Audit Finds Highway Funds Used for Aviation in Kansas
An audit released in Topeka charges the Kansas Department of Transportation with improperly using highway tax revenue to operate the aviation division. The department disputes the finding and will seek legislative change to permit the use. The report also urges excluding Kansas Turnpike mileage from local road funding formulas, noting four counties receive about 35,000 extra annually. A separate review faults the Kansas School for the Deaf and the School for the Visually Handicapped for not depositing all student fees and donations into the state treasury.
