And Brownback said he didn't want any Democratic votes. Reaching across the aisle for votes "is not the way you want to go," Brownback said to the House GOP caucus.
"Show the state of Kansas that Republicans can govern and they can govern as a team," he said. Republicans hold large majorities in the House and Senate.
The spending plan for the fiscal year that starts July 1 would cut funding to schools, social services and numerous other areas.

The budget passed the Kansas House late last night. The thugs own this one. 6% cut to education.
