Protesters rally at Capitol over Brownback policies
The Rev Sarah Oglesby-Donegan led a MoveOn.org rally at the Capitol with about 75 participants to condemn Gov. Sam Brownback’s education, welfare and budget priorities. An unofficial recall petition signed by 38,000 was delivered to the governor’s office. Protesters cited cuts to K-12 funding, pension and highway concerns, and broader inequities, while lawmakers faced a four day break before returning to tackle a $406 million deficit.
