House budget plan reneges on university funding promises
The Kansas House Appropriations Committee unveiled a budget plan to close a 206 million gap without new taxes, but it trims 4.2 million from a 20.8 million increase promised to universities in 1999. The plan relies on quicker severance tax payments and higher ED savings, risking the 6.2 percent faculty raises Graves proposed. Negotiations resume Wednesday with Senate leaders amid broader government cuts and bond shifts.
