Public broadcasting hit by half budget cut plan in Kansas
High Plains Public Radio in Garder City faces a about ten percent budget hit after a Kansas legislature amendment would divert half of the annual public television and radio allocation, about 900000 dollars, to the Kansas Commission on Veteran's Affairs. HPPR spokeswoman Deb Oyler says the station may lose around 120000 dollars and must revise plans by September, seeking donations and underwriting while preserving services.
