The Legislature should proceed with caution on Gov. Sam
Brownback’s executive reorganization order for social service agencies.
Unless the administration can provide adequate answers to
several questions, lawmakers should vote to overturn the order and work out the
reorganization themselves.
The number one question is: Why are we doing this?
The Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services has
been slimmed down since the administration of Republican Gov. Bill Graves.
Gov. Brownback wants to further reduce the size of that
agency by transferring programs for the mentally ill and developmentally
disabled from SRS to a newly constituted Department of Aging.
This may or may not be necessary.
The number two question is: Is the governor’s order going to
make any difference?
