Gov. Brownback’s experiment has failed. It will take another generation (if we’re are lucky) before the sun is shining in KS. I’m a Republican, but I don’t vote party lines, and you don’t have too either. Brownback is on his way out. The most recent poll shows him the least popular governor in the country. 65% of those polled disapprove of Brownback’s job performance. His most recent quarterly report of the state’s economy didn’t match predictions of his “real life” experiment, hence he covered it up by canceling the report.

However, there is still work to do. Kansas voters need to vote out all of Brownback’s legislative fence sitters. That would be all his Republican cronies who vote the way he expects them to vote. Their head is elsewhere, where they can’t see the sun shining if it were shining. Vote Alex Herman for State Senate, District 40 and Eber Phelps, House of Representatives, 111th District. Kansas needs change and quickly.

And our Supreme Court Justices need to be retained. By not retaining them is part of Brownback’s agenda along with his legislators to consolidate the three branches of state government into a monarchy in which the governor reigns supreme and in which he and his policies are never questioned or challenged. Vote yes to retain these judges.
