Kansas faces budget hole amid tax cuts and school-funding risk
The Kansas budget outlook worsens with a projected ending balance of 5.6 million and a 20 million hole after revenue shortfalls. A pending Kansas Supreme Court ruling on school funding could require 500 to 800 million more for K-12, while tax cuts from 2012 and 2013 are blamed for enduring revenue declines and deferred payments. The editorial urges lawmakers to revise policy and acknowledge failure to spur growth.
