AG urges veto of items in Kansas budget
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt pushes Gov. Sam Brownback to veto two budget items he says would strain the AG's office. The budget plans $14.5 billion annually for two years. Schmidt targets a $600,000 transfer from concealed carry permit fees and a state agency salary cap that could hinder public safety functions. Brownback, reviewing the budget, faces a Sunday deadline to act and plans to attend an air show in Paris. Officials warn the cap could affect parole supervision and sex offender monitoring. A supplemental budget may be sought next January to restore higher education funding.

Wichita VA expands mental health services
The Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita opens a $4.6 million, 18 000 square foot building by Thanksgiving to consolidate behavioral health offices and boost care for veterans. The center, with about 100 staff in behavioral health, has grown demand since 2011 with more young and female veterans and families seeking services. A joint inpatient psychiatric facility with McConnell Air Force Base may follow if Congress funds it.
