Governor Sam Brownback highlighted what he calls a “crisis of the family” during his inauguration speech Monday reports Stephen Koranda for Kansas Public Radio.
The governor was sworn in to office for a second term, he said building stronger families will be one of his main goals. Brownback says stronger families will lead to more economic growth and less poverty in Kansas.
“While many of our problems are economic -and we will be second to none in addressing them- the reality is the solutions are principally cultural and moral. While it isn’t always easy to talk about, we should be talking about our culture and its renewal,” says Brownback.
Brownback didn’t talk about any legislation he’ll propose. He’ll outline his legislative plans during the State of the State address Thursday night.
