Arts undercut

Looks like Brownback is going to try to get his way by vetoing funding for the Kansas Arts Commission. The Senate could override the veto, but maybe not in the House.

Sen. Abrams, who voted to abolish the arts commission as part of budget cuts and replace it with a private foundation, predicted that it might lose all funding if that didn't happen.

He might be right.

Kasha Kelley, though, has spoken favorable of continuing funding for the arts commission, and could provide a strong conservative voice to restore it.
