        Brownback Approval In The Dumps

      In a poll released this week by Public Policy Polling, 52% of Kansans 
indicated that they disapproved of the job Governor Sam Brownback is doing as 
governor of Kansas.



      "Kansans are common sense people who can see the disastrous consequences 
of Governor Brownback's policies," KDP Chair Joan Wagnon said. "Kansans are 
waking up to the fact that Governor Brownback is raising taxes on middle- and 
lower-income Kansans to pay for tax breaks for his wealthy supporters. This 
poll is proof that Kansans see through the fairy tale Brownback is spinning and 
understand his policies will hurt Kansas students, Kansas workers, and Kansas 
families."


      Some of the other more interesting findings of the PPP poll: "Brownback’s 
plan to phase out the state’s income tax is almost as unpopular as he is, with 
48% of voters opposed and 37% supportive. 65% of moderates and 56% of 
independents oppose the plan. Even 34% of somewhat conservative voters and 28% 
of Republicans are opposed to the proposal to overhaul the income tax."

      The full Public Policy Polling release and poll can be found here.

      Remembering Beth Bradrick, 
      Co-Founder Of The D Wild Ones

      The Kansas Democratic Party lost an invaluable and irreplaceable member 
this week when Beth Bradrick, co-founder of the D Wild Ones and a lifelong 
champion of the KDP, passed away at Sunset Manor In Frontenac, Kansas on 
Monday, February 25 surrounded by her immediate family. The KDP and Kansas are 
stronger because of Dr. Bradrick's energy and commitment and she will be deeply 
missed in southeast Kansas and in the Kansas Democratic Party.
