Kansas taxes aim to emulate Florida or Texas editorial

It cites lower poverty and unemployment in Kansas, comparable incomes, and mixed school outcomes, noting Kansas education funding worries and Missouri comparisons. The author cautions the strategy may misdirect attention from sustaining public schools and quality of life.
