Education and tax policy debated by Crist and Loyd
Kansas candidates Crist and Loyd clash over education funding declines and district costs, highway funding, and the use of bonds. They discuss driver cards for undocumented residents tied to education, tax increases, and Kansas marriage amendments. Crist warns against overreliance on taxes, while Loyd defends necessary public spending and transparency.

Crist argues consolidation and tax reform are needed as western Kansas faces shifting from small family farms to larger corporate ones. He cites inequities in funding and criticizes Ward Loyd for opposing a bill to boost Garden City USD 457. Crist notes public concerns on education, taxes, and a proposed constitutional marriage amendment.
