process?

It wouldn't take long at all of there was any interest in doing that. If Brownback were really a stickler for legislative process, he wouldn't have signed a new EO making everyone from the old EO a protected class except for LGBTs, though. That would be the legislature's job.

I think a purist (no clue as to Sam being as such) would do it like you described. I can definitely see him saying "well, this shouldn't have gone down in the first place, so I'm going to take it back, because I can."
What's the point of satisfying a base for him in the long run? I don't get that. I don't see how it helps in a Pres. run. Is he going to go back to Senatoring?

Sam, Kathleen and/or the legislature can't make lgbt a protected or unprotected class, you dolts. They are protected under the U.S. Constitution

No, a purist would simply repeal the executive order. By creating a new EO to replace the one he repealed, with every group included except for LGBT, he is basically saying that he thinks the legislature should act to protect one group, but it's ok to protect the others by EO.
http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/7/71/361167/kansas-gov-sam-brownback-rescinds-order-protecting-lgbt-workers
Brownback said Sebelius — a Democrat who went on to serve as President Barack Obama’s health secretary — acted “unilaterally” with her order and that any such changes should be made by the state Legislature.
Brownback, a vocal defender of a ban in the state constitution on same-sex marriage, issued a new order reaffirming the state’s commitment to prohibit discrimination based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, gender or religion.
-
What if the LGBT community started their own religion? Give Kansas a real "sophie's choice" between hating gays and freedom of religion.
-
I am no lawyer, but the two different law classes I had at Sam's alma matter both stated that sexual preference is not a protected class. Has something changed since 2002?
-
is there any concern that some of the gayer state agencies may axe a ton of straight workers?

Sam grauated from both KU and KSU, and now is showing support for the great southcentral Kansas school. i wonder if any one has had their wooo shocked.

Gov. Brownback to re-enact signing of Kansas anti-abortion measure
TOPEKA – Gov. Sam Brownback plans to have four ceremonies across Kansas to re-enact his signing of the nation’s first ban on a procedure that critics describe as dismembering a fetus.

I've always wanted to get into historical reenactments, but it just seemed like way too much effort. Period clothing? Historical research? bleh. Recent-past bill signing reenactments seem like the perfect hobby of the modern day Everyman. Period clothing? Already wearing them. Desk, pen, piece of paper? Piece of cake.

Well, Sam should dress up like Honest Abe when he does the reenactments, anyway. He should have people dressed in Confederate garb protesting him as he signs the document and hands it over to Ulysses S. Grant. Then Robert E. Lee would take off his cap, bow his head, shake it twice, shed a tear, and tell his Confederate brothers that the war is over. Abe Brownback has won.

Thanks for posting that. It's pretty funny how detailed they were in the breakdown.
Travel is a recurring theme in the documents obtained from the state, including some foreign destinations.
In July of 2012, taxpayers covered the $800 cost for Brownback to fly to Germany to attend an air show.
The previous fall, in October 2011, Brownback and other state officials spent $7,000 on plane tickets to Russia and Kazakhstan.
With long flights ahead of him, records show the governor spending another $200 in taxpayer dollars to upgrade his seats from economy to economy plus.
Obviously, any travel outside the United States requires a passport. Included in the records are receipts showing public funds were used to have Brownback's picture taken and his passport processing expedited.
They really really hate him. :lol:

Flying "economy plus" no less. Is that an extra bag of peanuts? Or maybe an exit row. Either way, the governor of Kansas filed past the first class'rs on the way back to coach, which is pretty funny.

