Editorial questions on state employment in Kansas
A Topeka story reports Governor Docking casts an eye on the payroll and says Kansas state government is less efficient than peers. He cites 22 000 employed in February versus 20 000 three months later and a per capita target of 16 500 from a survey of 28 states. The Democrat in the House backs efficiency, while the editorial cautions slow action and notes past figures may mislead. It asks whether wholesale layoffs follow and warns of long term costs to residents and parties.
