Brownback Wagle relationship shows signs of mending
In Kansas, Governor Sam Brownback and Senate President Susan Wagle have moved from past clashes over tax plans and budget ideas toward a tentative reconciliation. The pair, both Republicans, previously sparred on structural funding and education funding, with lawmakers facing a $1 billion shortfall and a June Supreme Court deadline to craft a new school funding plan. If cooperation continues, progress on funding education and balancing the budget could accelerate ahead of May 1 legislative return.
