Brownback Gets An ‘A’ For Politically Dangerous Tax Cuts
http://dailycaller.com/2014/10/02/brownback-gets-an-a-for-politically-dangerous-tax-cuts/
There is no doubt that the Cato Institute agrees with Brownback’s plan to eliminate the state income tax. But his alternate revenue sources haven’t panned out. And in a state where over 60% of the spending goes to education then that means cutting per pupil funding. That is not going over very well with the electorate. Or the credit rating agencies, as you pointed out.
