Sen. Brownback would have denied lifeline to unemployed Kansans
TOPEKA – The following is a statement from Kansas Democratic Party Executive Director Kenny Johnston regarding today’s news that the Kansas Department of Labor has received nearly $69 million for the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund:
“If Sam Brownback had his way, these resources wouldn’t be coming to Kansas. When Sam Brownback voted against the Recovery Act, he voted against this money going to help Kansans who have been laid off. In this time of record unemployment, what kind of leader would vote against a lifeline for his constituents? Kansans need more from their leaders than a litany of “NO” votes – we need someone who puts progress before politics."
