Budget plan risks long term, shifts finance through one time sources
Kansas Governor Brownback proposes tapping $45 million in interest on unclaimed property, $27 million from PMIB investments, selling the Kansas Bioscience Authority, and freezing KPERS at 2016 levels to save $86 million. The plan totals $475 million in revenue and cost cuts but relies on one time funds, tobacco settlement access, and highway fund draws, with political pushback from lawmakers and advocacy groups.

Douglas County seeks mental health funding and jail reform
Douglas County pushes for state action to restore mental health funding and beds at state hospitals, with requests to exempt community mental health spending from tax lid limits and to avoid shifting prison overcrowding to counties. Officials call for funding district courts, reconsideration of mandatory sentences, and a four lane expansion of western Kansas Highway 10 with interchanges linking to County Route 438 and 458. The legislative report emphasizes reducing incarceration rates and improving local control amid a newly shaped Legislature.
