Graves trims Kansas deficit through 2003 budget moves
Kansas Governor Bill Graves acted to close a looming general fund deficit for the 2002-03 year. He cut about 40 million in August across education, social services and prisons, then 78.1 million in November from various agencies while withholding 48 million from cities and counties and delaying a 94.6 million highway loan repayment. He also proposed transferring 35.1 million from other funds, including tobacco settlement and nursing home grants, to eliminate the shortfall.

Group seeks injunction to block Kansas social services cuts
Advocates suing Kansas state over disabled services returned to Shawnee County court Friday to stop budget reductions directed by outgoing Governor Bill Graves. They seek an order blocking $32.6 million in cuts from a $2.1 billion SRS budget, arguing current funding is illegal and at least $88 million more is needed to meet legal standards.
