Kansas Nears Prescription Drug Buying Compact
Governor Kathleen Sebelius said Kansas is close to joining a four state compact to purchase prescription drugs for the needy at a discount. She expects an agreement to be signed within ten days to take effect July 1, potentially saving several million dollars annually amid a looming seven hundred million dollar budget shortfall. Joining Michigan, South Carolina, Vermont and Wisconsin could expand Medicaid cost relief as the state faces rising medical service expenses. Senate President Dave Kerr noted a task force will soon offer recommendations to curb medical costs.

Sebelius signals plan to fill shortfall with new revenue
Governor Kathleen Sebelius outlined a plan to raise 300 to 330 million dollars for the next fiscal year, focusing on allowing slot machines at a Dodge City casino and at dog and horse tracks. She also intends further spending cuts and revenue measures, though she did not confirm a tax increase. The plan seeks to erase a 700 million dollar shortfall and leave about 100 million in reserves, with an announcement within 10 days. House leaders push for details as concerns grow over dwindling reserves and education funding protection.
