Commentary: More Half Truths

[Sigh] Once again, Governor Sebelius is at it, claiming that she was responsible for the Legislature coming up with a plan that funded the public schools. Unfortunately, her role in the process was relatively limited. She forced the Legislature to stay in extra session. That's it. Not a bad thing to do, but she certainly was not as involved as she tries to make herself sound to be in her commercial. She did not work to help the Legislature craft a proposal, nor did she put forth a reasonable comprommise proposal. She just said, "Keep working," and then sat back while the liberals and moderates battled the conservatives.
It's sad that such unrealistic claims are being put forth by the Sebelius campaign. It's not surprising, however, since politicians are notorious for putting spin on everything. I only hope the voters of Kansas are smart enough not to believe such misrepresentations.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that's not the case... :-(
