County budget cuts focus as jail funding under review
County officials preview a revised 2019 budget with status quo spending and several cut-first alternatives. Jail funding is a central question as a 6 pm May 30 public forum at the Douglas County Courthouse seeks input before decisions on reducing programs or preserving $15 million in behavioral health funding. Commissioner Derusseau notes modular jail units could cost $1.5 million annually, avoided only by spending cuts, and tax lid rules add pressure for any levy changes.

KU seeks tuition hike as board weighs final plan
Kansas University aims to raise in state undergraduate costs to 5573.95 per semester for 15 credits and graduate costs to 5513.35 for 12 credits next year with a 2.9 percent nonresident increase. The plan ends the four year compact rate and accounts for rising fixed costs including a 7.5 percent health care rise. Regents note state funding restoration falls short of prior cuts, pushing tuition reliance higher.