The fight between Gov. Sam Brownback of Kansas and the state’s judicial branch has escalated, with the governor last week signing into law a bill that could strip state courts of their funding.
The measure, at the end of a lengthy bill that allocated money for the judiciary this year, stipulates that if a state court strikes down a 2014 law that removed some powers from the State Supreme Court, the judiciary will lose its funding.
The 2014 law took the authority to appoint district court judges from the Supreme Court and gave it to the district courts themselves. It also deprived the state’s highest court of the right to set district court budgets. Critics said the law was an attempt by Mr. Brownback, a Republican, to stack the district courts with judges who may be more favorable to his policies.
The budget bill that Mr. Brownback signed on Thursday was related only to the judiciary. He said he wanted to ensure that the courts would remain open while lawmakers sparred over the larger budget issues. Lawmakers have been debating how to fill a $400 million shortfall, which will most likely require tax increases that Mr. Brownback and many in the conservative-dominated Legislature oppose. If a budget is not passed by Sunday, state workers may be furloughed.
But in passing a separate budget bill to keep the third branch of government from shutting down, Republican lawmakers took the opportunity to insert language that would shield the 2014 law.

So if the legislature just packs it in and goes home, it'll just result in a 6.2% cut across the board? Sounds good to me. Why are these pubtards even having this debate?
Pubtards is going to be my new word for republicans when they do stupid crap. I think I'm going to be using that word a lot more often.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW/AP) -- Gov. Sam Brownback says he would consider cutting $394 million from funding for state universities if the Legislature does not pass tax increases to balance the state's budget by Monday.
Brownback said Thursday during a meeting of Republican legislators that vetoing universities' funding is one of his options.
"The governor's announcement this afternoon of a possible veto of all public higher education funding puts the state of Kansas in an unprecedented situation," stated Andy Tompkins, President and CEO of the Kansas Board of Regents.
"To completely defund higher education will have a devastating and long-lasting effect on students, families, businesses, and the entire economy of the State of Kansas," he added.
The Legislature has passed a $15.4 billion budget that requires about $400 million in tax increases to balance.
Budget Director Shawn Sullivan said the governor also could veto the budget and call a special legislative session or enact an across-the-board cut to all state agencies.
If Brownback opted to veto universities' funding, they'd lose money for operating expenses. Sullivan said they still could continue to pay staff from tuition funds, but not for long.

But I agree, I'd much prefer to squeeze at least $200mil out of K-12.

Per the newspaper, the budget impasse is nearly over.
It is, of course, damning to poors and all about the rich:
he House plan includes the governor’s proposal to eliminate income taxes for 380,000 low-income Kansans starting in tax year 2016.
And lol at the lazy ass democrats:
The House began debate on a pair of bills at 1:30 a.m. meant to plug the state’s nearly $400 million budget hole. It did not pass until after 4 a.m.
Democrats castigated Republican leaders for holding the debate at such an hour when lawmakers are weary

Yeah because the state reaps sooooo much money from those 380k. Do you want to talk about how sales tax or sin taxes hurt the poor disproportionately? I'll wait for you to take econ 101.

Those 380k will still be taxed on every dollar they make, just in consumption rather than income.
Also, the original bill had a lower food tax starting next year. The house snuffed that out.
Middle class was the real target here.

Per the newspaper, the budget impasse is nearly over.
It is, of course, damning to poors and all about the rich:
he House plan includes the governor’s proposal to eliminate income taxes for 380,000 low-income Kansans starting in tax year 2016.
M
And lol at the lazy ass democrats:
The House began debate on a pair of bills at 1:30 a.m. meant to plug the state’s nearly $400 million budget hole. It did not pass until after 4 a.m.
Democrats castigated Republican leaders for holding the debate at such an hour when lawmakers are weary
Yeah because the state reaps sooooo much money from those 380k. Do you want to talk about how sales tax or sin taxes hurt the poor disproportionately? I'll wait for you to take econ 101.
Also: LOL we're charging fees to nursing homes and places for the disabled. So Christ, much Christian.
y calculator says the 0.35% increase in sales tax would cost your average "poor" person who spends $30,000 on consumable goods $105 per year. Which is the equivalent of taxes on $3888 in AGI at the current 2.7% marginal rate for married people on their first $30000 in income. So, it's hard to imagine a scenario where this isn't better for poor people. Maybe those who don't work . . .
BTW, the 2.7% marginal rate represents a drastic reduction under the evil tax experiment from prior policy.

