Kansas debt grows as bond issues lift per capita burden
Kansas per capita debt could rise to 1352 by 2005 if population trends continue. The State Budget Division estimates $3.714 billion in bond principal due on June 30, 2005, with major portions tied to transportation, health and education bonds. Experts warn the rise may affect future borrowing capacity and public services. Public finance scholar Bart Hildreth calls it a warning flag while noting bonds fund long lived assets and not ongoing operations.

With 42 million infected globally, access remains limited as only eight percent receive costly drugs, while activists recount dramatic shifts from death to survival.
