Republicans push through cross-board budget cuts
The Ways and Means Committee approved an 8-5 vote to send the plan to the Senate for a Wednesday session. Republicans backed a 300 million dollar cut, targeting higher education and public schools with combined reductions of about 131 million for schools and 101 million more than Sebelius proposed, risking tax increases at local levels and forcing districts to cut programs. Senate leaders and Democrats criticized the measure as deep, punitive, and damaging to vulnerable Kansans, while supporters argued it protects essential services and avoids broader program eliminations.