Lots of Brownbacksidehurt in this thread. He's begging the legislature to raise taxes and the libtards are bashing him. It should be a libtard wet dream.
-
The democrats can't even muster a few measly state house seats, let alone raise taxes. And here's old Sam tax and spending like a European socialist, and the libtards are enraged.
Weird

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A former state employee claims in a federal lawsuit that she was fired from her job at the Kansas secretary of state's office after she declined to attend prayer services in the office.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Courtney Canfield says in her lawsuit filed in federal court in Topeka that before Assistant Secretary of State Eric Rucker ousted her in November 2013, he "repeatedly and emphatically indicated a basis for her termination as the fact that, 'She just doesn't go to church.'"
The lawsuit names Rucker and the office of the secretary of state as defendants.
Canfield's lawsuit says she declined to attend religious services in the office despite "repeated invitations" to the services.
The secretary of state's office didn't return calls seeking comment Wednesday.

Also, as a state we lost something like 1% of the industrial jobs over the last year, while the country on average gained 1.6 or 1.7(something in that range).

-
Yeah, but IF he lived in KS, he's pay lower taxes on his income from games in Florida and Texas. So based on that, I'm rating his claim "Mostly True."
-
Actually, the more I think about it, I'm not sure what all the butthurt is all about. Gordon would save a lot in taxes if he lived in Kansas instead of Cali. Not sure it would be 1.8mil.
-
I think the butt hurt is over Sam Brownback's punchable face.
-
He said he lives in KS which is wrong

Brownback sucks, but gordo does live in the OP.
-
it's Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) because he (his staff) was trying to be topical re. gordon signing a new contract with the royals instead a team based in california. but playing for the royals has nothing to do with living in ks (or ne) in the off season. by signing a contract with the royals, gordon is signing up to have his home games taxed by missouri. kansas tax policy is irrelevant.
-
does anybody want to weigh in on whether gordon's taxes would be more if he lived in russia or on the moon? thanks.

Brownback. :lol: :ROFL:

If Gordon, hoz, cain, and moose all got some camo, guns, and minimal grocery supplies, they could just not pay any taxes and tell the govt to go eff itself.

That's not true. Living in KS does matter for at least some of his income. It depends on the state where he earns it.
-
He claims NE as his residence. Kansas has literally no impact on his income taxes. And MLB has confirmed that you pay income taxes on all the away game too.
-
but what if he lived in California instead?
-

Beautiful weather
-
If Gordon filed as a Kansas resident - and he could, given that he lives there for 7-8 months out of the year - his top tax rate would be 4.8%. It would be 13.3% in California.
That's not a purely apples to apples comparison, because Gordon would actually pay more than 4.8% in state income tax playing for the Royals even if he filed as a KS resident. His income from home games would be taxed at Missouri's 6% rate (plus the extra 1% KCMO earnings tax), and KS would give him a credit for that, so he'd pay nothing extra in KS. But 7% is still significantly less than the 13.3% if he lived in California. Filing in KS would also save him additional taxes on money earned from zero income tax states like Florida and Texas (where he would get no credit from KS but would only have to pay the 4.8% on that).
So yes, living in Kansas - meaning he plays for the Royals - saves him a lot of money as opposed to living in California. And if he files as a Kansas resident - as opposed to a Nebraska resident, which has a higher top tax rate of 6.85% - he saves even more money.
The only reason Gordon would file as a Nebraska resident, and pay higher taxes, is if he was absolutely legally required to. I'm not sure that's the case, given that he owns a home in Kansas and spends more time out of the year there than in Nebraska. Not an expert on KS and NE's residency rules.
-
Alex Gordon lives in Kansas, so a lot of you have egg (Brownback ' s cum) on your face. :ROFL:
Also, that tweet was pretty cool
-
If he lives in Kansas 7-8 months per year he has no choice but to file in kansas.
The only missouri tax he would pay is that bullshit 1% city income tax, assuming the Royals baseball club is even organized in kcmo
-
where you live doesn't have anything to do with residency in this case
-
where you live doesn't have anything to do with residency in this case
Other than being the sole dispositive fact, your absolutely correct.
-
You're :sdeek:
-
So if Gordon files in Kansas (which he probably can), as opposed to California, he would be saving 6.6% on all income from home games (13.3% versus 7%). That's a savings of at least $600k (I'm not including playoff incentives :Woot:). Savings from away games would vary dramatically, but could easily be another $600k or more. I'd estimate Gordo would save at least $1.2mil per year filing as a Kansas resident as opposed to California.
The savings between filing in Kansas and Nebraska would be quite a bit less, so he may just decide to not eff with it.
This was a fun exercise.

