The conservative Republican governor still touts the income tax cuts enacted in 2012 and 2013 as pro-growth policies. But voters soured last year on the governor’s policies, ousting two dozen of his allies from the legislature and giving more power to Democrats and moderate Republicans who then backed this year’s tax increase.

Brownback is an idiot and it's well known

Just because you say "providing a pattern for Trump" doesn't make it true. So take your leap in logic and go away

maddog, did you read any of the Kansas budgets passed for 2012 and 2013?

Along with the tax cuts, were there also cuts in spending? If there were no cuts in spending then all the tax cuts on earth wouldn't help a state and its government.

You need spending cuts to make the tax cuts 'work'. That part of the equation is never discussed by politicians; both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of this fact.
