"“The strenghts of the greater Kansas City area lies in the fact that we have a region that is strong,” she says, “and I think it s unfortuante that Gov. Brownback has done some of the things he’s done.”
McCaskill says her sister’s family moved to Overland Park, Kansas, for the education opportunities, and that if Kansas continues the path it’s on, it could chip away at the very reasons people move there in the first place.
“If Sam Brownback is left to his own devices, it appears to me they’re going to have to start hollowing out education because he’s on a mission to underfund i think alot of the state services in the name of no taxes,” McCaskill says. ”Ultimately businesses come to a community because they believe they can have a great quality of life and a great education for their kids, so I think in the long run a lot of this may backfire on Gov. Brownback.”
