Democrats cautioned they were heading back to the atrophied years of tax cuts that defined the era when Sam Brownback was governor.
“I worry that we always seem to flirt with the same problem that we had with the last recession in 2008 when we came back and gave tax cuts,” Sen. Tom Hawk, a Manhattan Democrat said, “ and then our state did not recover as rapidly as those around us.”
But Caryn Tyson, the Republican chair of the tax committee, said that was just “gloom and doom.”
“That’s money that’s going to come back into the Kansas economy,” Tyson said, “not be used to grow government.”

Is there anything that breeds more cognitive dissonance in the heads of business prognosticators than the performance of the California economy?
The question is inspired by the release of yet another survey placing California in the basement among states as measured by their receptivity to business.
This one comes to us from Chief Executive magazine via its annual “best & worst states for business” survey.
The Golden State often ends up at the bottom of Chief Executive’s list of the Best and Worst States, . [but] there is no shortage of companies eager to invest in new projects and expand here.

Ditch Shell
Dear Sir Ian Blatchford: Scientists for Extinction Rebellion send open letter to the Science Museum Group calling for an end to Shell sponsorship.
As a community of scientists working across many different disciplines, we are passionate about passing on the wonders of science to future generations. Many of us were inspired as children by eye-opening experiences at the Science Museum. We truly believe it is world-class. One of the most significant and inclusive aspects is that free entry allows access to anyone. In short, we love the Science Museum.
After a year of a pandemic and with two major COP summits on the horizon, we are excited to see the museum reopen with a landmark exhibition on the climate emergency and what to do about it. But it is with great disappointment that we see the museum would allow its reputation to be tarnished by allowing this exhibit to be sponsored by Royal Dutch Shell.