This is not true at all, you pay state income tax on where it's earned not where you live. Like Chant said..he would pay Income tax to Mo and Kansas would give him a credit so he wouldn't pay any actual income tax in Kansas. Altho he probably has to pay taxes in every state he plays in which would be an ungodly bitch to file.
-
Interesting take, by butthurt lib chuckjames.

Not butt hurt at all. Kansas really wouldn't get Alex's taxes no matter where he played. Although I did enjoy Brownback's comment about hoping the powerball winner was from KS so KS could get taxes on it.
-
I mean, I live MO and work in KS and I pay taxes to both states. KS will get something from him. Brownback is the worst human alive, but I thought the tweet was $, because he's got nothing else.
-

Well yea Bc KS has a lower rate than MO so your taxes paid to other states credit doesn't totally wipe out your liability to MO like it would if you worked in MO but lived in KS. The tweet was an amazing troll, I'll give Brownback's that.
-
You pay state income taxes first in the state where your residence is. The word residence has a legal meaning, and it is essentially where you to live the majority of the year. The PR gal at the Royals doesn't just fill in a state postal code and then the DOR from every other state lays down, which is what edna thinks.
Sam is clown suiting butthurt libtards, per usual.
-
the tweet implied a connection between having a tax residency in kansas and playing for the royals. there is no connection. mlb players have enough off season time that they can establish a tax residency in any state they wish.

This is isn't true, you pay state income taxes on where it's earned first, then if you don't get a credit for taxes paid to other states, you'll have to pay the state you reside in too.

You pay state income taxes first in the state where your residence is. The word residence has a legal meaning, and it is essentially where you to live the majority of the year. The PR gal at the Royals doesn't just fill in a state postal code and then the DOR from every other state lays down, which is what edna thinks.
Sam is clown suiting butthurt libtards, per usual.
Wow you're taxes must be mumped.
-
For example let's say I work in Ohio but live in KS..it's very unlikely that any KS taxes will be deducted from your W-2, but the OH tax absolutely will be deducted. So you're paying Ohio first and then possibly paying KS if you still have a liability after taxes paid to other states credit.

Man oh man..doing taxes for a professional athlete would be worse than doing taxes for a partner in a big law firm.

the tweet implied a connection between having a tax residency in kansas and playing for the royals. there is no connection. mlb players have enough off season time that they can establish a tax residency in any state they wish.
In all seriousness, I didn't get that implication. He never said "because you live in Kansas." Seemed more like he was offering advice in a humorous way - "hey, by living in Kansas you'll save a crap ton in taxes over living in California" - which is true.
As it happens he does live in Kansas for a majority of the year. That doesn't mean he files his taxes as a Kansas resident. I think he probably could, though.
Probably the most inaccurate part of the tweet was the $1.8 million - I doubt it's that high, but it would be at least $1.2 million. But we should cut Sam some slack - he's never been stellar with numbers.

Technically you should be paying taxes to the state you're traveling in for business, but it's usually for such a small amount that nobody worries about it. And yea the billable hours has to be off the charts for those returns.

No it's where the work is actually performed. Wherever the company is based really doesn't affect where you have to pay taxes unless you own said company.

This is isn't true, you pay state income taxes on where it's earned first, then if you don't get a credit for taxes paid to other states, you'll have to pay the state you reside in too.
If you think someone who lives in a state for 7-8 months isn't paying income taxes in that state, you are crazy.

A ton of people that work in Mo and live in KS pay no income taxes to KS. I mean you'll pay income tax on capital gains in the state you reside. But you pay taxes to the state you work in first.

