Kansas delays 130 million monthly general aid to school districts and pension payments, sending half now with remaining funds promised soon. Officials say cash flow keeps payroll, bonds, and health care payments running, while larger shortfall and upcoming tax refunds threaten continued delays. House leader notes cash issues may persist into July as revenues and reserves are reviewed.
