Kansas revenue estimates down but officials upbeat
Kansas lawmakers and Gov. Bill Graves said fresh revenue forecasts show lower total collections for the current year and fiscal 2001, prompting about $20 million in spending trims. The Consensus Estimating Group cut current-year forecasts by 55 million and 2001 by 2.6 million, yet leaders called the outlook manageable as they press to balance the fiscal plan.

Oz park cleanup bills heard by Senate panel
A Kansas Senate committee debated two Oz Entertainment cleanup bills to establish a trust fund for environmental costs and shield state workers from liability during the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant site cleanup near DeSoto. KDHE officials cited bond proceeds up to 45 million dollars backing the fund, while lawmakers debated protections for KDHE personnel amid ongoing contractor questions.

Negotiators clear path for vote on state budget
Three senators and three House members reached a compromise on the FY 2001 state budget after six hours of discussion over arts and wildlife funding. The final plan, totaling over 8.6 billion dollars, increases public school funding only if extra federal nursing home funds materialize. House and Senate budgets now align on arts funding and park program cuts, with continued aid to cities for outdoor recreation and a pledge to tie education spending to federal support.
