“In a desperate attempt to remain relevant in an election year, Democrat Laura Kelly gambled with Kansas tax dollars by failing to secure even the most basic guarantees for jobs or salary minimums,” said RGA spokeswoman Joanna Rodriguez. “Kansans deserve a governor that is going to read the fine print and ensure their hundreds of millions of dollars aren’t risked on an agreement made with a wink and a nod.”
