Senate OKs budget with tax gaps and battle lines
Senate approved a budget plan to send to the House, narrowing a roughly $700 million deficit to about $306 million to $416 million by next fiscal year end. The vote showed sharp divisions, with critics decrying cuts while supporters urged action. Negotiations and revenue plans remain unsettled as lawmakers prepare to craft a final package. The plan would raise $335 million via taxes including income, sales, and cigarettes, and adds $8 million for a senior prescription drug aid expansion matched by $12 million in federal funds to help about 30,000 Kansans.
