Just another example of incompetence and treating the children of poor families as 2nd class citizens.
Looks like he will have trouble in the next election.
From tax cuts that were a disaster, to this. Why do Republicans insist on tax cuts that do not generate the expected revenue? And this was year after year. And what did they do, continued down the same path.
Expected job growth is lagging.

PRAIRIE VILLAGE, Kan. — Dinah Sykes, a parent of two boys in a suburb of Kansas City, started noticing changes to her children’s public schools a few years ago. Class sizes were growing. The school library had stopped buying books.
So she used her position as the president of the parent-teacher association to start a new tradition: Instead of bringing cupcakes to class for their birthdays, students were asked to bring a book to donate to the school library.
Ms. Sykes is a Republican who once voted for the governor from her party, Sam Brownback. But now, she said, she is so concerned that public schools are endangered by the state’s budget crisis that she is running for a seat in the State Senate, challenging the incumbent senator in the Republican primary in August.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said Brownback and conservative Republicans were now owners of tax reform the state couldn't afford. They should be held accountable if tax cuts so diminish tax revenue that state programs were gutted in the future, he said.
"Governor Brownback completely choreographed this fiscally irresponsible plan from start to finish," Davis said. "There is no feasible way that private-sector growth can accommodate the price tag of this tax cut, which means our $600 million surplus will become a $2.5 billion deficit within just five years."
However, Brownback administration officials said the law would leave $1.1 billion in the pockets of Kansans during the next two years. Officials circulated documents indicating tax changes would add 23,000 jobs by 2020. They also said their internal economic analysis indicated 35,000 people will move to Kansas in response to tax policy reform.
