Kansas eyes federal aid as Zika infections rise
Nearly a dozen Kansas residents have been infected with Zika as health officials fight the spread. No local, mosquito-transmitted cases found yet. Kansas received about 1.2 million dollars from the federal government for the Zika response while nationwide funding totals run into tens of millions. Most cases are travel-related, with the bulk in northeast Kansas and only a few in other regions. Officials say the money aims to curb any rise in state cases.

The program helps identify autism in children and reduces travel for families. Administrators propose 5 percent cuts to three cabinet programs, totaling about 833,181, risking fewer families served and about 20 fewer appointments next year.
