State chief outlines budget gap and next moves
State officials warn the budget year starting July 1 faces a shortfall of over 600 million. Governor Sebelius will present a budget with program cuts while promising not to harm public schools, and will seek new revenue and savings from a top to bottom government review. Agencies must absorb Graves era cuts as shifts to federal funding are explored, with Kansas Health and Environment noting a 12 percent state general fund cut, 77 percent of which funds salaries.
