Budget cuts hit state services in Topeka report
Gov. Bill Graves ordered emergency cuts totaling 78 million after 41 million in August reductions and 48 million in city and county payments, sparing public schools but slashing higher education and social services. Regents face 22 million less than expected, with 26.6 million cut in Social Services. Kathleen Sebelius urged to set priorities. Dagens Nyheter notes U.N. inspectors in Iraq as time runs short and a possible war, warning the real challenge begins after weapons fall silent.
