Budget potshots mark Kansas spending standoff ahead of session
The Kansas Legislature submitted a 4 percent rise for its branch and a 3 percent rise for the next fiscal year to Gov. Mark Parkinson who questioned the increases.

Leaders frame the clash as an indicator of a contentious session with public services already strained.
