Attempt to resurrect presidential primary falls short
Kansas lawmakers debated reviving the 2008 presidential primary with a $1.6 million funding request to reimburse counties. The House Appropriations Committee rejected the proposal, while another panel later restored aid in its final budget. Supporters say Kansans want a say in nominations. opponents note party rules may ignore primary results. The issue overlapped with broader budget debates and deferred university maintenance needs.
