Kansas official warns funds raid could jeopardize highway plan
Outgoing KDOT secretary Deb Miller says shifting transportation funds to other budgets jeopardizes a 10 year highway improvement plan. Since 2000 Kansas lawmakers redirected 1.4 billion from transit funds for Medicaid, patrol operations, and other programs, with 238 million diverted this year. Miller warns continued raids would force project eliminations even as lawmakers defend road and job gains from construction.
