Kansas ranked 16th in Cato report amid budget cuts and tax concerns
The Cato Institute's Freedom in the 50 States index places Kansas 16th, up nine spots since 2012, amid fiscal warnings. Gov. Brownback plans a 5 percent agency budget cut as revenue shortfalls widen, with CRE underestimating 2014 tax receipts by 241 million and FY2016 general fund gaps totaling hundreds of millions. Kansas faces reduced social services and higher college debt despite the index boost.
