Ain't Nothing the Matter with Kansas | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Brownback at least understood that the revenue boom of 2013 had its genesis in the capital gains and dividend tax increases of that year, which had investors cash out their gains in 2012.  He even got away with it the first year.  He thought it would keep going - but that is never the case with booms.  Indeed, most Republican governors had the same idea - rather stupidly and I bet the American Legislative Exchange Council put the thought in their minds.  Brownback forgot who he works for and that is what is the matter with Kansas and the rest of the ALEC states.  No doubt he thinks if the jumps through enought hoops, he is presidential material in 2020 (no one will be running against Clinton, possibly except Palin and Christie).  We would hope that Kansas puts Brownback out of our misery, but as red as it is, I would not bet the farm on it.
