Higher ed gains spotlight in governor race in Kansas
In Topeka, incumbent Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Republican Jim Barnett contend the state must fund higher education to spur growth. Sebelius links funding to economic development and bioscience jobs, while Barnett argues the economy lags and proposes four tax cuts to boost revenue for Regents institutions. Both stress keeping colleges adequately funded to avoid rising tuition and aging facilities.
