Kansas Legislature Faces School Funding And Policy Clash
Issues left include Medicaid expansion guns on campuses and balancing the rest of the fiscal year. The Gannon v Kansas ruling threatens to void an unaudited school funding system if a new plan is not constitutionally adequate by June 30 2017. Kansas Board of Education projects KansasCan entails 511 million in 2017 18 and 330 million in 2018 19, with a total near 1.6 billion to meet court standards. Medicaid expansion looms with an 81 44 House vote and concealed carry debates forecast tighter gun rules. Budget gaps persist with a 281 million shortfall for the current year and tax plan battles amid vetoes and potential overrides.

Parks and Recreation notes grants and state or federal funds will be essential to complete the 1 mile downtown leg and other sections.
