Kansas re-elected its governor during the recent midterm elections, and they are now facing budget projections worse than expected.
Kansas will face a $279 million budget shortfall by July, far worse than state officials had thought before a new revenue forecast Monday that will force Gov. Sam Brownback and legislators to consider spending cuts.
The state will also be required to close an even bigger additional gap — $436 million — during the following 12 months, according to the new forecast.
Aides to the Republican governor, who narrowly won re-election last week, said his administration will work in the next weeks to find savings while trying to protect funding for schools and core programs.
Why did Kansans re-elect the governor? TYT video takes a look.
OK, Fine. 
They get what they deserve. Sorry, Kansas. You knew what this fellow was all about, but you re-elected him.
I’m not an expert on it, but that’s how I see it.
These south-central areas of the United States are also some of the poorest. Why would they vote for a guy who’s all about helping the wealthy pay less tax? Now they are having budget problems with the schools, etc.
