Parkinson unveils fifth round of Kansas budget cuts
Governor Mark Parkinson announced 259 million in budget adjustments triggering layoffs for state employees, unpaid furloughs, larger class sizes, and deeper cuts to social services. He apologized and urged Kansans to help through churches and charity while avoiding promises on a tax increase for 2010. The reductions, the fifth since the recession began, aim to balance the current year’s budget.
