It is sad what's happening in KS. I spent many years there and lower taxes would be a big incentive to help me come back. This attempt has only scared me further away, as the tax cuts almost exclusively apply to corporations instead of individuals, and as the state and many local governments have been forced to jack up sales taxes to compensate. Brownback was far too quick on the draw with this one, and his obstinance is not doing the state any favors. His main interest in the governorship was using it as campaign fodder, which it looks like he may still attempt, but which I don't think will be successful for him at this point. It is true that a combination of media hysteria and panic incited by local teacher's unions have exaggerated the impact, but it really just shows that Brownback is not a worthy political operator. The point of politics is to get what you want with minimal resistance/negative impact. If you forget that last part of things, you won't have what you want very long.
