That's despicable. Sebelius campaign on no tax increases. Where were they?

No she didn't. She said she was going to form a committee to find waste in government, then go from there. If a tax increase was needed, then that's what we'd do. Unlike Shallenburger, she refused to sign a "No New Tax Pledge." I have no doubt she will propose a tax increase. Interestingly enough, Bill Graves refused to sign the pledge too.

When Kathleen first ran for insurance commissioner in 1994, she did the same ploy. One of her main campaign themes was that she was going to form a committee to study how to bring more insurance companies to Kansas. Oh, how wonderful, except we've LOST companies, not gained. These next four years should be interesting, to say the least.

You are right, axel f. But it was my understanding that she said she thought she could do it without raising taxes even though she refused to sign a no-tax pledge. You and I and everyone else with any sense knew that meant she would raise taxes, but it saved her from explain which taxes and exactly how much.
