Budget battle over tax hike and looming forecast
Kansas lawmakers debate a budget with a tax plan attached as they await an April 20 revenue forecast that could alter next year’s funding. Supporters urge moving the budget first while opponents warn against spending without a clear plan. Senate proposals include a 2 percent state worker raise costing about $22 million and targeted funding to KU and K State to offset prior cuts.
