Grim budget forecast from Kansas governor
Governor Bill Graves calls the proposed budget grim as he outlines cuts to state aid for public schools by 158 per student and 45 million in higher education funding not delivered, along with highway project cancellations and prison closures to close a 426 million gap. He warns a no new revenue stance risks deeper recession and long-term harm to K 12 and higher education, urging lawmakers to consider tax increases or policy choices beyond gambling.
