I am not sure most people realize just how far into the red the Brownback experiment pushed Kansas, and how far we have rebounded under Gov. Kelly's leadership.
The turnaround is nothing short of remarkable.

We went from one of the worst-positioned states in the entire country to near the middle of the pack, with fiscal forecasts now showing a bright future instead of more doom & gloom.

She also ended the practice of using KDOT as a bank, and using various other fiscal tricks that Brownback used to keep things from looking even worse but that would have been fiscal time bombs over the long term.
Even more remarkable, she did it w/one hand tied behind her back in terms of #ksleg refusing to expand Medicaid (which would have been a fiscal windfall, esp. b/c her budget already accounted for all of the state's costs) & slashing investment in higher education funding.
Not to mention the incompetent #ksleg failed to legalize sports betting & cannabis, both of which would have brought in tens of millions of dollars to boost the budget.
Imagine what she would be able to do if we gave her a better #ksleg to work with! #AxeTheFoodTax #LegalizeIt
