Graves Budget Crisis Looms Over Kansas Legislature
Kansas residents urged lawmakers to reject Gov. Bill Graves’s plan for at least 426 million dollars in budget cuts announced for FY 2002 and FY 2003. The proposed cuts hit K12 and higher education, social services, and highways with no raises, while critics say the crisis is exaggerated and partly avoidable through emergency action. The plan targets 147 million moved from sales tax receipts to KDOT, 27 million for higher education, 37 million for special education, and 19 million by replacing general funds with federal senior services money, plus a 158 dollar per pupil cut in K12 aid, totaling concerns about long-term impacts on schools and state services.
