Kansas Lawmakers Strike Budget Cuts and Reapportionment
In Topeka lawmakers cut a 2.04 million portion of Gov Dockings budget earmarked for a Kansas Neurological Institute dining facility as overplanned. The Senate Education Committee delayed power equalizing school funding action until Thursday. A reapportionment bill creating 125 House districts cleared the chamber, with doubts of a Docking veto due to district population disparities. The House rejected a state ambulance regulation bill 21 to 73, risking potential loss of federal highway funds. A planned 3.5 million rise in the privatized tax on financial institutions failed in Senate Assessment and Taxation on a 5-4 vote, effectively killing the tax package. Senate leaders noted the measure would fund the governor’s budget and included tax rate adjustments and corporate deduction changes.
