Senate panel opposes Brownback arts reorganization plan
The Kansas Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee backed a measure to block Gov. Brownback's bid to dissolve the Kansas Arts Commission. If approved by the full Legislature, the plan to shift duties to a private Kansas Arts Foundation and the Kansas Historical Society would be halted and funding kept with the state agency. The panel noted the commission's ongoing work and its $750,000 annual matching grants role with National Endowment for the Arts programs.

Kansas budget talks stall on special education funds
Kansas lawmakers made no progress on a compromise budget as negotiators failed to meet and weigh Gov. Sam Brownback's push to trim spending while satisfying federal demands to boost special education funding. Senators favor funding, but House members want to finance it by reducing base aid to 289 districts. The stalled talks center on covering 26 million in special education costs and potential federal funding consequences.
