Should Kansas cut the KIDS Education Savings Match Program
The Kansas House seeks to end the KIDS Higher Education Savings Match Program as part of a broad budget fight.

Critics fear fraud, but receipts are required. supporters argue the loss hurts educational attainment and future workforce, especially in southwest Kansas, while tax cuts are funded by deep cuts to schools and aid to the poor.
