Kansas economy shows slowdown signs in 1996
The state faces an economic slowdown with lower interest rates and slower personal income growth, though a recession is not anticipated. Consumption declines due to higher debt weigh on growth while service jobs rise. If Congress passes a balanced budget, federal rates may ease to support buyers. Construction and real estate jobs stay strong but finance, insurance, and real estate see declines, with Kansas outpacing U S growth since 1989 and projected again in 1996.

Tree owner Nicolozakes planned to store the foliage and hoped to reroute if Congress resolves the shutdown. State leaders Glenn and Ney offered to deploy staff to unload in Washington.

GOP Medicare cuts differ for states
The Republican plan to overhaul Medicaid could drain far more money from federal health programs for the poor than the 1995 act’s savings. It would cap state shares at 40 cents per dollar of federal funding, potentially reducing overall health care spending for the poor, elderly and disabled. Conferees set 51 base rates to aid states, with Louisiana Nebraska and Nevada receiving special rules.
