Full statement:
“Governor Sam Brownback held a news conference this afternoon for a celebratory signing of the proclamation to bring the Kansas Legislature back for a special session on September 3rd at a cost of $40,000 per day to Kansas taxpayers.
“This is an unprecedented diversion tactic. It’s pretty clear that Governor Brownback is putting on a show so he can deflect peoples’ attention away from the controversy surrounding his selection of a nominee for the Kansas Court of Appeals."
