Budget squeeze marks 2003 plans in Kansas legislature
Kansas lawmakers face a tough 2003 budget as revenues fall short of commitments. The 98 day session left a $206 million gap between planned spending and expected revenues, with $189 million in proposed increases for 2003 including education, pensions, and raises for state workers. Governor Graves vetoed several measures, including severance tax timing and a salary cut package, prompting cross party concern that tax hikes may come in 2002. Some officials see federal rebates and Blue Cross sale proceeds as economy boosters while May revenues beat expectations by 19.3 million.
