Regents Repeals Toll Hike for Turnpike Repairs Plan
Kansas Senate panel rejected Governor Sebelius's plan to raise Turnpike tolls by 25 percent over six years to fund university repairs totaling about 660 million dollars. The proposal would have issued 300 million in bonds and 200 million in loans plus 75 million in new funding, but opponents argued toll revenues should stay with highway use and maintenance.

Community colleges face big repair bills in Kansas
A Kansas AP report shows 19 community colleges carry 149.5 million dollars in deferred maintenance, while six state universities total 660 million. Leaders urge state aid or tax credits, noting local funding limits and a need for maintenance support to sustain regional and statewide mission. Hutchinson CC tops with nearly 17 million in deferred work and seeks capital outlay funding to begin repairs. Pratt CC bears the highest local mill levy at 41 mills, limiting funds for maintenance.
