Laura Kelly, by all appearances, dished out a chilly bowl of revenge to Kansas City Rep. Marvin Robinson on Monday. The Democratic governor vetoed the quarter-million dollar provision, showing once and for all that she’s the boss. Robinson handed Republicans a plethora of overrides to pass destructive policies for Kansas children and families, so Kelly made him pay. (I should note the governor claimed the provision hadn’t been vetted and that advocates needed to “work through the proper channels.”)Five years on from her election, Kansas Republicans still haven’t figured out how to handle Kelly. Win win, as the saying goes.
