August receipts fell 10.5 million short of estimates, a 2.4 percent miss, as sales and corporate taxes lag while individual income and use taxes beat projections. A Brownback commission will report by late October, amid calls to reset budgets and school funding. Political shifts after primaries add pressure ahead of January budget proposals.

Low turnout among previously barred voters in Kansas primary
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach said only 73 of more than 17,000 people who lacked proof of citizenship registered to vote cast ballots in the August 2 primary. The ACLU has challenged the 2013 law requiring citizenship proof, while court rulings allowed some voters to cast full ballots in prior elections. Kobach cited allegations many affected voters moved away, with turnout figures showing Johnson and Wyandotte counties well below the state rate.
