Drought Drives Kansas Farmers to Seek Work in City Jobs

Wellington farmer Hiram Simmering has filed for bankruptcy and seeks off farm work after a decade of drought. He joined a Work Opportunities for Rural Kansans program to aid 150 displaced farmers, with 50 more on a waiting list after enrollment closed. Budget strains and crop losses push many, including Simmering, toward unemployment as farm debt delinquencies rise.

Disability groups urge tax hike to fund social services

Advocacy coalition led by Big Tent Coalition urges Kansas lawmakers to raise general revenues by 101 million dollars to expand disability services and remove waiting lists. Shannon Jones notes no specific tax types, while affected individuals like Robert Jarman warn cuts jeopardize home health care and risk nursing home placement.
