KS Governor Brownback: Back to Brown vs. the Board of Education?

According to The Star a couple days ago: "Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback waded into the complex waters of school finance Wednesday with a sweeping new plan that would give Johnson County schools their long-sought ability to raise more taxes locally." And while that all seems well and good for the Johnson County schools, what happens to all the rest of the counties across Kansas, particularly the ones who don't have nearly the affluence of that county? Doesn't this potentially set up counties in Kansas with school districts that are less well-equipped, because of their inability to raise as much money? So what you end up with are achieving, wonderful schools in wealthier counties and struggling schools--and so, students--in the less affluent counties. Does "separate but equal" sound familiar here to anyone else?
