Is there any hope for Kansas? I remember reading about them suffering brain drains and economic issues 10 years ago and seeing headlines like this tells me not much has changed.
My understanding is the Brownback tax cuts and education cuts were rolled back a while ago and those were what caused a lot of those problems. The current problem is the people who helped implement those cuts in the first place are now in charge of congress with enough of a majority to override a veto (which is what happened with this bill). Unless there’s a really big push to get rid of that super majority and the governor doesn’t also end up being someone who will pass this stuff, probably not much hope no.

Edit: changed mayor to governor
