Census estimates show Kansas at 2.9 million in 2015, up 9,134 from the prior year and 58,509 since 2010, driven mainly by international migration. Political scientists warn the gains rely on immigration while domestic growth lags, with concerns about tax cuts and funding for schools and services.

Boot Hill Casino wins use tax ruling over gaming machines
A Kansas Court of Appeals panel ruled Boot Hill Casino and Resort in Dodge City does not owe the compensating use tax on electronic gaming machines operated for the Kansas Lottery. The ruling follows the Board of Tax Appeals, which found Boot Hill merely manages the equipment, not owns it, under a 1987 Lottery Act provision. The decision notes the Lottery owns the machines and pays Boot Hill a share of gross gambling proceeds.
