Graves seeks to add to Patrol budget for troopers and staff
Gov. Bill Graves proposes adding 911000 to the Kansas Highway Patrol budget to hire 15 troopers and one office worker, addressing staffing gaps across rural counties and interstates such as I 70. Officials estimate current staffing shortfalls and urge continued funding for public safety. The plan also ties to federal funds and trucker license fees to support trucking safety programs.
