Budget director hints at bridge for budget gap in Kansas
Kansas budget director Shawn Sullivan told Senate Republicans he seeks a bridge over the current year shortfall of more than 340 million dollars. He met with GOP leaders before the session as lawmakers weigh one-time revenue options and possible tax policy changes to spur growth while Gov Brownback defends tax policy. Senate leaders say no specifics were offered on how the bridge would be funded, amid debate over using unclaimed property, tobacco settlement securitization, and other one-time sources. Wagle warns against borrowing to cover deficits, while Estes notes legislative action may be needed to access funds.
