Feds pass buck on homeland security costs in Kansas
Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius said the federal government will not fund most homeland security costs in states. She noted Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge told governors to expect little federal support while Kansas still faces a $700 million budget gap. KDHE plans to use $10.4 million from the CDC and $5 million from HRSA for preparedness, with administration details to come. House committee on Kansas Security met privately to review a 1999 security audit and security upgrades, including mandatory photo IDs for all employees and random bag searches for visitors.
