Governor veto blocks plan to cut public broadcasting
Kansas Governor Parkinson vetoed a budget provision to cut public broadcasting funding, preserving rural HPPR services and inviting further fundraising. The veto also removed a greenhouse gas regulation provision and a Planned Parenthood funding shift, while pursuing a broader plan to avoid school and social service cuts. The move drew support from utilities and opponents, with lawmakers unsure on overrides. Veteran programs receive funding boosts despite the vetoes.
