Gov. Brownback does the right thing on mental health care


News from The Kansas City Star this week:


And thank goodness. 

For so long, Governor "I don't have a soul--or heart" Brownback has only been all about cutting services and budgets for schools and social services, nearly ad infinitum.  

Now, with this, finally, finally he's putting a bit back.

 And we know it's because Wayne LaPierre and his National Rifle Association (the NRA) called out mental illness as the big issue we need to resolve in the nation, of course. The last thing it could possibly be is the proliferation of far too many guns, could it?  Heavens, no.

This will help him further with his attempt to get more and more on the national stage, so to speak, for his hopeful 2016 presidential run, certainly.

But anyway, fortunately, thankfully now, the Guv is going to plow money back into the people and not just the wealthy and corporations. 

It only brings up a couple questions, however. 

First, where, exactly, is he going to get this ten million dollars? 

He slashed millions in incoming tax revenues by slashing the tax bills for those same wealthy and corporations mentioned above. 

Where did he get this money? What is he taking it from? 

Who's going to do without, if anyone, so he could come up with this money?

Inquiring minds--and Kansans--want, no, need to know.