It's more realistic than you might think. Property taxes ensure that people who actually own land in a state pay taxes to that state to help pay for all the services that support the property. Toll roads ensure that people who actually use roads pay more for them, and they're not so annoying now that everything's wireless. Sales taxes works, too. Income tax is actually pretty stupid.

Income tax isn't stupid, its just the tax your side hates the most for some reason. Sales tax is a much worse tax in my opinion. But we obviously won't agree on that.

How’s this for chutzpah from Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback?
Last Wednesday, his administration announced the latest in a series of devastating budget cuts made necessary by his fiscally disastrous 2012 income tax cuts.
On Thursday, Brownback sent out a letter in which he asked donors to send “your most generous contribution” to “Brownback for Governor, Inc.” to help him pay off 2014 campaign debts.
The opening sentence: “The liberal media continues to unleash a daily barrage of false and misleading attacks against our state and our values.”
Then in bold-faced type: “The liberals and their allies in the media will stop at nothing to undermine the conservative reforms we are making in Kansas.”
The letter, by the way, does not mention the state government’s tremendous economic woes, which he helped create.
Or the fact that the Legislature returns Wednesday to try to balance the shaky Sunflower State budget.
Or that even some Republican lawmakers are pressing Brownback to end the costly tax cuts for businesses and farmers, which sap more than $200 million a year away from public services.
However, the Brownback letter does seem to know what will play with the ultra-conservative, starve government crowd.
The missive includes attacks on “media elitists,” “leftists in the media,” Democrats and “their friends in the liberal media,” “liberals in the media” and “liberal outside groups.”
Plus this one in boldfaced type: “Some at the local Missouri-based paper in Kansas have even taken to openly rooting for the Kansas economy to fail.” Wonder which media property he’s talking about?
His critics, the governor said, “can’t stand a conservative governor who leads with honesty and integrity.”
Brownback makes the point that the media are ignoring positive things happening in the state.
His top example: “Cut income taxes by over 30% for all Kansans while eliminating the income tax for 388,000 of the poorest Kansans.”
Others include creating more jobs, lowering the unemployment rate, supporting gun rights, funding schools “at historic levels of over $4 billion per year,” enacting a property tax lid for local governments, holding the line on expansion of Obamacare and championing welfare-to-work reforms.
Kansas critics of the governor could nitpick this list all day. For instance, he does not mention any of the court-ordered issues with school funding.
But a few things are plainly missing from that list.
Here are some of the sobering realities.
Just last Wednesday, the day before this letter went out, Brownback announced that road funds would be cut by $185 million and higher education by $17 million for next year.
Because that won’t balance the budget, the governor has asked the Legislature to look at other ideas, all of them bad. They include not making a payment of almost $100 million for now into the state pension fund and slashing K-12 funding by around $57 million.
The governor’s letter also doesn’t mention the more than $1 billion already swept out of road funds in the last few years to balance the budget as well as a number of other financial tricks he’s had to employ to keep the state out of red ink.
The letter neglects the fact that the state’s own labor officials say Kansas did not gain a single job in the 12 months between March 2015 and March 2016.
Brownback’s letter says he needs the money because his 2014 campaign took on “hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.”
“I am writing to you today to ask that you continue to stand with me in the effort to move Kansas and America in the right direction. Your contribution of $2,000, $1,000, $500, $250, $50 or even $25 will show the Democrats and the liberals in the media that you support me in this effort.”
Finally, before signing off with “Best regards,” Brownback writes:
“Together, we are building a better Kansas and a better America.”
Updated Tuesday afternoon:
“The letter is intended to retire 2014 campaign debt and any funds raised will be used for that purpose,” Eileen Hawley, the governor’s communications director/press secretary, wrote to me in an email. “Money raised by the campaign cannot be used to directly support other candidates.”
Oh, one final note:
On Monday, Standard & Poor’s Rating Agencies put Kansas on its “Credit Negative” list after the revenue shortfalls were announced, bringing with them the “likelihood of structural budget deficit.”

