Kansas House overides veto of Gov Sam Brownback

Source: Wichita Eagle,Topeka Capital

The House struck back at Gov. Sam Brownback on Wednesday, voting to override his veto of a massive package of tax increases to fill the states budget shortfall. Brownback vetoed House Bill 2178 in a news conference Wednesday morning after announcing his veto plans Tuesday night.

A little more than an hour later, the House voted 85-40 to override, clearing the minimum threshold of 84 votes. The Senate must also vote to override the veto with a two-thirds majority before the bill can be forced into law.

Brownback slammed the tax bill as a “punitive” increase. He called on lawmakers to work with him to find a solution and said his budget proposal offers a structurally-balanced budget by 2019 – a contention some lawmakers reject. He also called for lawmakers to look for savings.

Trust me,those of us here in Brownbackistan have been watching this like a hawk. Now the Senate MUST do their job which I have doubts will happen. There are 40 Senators,32 Rep and 8 Dems.

Trump voters WANT a minimum wage increase. Seriously?!?!?!

Trump TOLD these people over and over and over that the current MW is TOO HIGH. He also told them he was going to toss Obama care in the trash can ASAP. NOW....his voters want BOTH. My gawd.................

"Lee County, where Beattyville is located, went overwhelmingly (81%) for Trump. Around town, there are frequent sightings of men wearing red "Trump" or "Make America Great Again" hats. Even in this red Kentucky enclave, many Trump voters here want to see the minimum wage raised."

Melania suing for $150 Million....

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/07/politics/melania-trump-lawsuit-earning-potential/index.HTML

But Harder and a White House spokeswoman -- in identically worded statements -- both denied the first lady intends to profit while in her current position, despite language used in the suit to imply she would be pocketing millions in endorsement money while her husband is in office.
"The first lady has no intention of using her position for profit and will not do so," said Harder, whose firm, Harder Mirell & Abrams is representing Trump. "Any statements to the contrary are being misinterpreted."

Her rep is damaged forever because of the "escort" claim that guy made on-line and the Daily Mail also published. Well hell....Obama should SUE her ass for $200M..................
