At the end of the day Kansas Governor shifts blame for State's problems, refuses compromise

It is still Thursday, June 11, and as the day is approaching the evening, the Governor has just doubled down on the legislative mess that he has helped to create.

Before a joint GOP House and Senate caucus, the Governor  essentially said there will be no compromise, that the work of the Senate or the proposals he has offered thus far are perfectly fine, and the House must act before the week is out.

Reports from the caucus meeting indicate that Gov. Brownback:


  • Once again threatened deep cuts to important education and social service budgets, 
  • Blamed the State's problems on Medicaid, schools and Obama, and 
  • Reiterated his view that there will be NO compromise. 


Something may break later today, after sufficient other things are first broken, but know this, its a mess and the likely outcomes will be a mess which will have to be addressed again if not in a special session then surely as the first order of business in January 2016.

Stay tuned to your local media outlets, and your internet news services and follow along as this soap opera approaches its sordid sad ending today or tomorrow or Saturday or Sunday?