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2016/apr/25/standard-and-poors-say-kansas-could-see-credit-rat/
TOPEKA — A national credit rating service says there's at least a 50-50 chance it could lower Kansas' AA credit rating later this year, depending on how the Legislature handles the state's current budget crisis.
The Kansas City Star reports Standard and Poor's Rating Services said Monday it had placed Kansas on a "credit watch" because of the state's budget shortfall and concerns about Gov. Sam Brownback's proposal for filling the gap.
New revenue estimates for the state recently projected a $290 million budget shortfall through June 2017.
Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley says the governor has presented three options for the Legislature to consider in balancing the budget.
The rating service says it will resolve the credit watch in 90 days, based on the Legislature's actions.
We'll find out in 90 days.

Moodys(known liberal rag):
Moody's Investors Service on Tuesday slapped a negative outlook on Kansas' Aa2 credit rating, citing the state's reliance on one-shot measures to balance its budget.
That followed action late last month by Standard & Poor's, which put Kansas' AA rating on review for a possible downgrade after the state lowered its revenue estimates for the current and next fiscal year by $228.7 million.
Governor Sam Brownback plans to divert $185 million in sales tax revenue from the state' highway fund to the general fund and delay a $96.5 million fiscal 2016 pension payment to help fill the gap.
"By continuing to balance its budget with unsustainable, nonrecurring resources, including pension underfunding, it is accumulating large and expensive long-term liabilities that it will be paying off for a long time," Moody's said in a statement.
The credit rating agency also revised the outlook on $2.1 billion of Aa2-rated Kansas highway revenue bonds to negative from stable.
The Kansas budget is feeling the effects from action taken by Brownback and the Republican-controlled legislature in recent years to cut corporate and other income taxes to help the state compete with bordering Missouri and other states for business development and jobs.

To launch a recall effort, supporters must submit the following:
-An application indicating the targeted official
-Statement of grounds for recall not to exceed 200 words
-Statement that sponsor is resident of Kansas and eligible to vote
-Designation of recall committee with three sponsors
-List of 100 sponsors to circulate petition
-Signatures of registered voters equaling 10 percent of votes cast in last gubernatorial election
-$100 fee
The application must be submitted to the secretary of state's office, with the exception of recalls for the secretary of state's office in which case the application is submitted to the lieutenant governor's office.

I have been told by someone in local politics that the Sec State Kobach has to certify the grounds, which obviously wont happen.
Grounds for recall
In Kansas, the specific grounds for the recall of state officers are defined as follows:[2]
conviction for a felony,
misconduct in office,
incompetence, or
failure to perform duties prescribed by law.

K-12 public education should just be funded on the county level. Pay property taxes to county, county funds schools in that county.

I'm not sure if the feds would ever be intimately aware of how to fund each and every school district in the entire country. Much more manageable on a county level.

I don't think so. I heard that kck had something around 20 or so. One was a secretary and one was a janitor, both who have been there for 30+ yrs, so deserve to make more than the avg starting elementary principal, right?

I know you're crap face drunk right now, but schools employ more people than teachers. Without visiting the site again, the district has something like 4,200 teachers.

"State Budget Document" 2015-16
If you go to page 104 of the budget (signed by the superintendant) you see FTE and average salaries for personnel. It's remarkable. Teachers are paid on average only more than the bus driver category. There are almost 1000 people in the administrator or licensed professional category. For every 1 teacher fte there is 1+ non-teacher fte. What in the world is going on at these places?

IMO funding should come with strings and oversight. You don't meet some set requirements you don't get the money. Having an entire administrative staff for 60 kids is ridiculous especially when there is another school 2 miles away.

An elementary school that small shares lots of staff with other schools. I am not opposed to consolidation at all, but there are some limits. People really want their kids to go to a "neighborhood" elementary school and so it is the least likely route for consolidation.

Are you saying the state must fund them because they tax a restaurant within the district borders?
IMO funding should come with strings and oversight. You don't meet some set requirements you don't get the money. Having an entire administrative staff for 60 kids is ridiculous especially when there is another school 2 miles away.
An elementary school that small shares lots of staff with other schools. I am not opposed to consolidation at all, but there are some limits. People really want their kids to go to a "neighborhood" elementary school and so it is the least likely route for consolidation.

