Kansas chief justice warns against judiciary budget cuts
Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss warned lawmakers that budget cuts to the judicial branch would force court closures and furloughs, jeopardizing a multi-year review of court operations and a workload study. He urged preserving a 5.2 percent budget increase to $131.5 million, noting cuts could halt progress and affect access to justice. The plan includes a January 2012 data release and a 24-member commission examining court offices, hours, and technology to cut costs.

Kansas Parents Challenge Kansas Education Spending Cap
A Shawnee Mission parents group sues to block the state property tax cap on school funding arguing it violates their rights as property owners and leaves their district underfunded. The case, with Gov. Brownback and the Kansas Board of Education named as defendants, seeks a preliminary injunction while noting the formula aims to aid poorer districts. Judge Langstrum pressed for a remedy that preserves the funding system while allowing local excess levies.
