This Governor Has An Agenda

Surprise, surprise. Governor Sam Brownback, (R, Kansas) has plumetted to a 34% approval rating among his constituents since he was elected in 2010. It would appear that his plan to tax the wealthy even less while cutting budgets for schools and cutting health benefits for disabled children has not been as popular among Kansans as he had previously thought. Also, the governor's attacks on the healthcare choices of women have hit a sour note with a few citizens. Add some tacky public religious posturing a hollow sounding, pharisaical prayer, throw in a twittergate moment, and it seems that we have a governor who is somewhat less popular than he was a couple of years ago. An interesting and disturbing comment about this was made by Minority House Leader, Paul Davis; "This governor has an agenda, and he's not going to let bad poll numbers interfere with that." What the hell does he mean by that? It's obvious that "letting bad poll numbers interfere" would be taking the voters' wishes into account and actually caring about the will of the constituents Brownback represents, but what is this "agenda" to which Davis refers? Does it have anything to do with the Koch Brothers?
