Compromise Kansas budget heads to governor approval
A $10.2 billion compromise state budget trims overall spending by 0.3 percent and heads to Gov. Sebelius after Senate approval 32-8 and House 98-26. It follows most agency and program recommendations, includes a 3 percent state worker pay raise, but leaves education and transportation funding to be resolved before early May adjournment. The plan differs from Sebelius on Smart Start spending, with no added funds for that program.