60 kids for a K through 5 school (I guess you're familiar with it?), 12 kids per class, too small, should be closed or fully funded by fed dollars.
Most of the fort folks are only there a year anyway, and the wives don't work. They can get their kids to one of the other schools.
-
I would assume that the local school districts of leavenworth get federal money for their schools to account for the lack of property tax lost due to the presence of a post. I know for a fact Knob Noster Missouri gets in xs of a milliion dollars due to Whiteman AFB. This is also counted as defense spending in Washington.
-
I don't get why if you think it is such a rip off, you are cool with the feds paying for it. There are tons of schools/districts in Kansas that look super inefficient because of our low population density, this is kind of a freak example due to the base.
-
There should be a minimum efficiency ratio school districts have to meet to remain eligible for state funding. Like no more than $8000 per pupil in spending, or no more than $500 per pupil in administrative overhead. Use any surplus funds to pay teachers more money or fund kpers

Yeah I don't necessarily disagree with any of that, just know that there will always be a density problem, that problem is getting worse and at some point that will break the formula unless "school" is just online or something.

I'm not sure the sparsely populated schools are the ones being operated inefficiently.
If it's irrational to keep a small school open, it has to close. No need to cow tow to the irrational.

It's an example nonetheless. I'm okay with the feds funding it because then it's essentially funded by everyone in the country instead of everyone in Kansas, which because of the increase in numbers and tax dollars available, represents less impact to me (a Kansas resident). I also consider educating the children of officers sent to Fort Leavenworth for war school a necessity in getting the most talented officers to attend. It's a small component of the overall mission.
The larger point being, that Hugoton KS probably needs that money a lot more than Fort Leavenworth does. There are probably more and larger examples for Fort Riley but I am not familiar.

Should just federally fund all schools

Jeff Blackwood, the CEO of Pathfinder Health innovations, released a public letter stating the company's intentions to move their corporate office from Kansas to Missouri because of the governor's "destructive policies."
FWIW I've never heard of this company.

Way to go KS!
More than 800 adults and children will lose mental health services with Wyandot Inc. because of budget cuts announced Wednesday.
Losses in revenue combined with Gov. Sam Brownback’s decision earlier this year to cut Medicaid reimbursement by 4 percent compelled the move, said Wyandot’s president and CEO, Randy Callstrom.
“We’ve done what we can to preserve treatment,” Callstrom said, “but there have been too many cuts to provide (the same level of) services.”

Brownback, despite promising to measure the results of a “real life experiment” in cutting taxes, has decided to cancel a quarterly report on the status of the state’s economy.
:cry:
-
he is the best at being the worst
-
Kansas’ gross state product fell behind the six-state region and the nation for the third straight year. (Kansas’ gross state product grew at a faster rate when compared to the region and the nation in three of the five years before Brownback took office in 2011).
Private industry wages in Kansas grew at a slower pace last year than they did in the region and the U.S. -- as they did during the past five years.
The number of private business establishments in Kansas trailed both the region and the nation for the last year, again continuing a five-year trend.
..............
Brownback is now said to be considering tax hikes. He has paid the deserved price for his errors, with a 26 percent approval rating, the lowest of any governor in the U.S. The people of Kansas have paid a bigger price. Undoing the harm will take a new governor and, though it may seem far-fetched, I think he should step down and make way for fresh leadership.
Absent that, all we can do is to call out misguided economic beliefs wherever they appear.

Guys, it's fine. If we get a super large amount of water this winter and gas goes back up to like $140/barrel, we will be fine.
Also, by "we", I mean like 300 of the state's citizens.

I was wondering about oil.
So, over the last fourish years, KS has produced ~45MM barrels of oil annually. Had the oil been worth another $20/bbl on average that's an additional $900MM in "sales." Any idea what that would translate into in terms of state tax revenue? Even if it meant another 10%/$90MM in revenue annually, that's only like $45 per citizen (assuming 2MM citizens in KS). Seems piddly.

