Graves budget plan faces veto threat as House advances
In Topeka the House tentatively approved a plan to close a 206 million gap in the state budget and sent two trailer bills toward final action. Gov. Graves warned he would veto if the bill reached his desk, saying the package is fiscally irresponsible and would cut local aid and hurt vulnerable Kansans. House members dismissed the veto threat and restored 4.2 million in higher education funding, arguing the plan still funds state universities and community colleges.
