38. The Kansas state constitution requires a balanced budget.

Typical insane conservative bullshit. Lower taxes and revenues and then complain how you can't afford money for schools or social programs. So tired of this crap. You also have to love Brownback, he basically married into money. I remember years ago a story about how his inlaws contributed like 200k to the RNC and low and behold a 200k check made it to Sam. Guy never worked a day in his life.
