Federal aid to Kansas shrinks under Reagan years
A new study financed by AFSCME finds Kansas lost 421.1 million in grants and 405.4 million in payments during 1982 to 1986 due to Reagan era cuts and rule changes. Nationwide grants and social programs fell 114.8 billion. The report, by Fiscal Planning Services, notes gains in highway aid but large cuts in Medicare and other programs. Kansas officials warn future deficits threaten state services amid Gramm Rudman targets.
