Calendar of Events for your consideration:
In case you missed hearing Steven J. Anderson, Director, Kansas Division of the Budget discuss an “Overview of the Budget Directors Office” at last Friday’s Pachyderm luncheon meeting, you can still view the presentation courtesy of the Kansas Watchdog. Paul Soutar, investigative reporter for the http://kansas.watchdog.org/ sent the two youtube video links below of Steve Anderson’s excellent presentation at last Friday’s (July 19, 2011) Pachyderm Club luncheon meeting with his permission to share them with my email contacts. In contrast to the report in today’s Wichita Eagle article, I think Governor Brownback’s Budget Director did an outstanding job detailing the governor’s plan to implement budgetary reforms and to take the steps necessary to make our state more competitive, and position our state on the right path for economic growth. Please take a look for yourself at the videos and be sure to log into the Kansas Watchdog.org site sometime soon for the youtube video of questions and answers the budget director fielded at the Pachyderm meeting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xy6CcmZZdk
