The election—the important one, for Republican candidates for the Kansas House and Senate in August 2016—is just starting to heat up.
No, not many candidate filings yet, no radio and Internet commercials or those little brochures stuck in the screen door—but that election is starting right now.
Reason? It’s that of the 97 Republicans in the Kansas House and the 32 Republicans in the Senate, the governor-approved tax package this session just passed by one vote in each chamber. That means 34 of those current House Republicans didn’t vote for the governor’s tax plan; 11 Senate Republicans didn’t, either. (No Democrats voted for the package.)
Hmmm…
