Legislature OKs budget in the early morning hours
Kansas lawmakers passed a late night budget deal with a projected $27 million shortfall this year and $81 million next year, assuming Gov. Brownback makes $82 million in cuts and a $115 million highway fund sweep. The measure avoids immediate K-12 cuts while shifting higher education burdens and delaying a $100 million pension payment, as critics warn of ongoing revenue gaps and fiscal stress.

April revenue up slightly in Kansas finances
Kansas officials reported April tax collections exceeded projections by 2.6 million as sales and personal income taxes rose, while corporate, cigarette and oil and gas severance taxes fell short. The state raised sales tax to 6.5 percent and lawmakers moved to limit personal income tax deductions, with education funding also under court scrutiny.
