Final Spending Bill Approved in Kansas Session Ends
Legislators approved a final spending bill 23 to 11 in the Senate and 73 to 49 in the House, sending it to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as the 90th day adjourned on May 29. The Parsons Army Ammunition Plant road project drew protests as a perceived pork visit, with critics denouncing the bill but supporters citing local job and strategic needs. The package would raise overall spending by about 3 percent and include tax changes, including a gradual cut in the corporate tax rate from 7.35 to 7 percent.
