Kansas officials clash on education funding and immigration
In April the Kansas Coalition for Fair Funding proposed a constitutional amendment to strip state courts of education funding decisions. Lawmakers passed a five year 548 million funding increase signed by Gov. Colyer, now under review by the Kansas Supreme Court for adequacy. Colyer touted higher pay for teachers and better instruction while not endorsing a specific funding amendment. Kobach supported the amendment. Orman backed a practical immigration policy and Laura Kelly urged a path for immigrant labor. Kobach warned illegal immigrants harm American workers and opposed in state tuition.
