Bennett Seeks Pay Cuts but Supports Legislature Raises
Gov. Bennett urged cutting pay increases for elective state officials in a major wage bill while backing higher pay for legislators. The plan adds 27.3 million for civil service raises of 5 percent plus 25 dollars a month and includes magistrates and judges. Bennett pressed for a cautious, data-backed overhaul and announced a task force to study the salary structure. He noted his view is advisory to a conference committee handling the bill. Kansas aims to align with comparable states, with ethics and public support in mind. In other action, Kansas food service director told a Senate panel Kansas uses a unique school lunch funding system saving money and expanding participation, while USDA seeks to streamline federal aid into a single annual grant to states.
