Budget concerns loom as Kansas lawmakers face shortfall
Kansas legislators, warned by Rep. Russ Jennings, Rep. Don Hineman, and Rep. Don Mineman, anticipate revenue deficits for the coming year. They consider cuts, fund transfers from transportation and other agencies, and possible tax increases. The fiscal year shows receipts $84.2 million below estimates, totaling $3.6 billion through February. A tobacco settlement fund swap could be needed, risking the Endowment for Youth and Children’s Initiatives. The Senate bill aims to repurpose tobacco funds to balance the budget while preserving school aid, amid court-ordered, June 30 fixes to equalize funding revenues across districts. Lawmakers plan to address potential vetoes this month.
