Kansas House advances budget balance bill amid GOP push
The Kansas House moved a deficit reducing measure to final action by voice vote to avert an estimated 312 million dollar shortfall by June 30 2003. The plan cuts 118 million from the current budget with 95 million highway withholdings and 48 million for cities and counties while 35 million is funded by fee revenue. A companion amendment would set aside 111 million by June 30 2005 to restore highway funds and 16 million of diverted fees, drawing Democratic opposition as delaying a cure.
