Here is the text of a letter Gov. Kathleen Sebelius sent to state employees on Wednesday. It was provided through Wichita State University.
February 17, 2009 Colleagues, This is a difficult time for Kansas families, seniors and many others who are dealing each day with the economic challenges presented by the recession. As a state employee, I know that you are already dealing with the challenges of more limited resources in your agency.
Last week, I called a meeting of the State Finance Council to approve moving money from one account to another so the State can pay its bills, including State Employee payroll, on time. This routine budget action has been approved every year for the last ten years. And we told legislative leaders in December, when they cut my request in half, that we would need a certificate by mid-February. Yesterday, legislative leadership told me they would not approve this transfer until I sign the 2009 budget bill. The problem is – the bill has not been delivered to my desk, so I have nothing to sign. As a result of this action, State Employee payroll, which is due Friday, is now in jeopardy. I want to assure you that I am and always have been an advocate for state employees. I know the important work you do each day benefits countless people across this great state. I will continue to be an advocate for you and for numerous other groups affected by this irresponsible action. I hope this will be resolved quickly and I will continue to do everything I can to ensure a responsible, timely solution to this situation. In the mean time, I hope that we can all continue to provide the best service possible to the Kansans that rely on us each day. Sincerely, //s// Kathleen Sebelius Governor

The Governor didn’t like Senator Huelskamp talking about her son and his little drop the soap game. But the Governor doesn’t mind that citizens are screaming about the illegal seizure of children with falsified documents by SRS workers. Her state employees! These falsified documents have cost the tax payers millions of dollars in court fees, welfare, drugging of children, judges, srs workers, cso’s, gals, court appointed attorneys, youthville and other contractors, etc…just to pay her state employee wages. The Governor has full knowledge of these Nazi acts being committed against children and families. Yet she was outraged that a Senator would question the legality of the soap game her son created feeling that the Senator was attacking her adult son? How would she feel if her child was illegally taken on falsified documents? The public should be screaming about the devastation of childrens lives by our government and the expense it has cost!
Shelley Duncan, Youthville CEO, made over $149,000 in 2005. Youthville contracts for the state of Kansas to illegally keep children in foster care. What is crazy is that Youthville is contracted to “reintegrate” children back into the home but yet these CRAZY SOCIALIST WORKERS lie to parents, humilitate parents, deny parents their constitutional rights to their childrens medical records and MORE!!! We pay with tax dollars for these workers. In 2005 the wages to Youthville alone cost Kansas tax payers over $14.5 million!!! If the tax payers of Kansas don’t care about the children, then I hope they care about their money and they can THANK GOVERNOR SEBELIUS FOR LETTING THIS NAZI GOVERNMENT ILLEGALLY TAKE CHILDREN FROM FAMILIES WHICH HAS CAUSED A DEFICIT.
