Senators Views On School Finances In 39th District
DON CHRISTY analyzes the school finance debate as Senate Bill 92 faced 117.9 million then 72 million, causing inequities across Southwest Kansas. Garden City would gain roughly half of extra income while other rural districts lose state aid, shifting costs to income and sales taxes and raising questions about equity and tax relief. The piece warns against the governor and committee plans, noting past highway funding shifts and the potential cast of current formulas on future finances. A stray ad section lists unrelated 12x50 rugs and 12x50 central address real estate items with partial descriptions.
