Gov Graves Leads Kansas School Aid Cut Debate
In the 2002 Kansas legislative session Gov Bill Graves pushes the sharpest K 12 aid cut, about 158 per pupil, while Senate President Dave Kerr and Sen Steve Morris propose a 39 cut. Graves says he would veto the larger cut, as lawmakers weigh holding spending steady or raising taxes to avoid sharp school funding losses. The clash sets the stage for weeks of budget wrangling with no clear winner.
