Still Topeka stupid. No money yields ignoramuses.

Our brilliant lawmakers are proposing to cut per pupil aid by about $280 per kid.    Raise taxes to fund base needs.  The Brownieflop tax cut program failed.  Kill it.  Bury it.  Get a new dog that gets the cows home.  Fund education.

Didn't brownback say he would veto this if passed?

He was noncommittal. He doesn't support it, but he didn't go so far as to say he'd veto it, either. The proposed tax hike would raise the rate from 4.6% to 4.9%. It would also raise the tax on LLCs from 0% to some other low number.

Do I really live in Topeka is the farthest I venture is Gage and spent most of my driving on 470? I don't feel like I do.

Didn't see where the LA Times picked the tremendous success story that is the Kansas tax policy. 3 months in a row of surplus tax collections!

You know they announced at the end of last year that they are changing their entire formal from tax incoming to expenditure in order to balance the books to make it look like we are hitting numbers right?

More fake news from those liberal credit agencies.

Anything concerning a news article or opinion out of California is drop crap.  No one from California has the credibility to preach to another state anything about budgets.  We need more money for education.  Coward legislators need to do it.  The money should not be without strings.  I favor ending teacher tenure.  We have some poor teachers in the classroom who should be made to improve or get a job castrating cats at an animal clinic.

[ednksu]

It's clear you don't understand why tenure is there, and it's going to become more apparent with the new shitbags we have leading the DOE.


But yeah, Cali can lecture states like Kansas all they want when their house is in better order and they aren't sucking off the Federal tit getting more money then they send it.

California is only $366 billon in the hole, and that's just for state retirement benefits. Good role model for other states.
