  1. The state’s public education system, once considered one of the best in the nation, hasn’t been spared, either. You’ll hear claims from Kansas officials that funding to education is at an all time high, but it’s just an accounting trick – they chose to shuffle money for special education and retirement funds through the schools so it could appear as an increase on the books… cuts and delays in $100 million in payments to the state-run retirement fund

    Your fiscally responsible Republicans at work!

    /FFS

  2. Bravo to Mr. Blackwood for his responsible decision to relocate while, very publicly, calling out the Republican villains who have wreaked havoc on Kansas. In awesome fashion, he concludes his blog post:

    I can’t, in good conscience, continue to give our tax money to a government that actively works against the needs of its citizens; a state that is systematically targeting the citizens in most need, denying them critical care and reducing their cost of life as if they’re simply a tax burden that should be ignored.

    It’s because of these moves that I have decided to deny Kansas revenue from Pathfinder’s taxes by moving our company to Missouri. Sure, our company taxes are a drop in the bucket, but I do not, in any way, support the Brownback administration’s actions.

    I believe that it is the responsibility of business owners and people with some voice in society should speak up against these destructive policies. And I believe it is far past the time that Sam Brownback and his cronies admit the damage they’ve caused to the people of Kansas and resign in the shame they deserve.

    Nice mic drop at the end. But I doubt Brownback or his cronies have enough decency to be shamed by it.

    1. I know this doesn't really call for wonk- analysis, but………..it looks like the ramp on the left shoulda been the launch ramp. If it held together, it looks like it would have gotten the jeep up into the air , at least.

  3. Yeah, I'd be all , like, dude, vectors and momentum an arc, an' shit, man……….gimme 'nother beer……..
