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.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
This raises a question of significant pit import, is it circle jerk when there are only two people, or something more intimate?
what was he trying to hide?
Well, the article was pretty petty. It read like a K-S-U post about Obama.

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.
Kansas government really is spectacular news right now. It's just a shame we're not all that important on a national level. Can you imagine if it were California or something with all of this going on?

It's national now. Doonesberry did a comic about Brownback that was released this evening.
