Editorial: Kansas governor must lead on budget choices
The Kansas governor should set priorities and fight for them instead of shying from budget decisions. Brownback calls for legislative action while avoiding specifics, leaving a multi year gap of 279 million this year and 436 million next year. He must present a balanced, funded two year plan or accept necessary cuts, embracing leadership rather than shifting responsibility.
