Redistricting recount sparks Lawrence concerns
Lawrence lawmakers and residents debate a drastic redistricting recount that shifts more residents into Lawrence districts. State Sen. Marci Francisco and Reps. Paul Davis and Barbara Ballard say the change dilutes Lawrence's representation and calls for a constitutional amendment. New district boundaries are being drafted for 2012 legislative session with the Special Committee on Redistricting meeting in multiple towns this week.

Kansas Governor Prepares for Deep Federal Cuts If Debt Default Occurs
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback warns of a substantial contraction in federal funding to the state if the national debt default proceeds. He cites a hidden but large “target” figure, noting about half of Kansas revenue comes from federal dollars and detailing potential impacts on social services, education, and planned highway bonds. Agencies consider drawing funds early and backfilling critical programs while anticipating cuts up to 50 percent in federal support if Washington cannot pay.
