(KAIR)--A special guest in Atchison Thursday, as Kansas Governor Sam Brownback served as the featured speaker during the afternoon's Rotary Club Meeting.
Brownback took the opportunity to tout his policies, using a slide show presentation to highlight his side of his controversial plans.
Brownback placed blame on Kansas' current economic state on various factors, including commodity prices, the oil market, and primarily the state's dwindling population.
During his presentation, the Governor also defended his record on K-12 funding, expressed pride in the work of the Kansas Department of Transportation, and outlined his goal to relocate the American Royal to the Agriculture Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs.
Following the presentation, the Governor accepted questions from the Rotary members followed by the weekly meeting's conclusion.