No one is worried about citizens, emo.

well good news for kansas and nigeria but I have a feeling oil is going to boom again soon!
-
When the overwhelming majority of your state's economy is based upon agriculture, oil and private aircraft, and all three industries go into the shitter, your going to have a tough time making up that economic output.
The "tax experiment" has had no measurable impact upon the state other than enraging $40k p/yr hayseeds who don't realize they're paying $800 per year less in income taxes, and wasting newspaper print on the de minimis monthly budget deficits (but not de minimis surpluses).
-
well good news for kansas and nigeria but I have a feeling oil is going to boom again soon!
there has been sustained underinvestment, but there is also about nine gillion (new number i just invented) barrels in storage and the north american land drillers can bring capacity online so fast. seems more like a setup for slow appreciation than another out of control boom.

IIRC in 2015 the State took in around $30 million less than 2014 in mineral tax (oil and gas), which isn't that bad of a drop and is back in line with 2012 and 2013 levels. I also remember that sales and use tax revenue actually went up in 2015. The only reason Kansas is in the hole is because of the dismal income tax revenue thanks to Brownback's tax cuts.
Now on the county/local level the drop in O&G valuation for property tax purposes has hit them bigly.

I pay less in taxes in Missouri (work there, live in Kansas) than do in Kansas after they took away some of the deductions, even though the rate is a percentage higher in Missouri.
My property taxes have skyrocketed. Food is a lot more expensive, etc.

No, not a hayseed. I actually got a break the year before because once you cross a certain threshold over six figures, your rate went down and you got a flat refund of like $600 or something like that.
I had to do to the math because I couldn't get everything to add up right when I did my taxes until I dug into the tax tables for Missouri and Kansas. When I owed a lot more in Kansas in 2015, I compared returns to figure out what was different. In 2014, I was able to deduct much, much more, but in 2015, it was much less.
Missouri's tax rate is higher, but I'm able to deduct a lot more there. So, each year, I will owe Kansas. Which is really upsetting because they charge me for not having enough withholding, but I can't withhold anything because I don't earn income in Kansas.

You need to pay estimated taxes.

This hayseed is paying full income taxes in two states.

You get a credit for taxes paid. 2014, I owed nothing because my liability in Missouri was higher. In 2015, I owed because my liability was higher in Kansas, and I had to pay the difference.

:lol: not even the most partisan hack could say with a straight face the Brownback has done even remotely a "god job".

Tacit racism from the left, unsurprising...sad

It's basically Lawrence. Logically, every state has a worst part.

That's just what people who got stuck in Topeka say to feel better.

who resigns from a governorship to become a fake ambassador? what a weirdo.

who resigns from a governorship to become a fake ambassador? what a weirdo.
Someone who is the 2nd least approved governor in the US and wasn't going to be able to run in 2018. Smart move honestly to go from a despised governor to going to a position with no real power, responsibility, or press coverage. He can basically do nothing in obscurity now.

This really matters to you, what someone in Alaska thinks of Sammie?

Have you ever been to Topeka? My god
I've lived in Topeka for sixteen years. While it's not the best spot in the world it has treated me well. I don't see what everyone hates about it. It's more about what I can bring to the table.
-
I mean if I am looking at Topeka vs Rome, I know what I'm doing.
-
I am sad losing my governor to be the Ambassador to God. What a good thing to spend taxes on.

Sammit! Trump took another Kansas for his shi*hole. Brownie was the best over we ever had since the last one. Ambassador to Gawd. I hope God ain't a teacher. I hope Trump makes Kobach Mexican huntin czar.

Sam nearly was not voted in today as an ambassador. Pence broke the tie. We dang near had to keep him. Hope Colyer does well as new governor. I would vote for him. I wouldn't whiz down Kobach throat if his tongue was on fire, I would vote for Obama before him.

I hope all of you living in Kansas are fasting today in observance of Brownback's last day.

Well it was in direct response to the request for fasting - eating & drinking are the exact opposite of fasting. Do you think homo sex is the exact opposite of praying?
-
It's a celebration, bitches

I'm fasting the rest of the day in honor of Governor Brownback.

Sam! Help these persecuted Christians!
