Kansas House tightens rules amid shrinking budget gap
The Kansas House approved new operating rules on a 76-45 vote to curb floor amendments that raise spending without offsets. Budget projections shown a January gap decline from 550 million to 492 million dollars. Speaker Mike O Neal and supporters framed the move as fiscal discipline for 2011 and 2012. Critics argued it gives the Appropriations Committee too much sway and could hobble tax cut plans without offsets.
