Kansas Senate debates education cuts to fill 320 million shortfall
The Senate moves to vote on a plan cutting about 128 million from K-12 and 23 million from higher education to close a 320 million revenue gap. KU Lawrence campus faces 3.9 million and KU Medical Center 3.2 million in cuts, atop prior 10 million reductions. Governors proposal relied on idle funds and pension payments, but GOP leaders insist on structural balance and spending restraint. Some freshmen and Democrats oppose the plan, signaling possible changes in a conference committee.

Medicaid Expansion Debate Shapes Kansas Testimony
On day two of hearings for a bill to extend KanCare under ACA provisions Governor Brownback opposes expansion. Supporters led by Alliance for a Healthy Kansas argue it would add 150,000 to coverage and draw hundreds of millions in federal funds. Opponents worry about long-term costs and federal policy shifts. Local chamber voices say expansion would create jobs and aid hospitals while reducing emergency room use.

Key partners include KU School of Medicine Wichita Salina MCA and Children’s Mercy while Stowers Institute aids research.
