$15 million of YOUR tax dollars to be wasted sending the KS National Guard to Texas. Friends, this is a waste of your hard earned tax dollars. The southern border is a federal problem, not a Kansas problem. Our schools, our hospitals, our businesses, that we all rely upon need support far more than the state of Texas. Our National Guard is not a police force, our National Guard is made up of our neighbors and our friends. By sending troops to Texas, we create more problems here in Kansas by taking them away from their jobs that help support our state.
This is another fine example of wasteful spending because of political grandstanding by the super majority.
