National Weather Service reports varied rain with some hail across southwest Kansas overnight. Quarter-sized hail observed near the Stevens Seward county line and heavy rain in Hugoton and Liberal.

County and city officials weigh two funding requests. The Buxton study aims at broad community retail needs with a $60,000 price tag, while Downtown Vision seeks $160,000 for 2004–2008 to join Kansas Main Street with expected benefits and accountability. County funds are tight, and both initiatives clash with budget limits.
Local officials expect the 467th to return as late as Monday with a parade ending at Garden City Community College or the Army Reserve Center on Fulton Street.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed a $10.2 billion budget for the next fiscal year and vetoed a provision to resume printing state telephone directories.

Lawmakers return April 28 to complete a final cleanup bill and address last minute spending.
County commissioners hold off on approving a second senior center building as voters previously rejected a 1 mill building fund.
