At Least We Aren't Kansas

As much as I've been critical of the choices our Oklahoma leaders have made in emphasizing tax cuts over education spending, I am thankful we aren't in Kansas. As Nicholas Johnson from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' Off the Charts blog, Kansas legislators are even less supportive of education these days:

"Kansas legislators passed a plan this past weekend to drain the state’s reserves, cut taxes for the rich, raise taxes for many lower-income families, and slash education in the process.  The state is on a path to ruin unless it changes course."

At least it's not that bad here...not yet anyway.
