Kansas lawmakers pledged to be transparent says editorial
The editor argues that despite a party switch to sign a transparency pledge, ultra conservatives in the Kansas Statehouse hinder openness. It cites a Center for Public Integrity rating of an F for state government transparency and criticizes actions such as a $400 million highway debt and a $20 million lease for a new power plant. The piece urges voters to oust Brownback followers in upcoming elections to restore accountability.
