Editorial: Kansas Lottery Gamble Faces Renewal Debate
The Kansas Legislature will debate renewing the state lottery amid questions about operation and the fate of funds. Lottery revenues fund the Economic Development Initiatives Fund, EDIF, with most money supporting business, research, and university programs like KTEC, PSCOR, and centers for excellence. If not renewed, EDIF and related programs would need replacement sources, impacting Kansas' economic future.
