As Brownback prepares to leave his job as governor for a position in the Trump Administration, he has left behind a legacy that is not even receiving plaudits from his fellow Republicans.
In this NPR report, the Brownback years in Kansas are examined:

ReplyDeleteThe same will be said of tRUMP.
Except, the Orange P*$$ygrabber was their guy all the way.
They were behind him all the way Golden Showers and all.
How or why Kansans voted for him again and again and supported his ways is beyond belief. Missouri, take note, as we are headed in the same path with a lopsided legislature with a Koch agenda governor. Heed the warning or else suffer the same fate of Kansas and not have anything of substance accomplished except laughter at your stupidity. Interesting article in "In These Times" about two states, Wisconsin and Minnesota doing exactly the opposite of one another and only one seeing a great change in their state. Wisconsin broke all environmental laws and Minnesota only tried to strengthen them and Minn. gained businesses, income, health gains and citizens with a strong feeling that their government is behind them for the good. Bye Brownback and hello screwed America

ReplyDeletePastor Sham Brownback is leaving Kansas?
Praise the Lawd!
I hear more than a few Alaskans are hoping Pastor Brownback will take Sarah Palin with him when he goes to wherever he will go to.
Sham Brownturd destroyed the Kansas economy and is sent to the hell that is the Trump Whitehouse. Seems fitting in a way. Maybe they will all be in the same room when it flushes.
ReplyDeleteBUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
ReplyDeleteGuess this coverup failed too since they did find the emails.
Or maybe someone has it in for Reverend Sham?

A Kansas Department of Commerce secretary in the administration of Gov. Sam Brownback was involved in secretly transferring a treasure trove of state data on thousands of Kansas companies, business executives and economic development specialists to the secretary’s own private consulting firm.
The Topeka Capital-Journal confirmed through documents and interviews the previously unreported maneuver was linked to Antonio Soave, who led the commerce department from 2015 until he was ousted in 2017. The records implicated the state’s top economic development official and some of his close business associates, including two who found their way onto the department’s payroll. The business intelligence assembled and maintained at Kansas taxpayer expense was shared with Capistrano Global Advisory Services, which Soave operated as chairman and CEO.
So-called target files held financial, personnel and contact information on more than 10,000 businesses useful to Soave or any consultant in Kansas seeking investment capital or offering advice on merger, acquisition or relocation opportunities. The materials, some developed with the aid of the Kansas Department of Labor and incorporating information from the Kansas Department of Revenue, would have been difficult and expensive for outsiders to replicate.
Soave, who wasn’t available for an interview, has maintained he was “very careful to comply with all existing policies” at the Department of Commerce. He defended the vigorous marketing strategies deployed while in charge of the agency. He also claimed to have helped Kansas create 10,000 jobs and $1.4 billion in capital investment during his only full year as secretary.
Emails pointing to Soave’s involvement in movement of commerce department information outside boundaries of state government were recently obtained under the Kansas Open Records Act. The documents surfaced despite assurances from the Department of Commerce in 2017 that communications sought under KORA either didn’t exist or couldn’t be found.
