Brownback faces lapse in Kansas Children’s Cabinet party balance
Gov. Sam Brownback backtracked after acknowledging two January appointees to the Kansas Children’s Cabinet were made in error. The Republican selections would have given governors’ five voting seats a solid GOP majority, violating state law that limits the number from one party. The move followed a push to securitize annual tobacco settlement funds for childhood programs, a plan lawmakers and leaders have scrutinized amid budget pressures.
