Lawrence Journal-World opinion section

To the editor:

It’s time to recall or impeach Gov. Brownback. He is incompetent and unqualified to lead our state any longer.

His plan to raid transportation, education, health, retirement, tobacco tax and all other state agencies (did I miss any?) to shore up the budget is just a thinly veiled plan to shrink government and reduce taxes permanently. His plan is working just like he hopes it will, and he no longer represents the path most Kansans want to take. The ball is now in our legislators’ court, and we are watching to see who else chooses to go down this path to destruction. It will take years to repair the damage already done, and, if he is not stopped, it will take decades.

The people of Kansas deserve better. We deserve a common-sense leader and Legislature who will do what is right for the long term. It is time for all Kansans who want a better future than what our governor is offering to be heard. Recall or impeach. Our governor is no longer capable of sensible leadership. We need a change NOW.
