TOPEKA, KAN. – The Kansas chapter of the grassroots group Americans for Prosperity has prepared a ‘policy primer’ to help Kansans understand what Kansas spends on transportation in the state, and how our state compares with others in the region.
Derrick Sontag, AFP-Kansas state director, said Kansas has had a comprehensive highway or transportation plan for twenty years now.
“There are many in Topeka who believe that the simple act of building new roads and highways spurs economic growth, but the numbers suggest otherwise,” he said. “For example, between 2002 and 2006 Kansas ranked eighth in the country in highway spending per capita, yet our Gross State Product growth lagged at 33rd.”

Brownback is a co-sponsor of the 72-Hour Transparency Resolution, which would require all pending Congressional legislation to be posted online and scored by the Congressional Budget Office 72 hours prior to its consideration in a committee or before the full chamber. The rule could be over-ridden in the case of emergency legislation.

The commission has approved its 2010 budget, with a mill levy reduction of .549 mills, bringing the total mill levy below 30 mills. Commissioners also voted to eliminate the county’s taxpayer-funded lobbyist for 2010, which helped trim the budget to below $400 million.
