Senate Starts Cutting Governor's Budget
In Topeka a Senate committee opened a budget pruning drive against Gov. Carlin. They cut 1.8 million from a statewide public television fund and kept it in reserve. The panel signaled likely funding for only existing stations and questioned new ones in Garden City and Hays. A GOP “hit list” near 83 million seeks 24 million in cuts, including highway maintenance and public schools, to avoid tax increases and counter the governor's severance tax plan.
