Highlights from the Kansas Legislature

Highlights of Friday’s activities at the Kansas Legislature:

  • On a 78-44 vote, the House approved a $113 million education funding plan relying on existing state revenues on a 78-44 vote.
  • Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said approval of plans in both chambers represented only “a baby step” on school finance because both proposals cover only one year and provide no new revenues.

? Also:

Some school superintendents were critical of House and Senate education funding plans, viewing them as inadequate.

Clock is ticking:

Friday was the 54th calendar day of the session, out of 90 scheduled.
