The Council of Economic Advisors chaired by Brownback will no longer compile and distribute a Kansas-specific review of economic markers picked by the administration and championed as an accountability test of its economic vision.
“A lot of people found them helpful, but a lot of people were confused by them,” said Nicole Randall, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Commerce.
Online publication of “Indicators of the Kansas Economy” was suspended during Brownback’s challenging re-election campaign in 2014 but remained available upon request from the commerce department. The agency, which staffs the economic advisory council, spiked the report after releasing what turned out to be the final edition in May.
