Amendment would cut public broadcasting funding in Kansas
High Plains Public Radio in Garder City faces a about 120000 cut from a 900000 Kansas public TV and radio allocation. Deb Oyler says the reduction threatens services, with HPPR needing to raise funds and cut costs. The proposal moves half of the allocation to the Kansas Commission on Veterans Affairs, awaiting governor action.
