John,
Yesterday, Kansas House Republicans voted to override Governor Kelly's veto of their heavily gerrymandered Ad Astra 2 congressional redistricting map, ignoring the will of Kansans and damning taxpayer dollars to a court fight they can't win.
The map only passed due to backroom dealings, with Senators flip-flopping their votes under questionable circumstances to accomplish their own political goals.
This is what KDP Chairwoman Vicki Hiatt had to say on the blatant corruption:
“The blatant corruption from our representatives over the past few days has been disappointing but not surprising. Republicans in the House and Senate have ignored calls from Kansans since the beginning of this process. The Ad Astra 2 map is a slap in the face to Kansans across the state who have begged for their communities to stay intact. The passing of Ad Astra 2 has all but damned Kansas taxpayer dollars to be wasted on a court battle Republicans won't win. We look forward to this undemocratic and gerrymandered map being thrown out in court, and for legislators to work together on new, fair maps."
